Character strengths
A symphony of white isn’t the only way forward for a spacious
home interior – this light-filled Landmark showhome has
the dramatic touch of a feature wall in Resene Nero
A feature interior wall in a strong colour
can draw attention to the scale of a room,
add drama, and offer varied backgrounds
for furniture, drapery and artworks.
This spacious Pukekohe showhome –
the Waiata by Landmark Homes – has two
living zones, one with a high stud due to
its gabled roof form. Stacker doors open
this room to a large wooden deck.
With so much natural light flooding
into the living, dining, kitchen zone, the
designer opted for a feature wall in Resene
Nero. This inky black yet easy-on-the-eye

colour complements the soft tones of
Resene Double White Pointer introduced
on the walls and skirtings. Resene Quarter
Rice Cake is used on doors and architraves
while Resene Eighth White Pointer sets off
the lofty ceilings.
The introduction of Resene Nero in the
primary living room also helps bring the
outside in, as this colour features on the
home’s external Linea Weatherboard too.
Surface selections are made easy with
these colours as they were all chosen from
the Resene Whites and Neutrals collection

– a range where all the tones are designed
to ideally complement each other.
