Winning
scheme
This lively interior won
the Resene Total Colour
Residential Interior
Award for 2014

Not all neutrals are created equal. The
designer of this home interior chose a
fresh neutral shade that provides a lively,
interesting backdrop for the owners’
furnishings.
Judges in the Resene Total Colour
Awards 2014 were so impressed with
the overall scheme they awarded Henri
Sayes the Resene Total Colour Residential Award. In announcing the award, the
judges said the project presented a “beautiful contrast of neutrals with a confident,
brave ceiling”.
“This home has a lovely integration
of colour that delineates and defines the
spaces and transitions. Subdued and
considered, it adds an element of surprise.
It’s not bright or garish, yet the colour
brings personality to the space.”
The judges also praised the rhythm
and flow of the interior, and the way the
warm tones on the ceiling bring a sense of
playfulness to the home.
The walls shown here are painted in
Resene Friar Grey, described as a yellowbased stone grey. The ceiling on the upper
level features Resene Bonanza, a warm,
velvety flesh-toned pink, and the study
walls are in Resene Raptor, described as a
murky dinosaur green. Resene SpaceCote
Flat was used for all these surfaces.
