Ours has hints of Barbiecore, for a bit of fun.

In association with Resene.

– Forgoing artwork in favour of framing furniture with a statement mural is a bold choice, but painting the backdrop, wall and floor more subdued hues will create the visual balance you need to pull it off. Tie a playful mural into a space by introducing decorative items of a smaller scale in the same colour palette.

  To recreate our design, sketch it on a piece of paper, then use a ruler and pencil to overlay the sketch with a grid. We painted our wall in Resene SpaceCote Flat in Resene Sea Fog (top) and Resene Contented before using a metre ruler and pencil to translate our grid onto the wall, then adding the shapes as they appeared in each box. For clean lines, use a speed brush to outline the shapes before filling them in with a small roller. You’ll find the tools you need at your local Resene ColorShop, along with the colours we used for our mural: (above, from bottom left) Resene Grenadier, Resene See The Light, Resene Temptation and Resene Petal. 

  Make matching placemats by applying base coats to MDF boards and leaving them to dry; we used Resene Lumbersider in Resene Contented and Resene See The Light. Next, apply other Resene paints in a series of random dots before using strips of cardboard to swipe through them to create artistic patterns.
