Sometimes to fit in, you have to stand out. That's the philosophy behind our Resene Colour Homes winner of 2023/2024, which saw Bonnie Slade and Jason Callister take out the top prize with their fearless use of a mix of Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen and Resene Lustacryl semi-gloss paint in their Nelson home.
The house, a "1980s fibre cement board box", was the ugly duckling in a row of heritage homes. When the couple moved in, they undertook a bold, brilliant renovation to add colour and warmth to the home. In the living room, the floorboards are painted in Resene Spinnaker with Resene Aquamarine used as a striking green feature wall for contrast.
"Bonnie is a real trendsetter. I never thought to paint my floorboards blue, but now I'm eyeing up my own at home," says editor Fiona Hawtin.
