Resene - Pots of Colour

Adding colour to your pot plants is easier than ever with new Resene Terracotta Sealer. Designed for use on terracotta pots inside and out, Resene Terracotta Sealer is suitable for use over a wide range of terracotta surfaces, including terracotta statues and ornaments. Resene Terracotta Sealer seals the surface of the terracotta and imparts excellent waterbeading properties so even if you wish to leave the terracotta in its original terracotta colouring, the Resene Terracotta Sealer will help keep it looking good for longer… and it will be much easier to dust! It is also the ideal basecoat for overcoating with Resene decorative topcoats so you can grab your favourite Resene colours in testpots and add your own decorative flair in colour to terracotta pots, statues and ornaments to complement your decor.

Designworx: On Trends - Retro

Trends are fickle things. Here today, gone tomorrow. Trends take todays influences and inspirations to the next level. Pushing boundaries and perimeters into new ways of thinking. Often trends don’t reinvent the wheel – so to speak- but take a twist on what is already happening in the world and push us to look at things differently.

Inspiration for new trends often have a cyclic influence. What goes around, comes around....again and again....each time with a slightly different take on the same direction.

Retro: We tend to associate retro with style from the 60’s and 70’s. But actually the meaning of “retro” is more encompassing, referring to a fashion, decor, design, or style, reminescent of things past.
