This design by Templer
Interiors has a refined,
welcoming air – the
finishes are by Resene
Cabinetry styles, room layouts, fixtures
all make a difference, but the right colours
can really bring an interior design to life.
For this project, by Susan Templer, the
wife wanted an all white kitchen while the
husband preferred some colour.
“Taking cues from the clients’ colour
choices in accessories and soft furnishings,
I knew Resene Robin Egg Blue would be a
winner for the dining room cabinetry,”
says Templer. “It’s bright and fresh but
subtle enough to enhance rather than
compete with Resene Lustacryl in Resene
Quarter Black White on the kitchen cabinets. And also it marries beautifully with
the brown tile floors.
“We painted the walls around the
white kitchen cabinets the same colour
as the dining room cabinetry. Looking
through the dining room, the kitchen
becomes the backdrop and the colours
relate back to each other.”
For the dining room walls SpaceCote
Low Sheen Thorndon Cream is used as a
transitional colour, a warmer tone than the
stark white kitchen cabinetry and a good
backdrop to art and collectibles.
The ceilings are in Resene Ceiling
Paint Black White while the skirting,
architraves, and scotias are all finished in
Resene Lustacryl Quarter Black White.
