Make a bold entrance Bring out your entrance foyer using the popular combinations of grey, yellow and orange. It makes the entrance vibrant and welcoming, and so much more than just a transitional space. To start, the walls are painted a soft French grey, Resene Gull Grey. This simple, uncomplicated grey is perfect to use as a neutral backdrop for bright accents in yellow and orange. A sturdy bench seat is painted in Resene Sunflower and as a fun feature, an unusually shaped paper light shade has been given painted spots in Resene Sunflower and Resene Daredevil. Instead of painting the front door all one colour, create a bit of quirky interest by painting the edge of the door in a contrasting colour. This can work well, too, if you want to paint the exterior of the door a different colour from the interior, acting as a neat division between the two. Here, Resene Daredevil is the main colour, and Resene Sunflower is the contrasting yellow. The simple geometric flooring pattern is easily created by marking out diagonal lines using masking tape then painted the two tones of grey (Resene Gull Grey and Resene Cod Grey) on opposite triangles. Peel off the masking tape (do this before the paint is fully dry), to reveal a strip of timber beneath. Dip natural coat hooks into Resene testpots of colour – Resene Cod Grey, Resene Sunflower and Resene Daredevil. They are then arranged in a fairly random pattern on the wall for this casual effect. If you want something more formal, just line them up. Styling by LeeAnn Yare, photo by Melanie Jenkins.

This photograph shows four panels of antique mirror used as a piece of art creating a feature wall to decorate a villa hallway. The antiquing was requested by our customer to be heavy around the edges with very little showing in the centre of each panel. Consider antique mirrored glass as a design tool that comes in clear float (pictured above), grey or bronze. Fitted to cabinetry backs or within architectural details, antique mirror provides texture, depth and interest.
