Vibrant welcome
Lush tropical gardens surround this home, while a gleaming red door provides
a stand-out entry – one of several uses of Resene paint indoors and out
Beautiful house, but where’s the front
door? That’s certainly not a question asked
by guests approaching this contemporary
home by Architecture Smith + Scully. The
vibrant entry door is finished in Resene
Jalapeno, a colour that’s repeated on the
kitchen splashback.
Director Hilary Scully says Resene
Jalapeno offered a strong feature accent
for the garden-surrounded home.
However, the eye-catching front door
and back-painted glass splashback are not
the only strong paint stories in this home.
Contrasting the cedar cladding, Scully
chose Resene Lumbersider in Resene Black
for the garage door and Resene Pitch Black
wood stain for the trim and batons.
“In a sense, the paint theme is black
and white – black on the exterior, white on
the interior,” says Scully. “The hall, living
room, kitchen and most bedroom walls
are in Resene Half Merino.”
Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen in Resene
Merino was chosen for the laundry and
bathroom for its durable low-sheen finish.
Doors and trims throughout the home
are in hard-wearing Resene Lustacryl.
“We usually specify Resene for our pro-
jects. They have great staff who are helpful
with advice and specifications. Plus Resene
has an evolving colour range,” says Scully.
