While maintaining an overall restrained palette, the bold Aalto Ultramarine Blue feature creates a visual impact
Refined modern living
This thoughtfully considered renovation project took place in the heart of Grey Lynn, transforming a traditional bungalow into a private oasis.
The carefully curated palette of soft natural colours are interspersed with bold design choices and a contemporary art collection to reflect the clients personality and style.
“Working with my good friends at Aalto Paint was a thoroughly enjoyable process, initially sampling their beautiful colours from their swatch book to curate the perfect mood for my project, where they send you test pots and swatches that you can test, and integrate with your materials palette at design process, to requesting bespoke edits and variations to my chosen colour set for finishing. Aalto make the paint speccing process seamless and engaging. Their Penrose showroom is immersive, and a must see to experience for their bespoke mixing process. I opted for my interpretation of ‘perfect’ white, which is their Detach colour, at an eighth strength, in a satin finish for the exterior. The interior walls and trims were done in Limbo Half, with the walls in a matt finish and trims in semi gloss. My feature wall in their Ultra Marine Blue is my favourite colour they do because I am a Pisces and it sings from my song sheet."
