This year’s Resene Colour Home Awards winners have crafted a charming country home with a refreshing palette of colours deftly mixed with neutrals
COLOUR CRUSH
You won’t see many plain white walls in Kirsty and David Wraight’s newly built character home in Blenheim. The winners of this year’s Resene Colour Home Awards have used a number of Resene colours and wallpapers throughout their house, creating a soft, tonal effect with a lovely selection of pastel hues.
It’s been a really personal project: the home was built last year by David, and the interior was created by Kirsty. The home also functions as a bed and breakfast and part-time showroom for the couple’s business (building cottages and transportable homes).
“This build has been a lot of fun for me, putting together the colours, flooring and curtains,” says Kirsty. “I love playing with colour and spent a lot of time with fabric samples and paint swatches.”
