What is your role at Resene and what does it involve? 

My role is the Resene Northern Retail Manager. I am responsible to 32 Resene ColorShops (from Taupo north) with an overview of staff, training, ColorShop operations and presentation. I am also the Resene Wallpaper Category Manager.

Tell us about some of your favourite projects using Resene products.

My personal favourite project was my WC reno at home. It features a design from the Resene Versace Wallpaper Collection on the ceiling with matching wallpaper on the walls. It’s an in your face design, but stunning! 


Ingel’s WC featuring Resene Wallpaper Collection 387056 and 387066.

What is you biggest design or product tip?

Planning is a huge part of a successful project whether it be painting or wallpapering. Knowing the preparation required, accessories and paint products most suited, will help you achieve the best result possible. This is the same for wallpapering, ensuring you do the right preparation and use the right/recommended products is paramount and will add to the overall finish. Take your time – there is no need to rush.  

Can you recommend a couple of great Resene products for our readers?

Two of my favourite products are Resene SpaceCote Flat and Resene Lumbersider Low Sheen.

Resene SpaceCote Flat applies easily, has a near flat finish ideal for internal areas where there are critical lighting issues. It has the appearance of a luxury finish, I have used it throughout my home and love it.

Resene Lumbersider Low Sheen is an extremely versatile product and always achieves a top class result. Very easy to use with a great result.

What is your favourite Resene colour/s?

My favourite Resene colours are Resene Pohutukawa, Resene Periglacial Blue, Resene Ironsand and Resene Woodsman Natural.
