– Painting a doorway (arched or rectangular) is an elegant way to add detail to a simple space — and it’s as easy as pie. This works best in a room that’s painted a pale colour because it ensures a bold contrast (or vice versa).
– You might like to let your Resene paint choices be informed by hero homeware items or artwork in the room. Our palette was inspired by the velvet of the chair and the tiled top of the console table in the hallway.
– Mask and paint an 18cm band around the door frame, then paint the interior of the frame the same shade. We continued the band around the room to create a skirting-board effect.
– Now’s a fine opportunity to also make yourself a new object of interest. Keep an eye out in op shops for an intriguingly shaped vase, then use a Resene testpot in a favourite shade to instantly bring it up to date, like we did, below.
