She’s done it again! See how Priyanka has transformed this home into a luxurious sanctuary

Architectural and interior designer Priyanka Sareen from Home Factor knows just how to create a cosy yet elegant home. Her use of Resene paints continues to wow her clients and this project was no different. Priyanka has curated a collection of charming whites and cosy dark shades to create this timeless home.

From the outset, the grandeur of the front door adorned with a weighty and bold pull from Desejo – one of Priyanka’s signature designs – sets the stage for what’s to come.

The interior is comprised of two wings that extend from a central entryway, and amidst the openness, sophisticated lighting becomes a storyteller with each fixture serving a unique purpose. Bespoke hanging lights in a custom black finish cast intricate shadows that add depth to the space. 

This colour drenched moody and bold media room is painted in Resene Mako for a cocooning and cosy effect.

The 'Space' light from Desejo, an epitome of statement pieces, hovers majestically over the dining table, creating shapes that shift with every glance. The walls are painted in Resene Half Merino with ceiling in Resene Quarter Merino.

The kitchen reflects nature's splendour and the influence of the homeowners' illustrious hotel, EBB. Luxury intertwines with functionality, with the island finished in rare natural stone that cascades in a waterfall effect. Resene Merino in varying strengths harmonises with the earthy tones, casting a warm glow.

This light-filled bedroom is painted in Resene Half Merino, with the ceiling and trims in Resene Quarter Merino.

Bursts of colour in décor and fabric complement the walls painted in Resene Half Merino and ceiling in Resene Quarter Merino.

Resene Half Mako, a deep and tranquil grey-green, makes a bold statement in the media room and master ensuite, creating a sense of drama and intimacy. Dark shades are particularly great for media rooms as they create a cinematic, cosy feel to unwind and relax with family and friends.

As always, Priyanka has transformed the bathrooms into opulent sanctuaries. Drawing inspiration from the depths of nature and the allure of EBB, each bathroom has its own unique character. From emerald greens to sultry slate greys, every corner offers richness and depth. 

The green-grey tones in Resene Mako on the ceiling reflect the beauty of the lush greenery outside and the rest of the bathroom decor. This is a luxurious space to unwind at the end of a long day.

The clay and marble shades of Resene Wallpaper Collection PO32-VD4 reflect the inspiration nature offers throughout this home and provides a luxurious look for this powder room. The ceiling is painted in Resene Mako.

The powder room mural - Resene Wallpaper Collection PO32-VD4 – with its delicately layered waves in hues of clay and cerulean, was nominated by the Master Builders Association for its impactful presence. It's a testament to the versatility of the Resene range with a vast range of wallpaper and mural options available to make it easy to turn walls into unique features.

The outdoor space is designed for all seasons. The ceiling is painted in Resene Quarter Merino, creating a harmonious flow between the interior and exterior.

Inspired by the Sonoran Desert, this 1.4m tall door handle from Desejo creates a unique feel as you approach the home and looks great against the dark shade of the door in Resene Charcoal.

And as the sun sets, casting its golden hues upon this sanctuary, you can't help but marvel at the masterpiece Priyanka has created. With her skilful use of Resene neutrals she has created a timeless home that perfectly displays the homeowners’ personal possessions, artwork and fine choice of fixtures.

Top tip: Choose flat finishes, such as Resene SpaceCote Flat, in cocooning spaces, such as media rooms and master bedrooms, and especially where dark neutrals are planned.  Flat or matt finishes help to diffuse the light giving the space a sense of cosiness and bringing out the depth of the colour’s undertone.
