Shimmer by the roll

12 Dec 2023

The new Resene FX Metallics Wallpaper Collection offers a simple way to add even more glimmer and glamour to your upcoming projects.

This collection is manufactured with real Resene paint and perfectly matches what you see on the paint swatches in the Resene FX Metallic and Special Effect colour chart. That means that when you apply the same Resene FX Metallic paint colour to other décor objects in your design, it'll match your wallpaper perfectly for a flawless look. Try layering multiple Resene FX Metallic paint colours within your design for ultimate glamour.

All 45 of the metallic colours from the Resene FX Metallic and Special Effects colour chart are available as part of the Resene FX Metallics Wallpaper Collection. With all the painting done for you, you can change from a bland space to a metallic finished beauty in minutes.

Restaurants, bars, hotels, residential home and commercial office spaces are just some of the project typologies that can be elevated by covering the walls and ceilings in a glamorous metallic finish. In this space, the back wall is painted in Resene FX Metallics Wallpaper Deep Space, right wall in Resene FX Metallics Wallpaper Blast Grey 3, front wall (left) in Resene FX Metallics Wallpaper Magma, and floor stained in Resene Colorwood Bark.

Ever since their release, the captivating colours that make up the Resene FX Metallic range have been popular favourites for adding shimmer and shine to a wide range of different surfaces and substrates. With the Resene FX Metallics Wallpaper Collection, you can add these stunning special effects to walls, ceilings and other smooth surfaces in a flawless finish.

These newly released designs make it quicker and simpler to achieve a uniform sparkling finish no matter how expansive your project's broadwall surfaces may be.

Because the designs are uniform in colour and finish, there is no repeat to calculate. As with any other wallpaper design, when the product arrives, it's recommended to double-check that all of your rolls come from the batch number so that you can be confident the colour will be uniform. Resene FX Metallics Wallpaper Collection designs are 'paste the wall' – so wallpaper paste is put on to the wall rather than the paper itself. This type of wallpaper is generally the easiest to hang and is easy to remove if required, as it simply peels off in one piece. As always, the best way to ensure a high-quality finish that you and your client will love is to put in the proper prep work. The effort put in to ensure holes are patched and your substrate is clean, sanded smooth and free from dust or loose or flaking paint before hanging your wallpaper is always worth it.

Paint décor in the same Resene FX Metallic colour to match your chosen Resene FX Metallics Wallpaper for an enviable colour drenched look.

While metallic wallpaper designs produced by international designers and manufacturers can be hard to get your hands on, Resene FX Metallics Wallpaper is designed and manufactured in Porirua, New Zealand, using Resene paints made in Wellington, so you can easily source what you need for your projects.

Since photos can never truly do their decadent shimmer justice, the Resene FX Metallics Wallpaper Collection is best experienced in person. To see it for yourself, visit your local Resene ColorShop or order a A4 drawdown paint sample of your chosen Resene FX Metallic colour online at www.resene.com/drawdowns.
