Blocking colours: easily create artistic effects in your home with paint and masking tape

You can achieve your own Riverside/Mondrian-style mural at home with a bit of masking tape, careful planning, and some bright Resene colours.

Colour blocking is a great way to liven up a feature wall in your home. We’re loving the ‘randomly placed blocks’ look reminiscent of the great works of Dutch painter Piet Mondrian – and of Dcypher’s new Riverside Market Resilient mural. To achieve this look, choose primary colours like Resene Aviator, Resene Dynamite and Resene Galliano, separated by lines in a dark shade like Resene Blackjack. Pair with a neutral backdrop so that it’s the block of colour that shines. The key is to give each colour enough room to breathe rather than filling the whole space with shapes.
