Seasoned renovators Tyge and Christina Dellar are busy transforming their family’s forever home in Stillwater, Auckland. After renovating most of their spacious home, they’ve been busy updating their son Zeph’s bedroom.
Christina says that while the light-filled room was fine as it is, it was a little bland and boring, with its plain white walls and timber trims. The couple have been working to an overall Hamptons-style theme throughout their home, but were a little stumped with exactly how to translate this in Zeph’s room, while still making it a cool and fun boy’s space.
Looking for inspiration
As seasoned renovators, the couple know that it’s highly recommended to get some expert advice. So, as they’ve done in the past, they visited their local Resene ColorShop to chat through some options with Resene Colour Expert Brenda Ngatai. Meeting with a Resene Colour Expert is a great way to further flesh out your ideas and overall vision as they’re a wealth of knowledge and are always available to point you in the right direction.
Christina knew that she wanted stripes, as it’s a timeless style that Zeph can grow into and that is “still cool when he’s a teenager,” she says. With Brenda’s help, they quickly narrowed down the best options in the Resene wallpaper library, which has thousands of colours and patterns to choose from.
The habitat plus – wallpaper guide is another fantastic tool for inspiration – you can collect a copy from your local Resene ColorShop or read it online. This handy guide provides advice on how to choose wallpaper, the types available and how to hang it. It also showcases current trends, including botanical prints, florals, metallic finishes, graphic prints, oversize designs and murals, the classics, fun looks and personalised art prints.
