Take one plain wooden dining chair and make it a stand-alone statement piece with two Resene colours. You don’t always need a full set of dining chairs; they can be statement pieces all on their own!

You could use a chair like this in a home office, as a plant stand, or as a bedside table for your books and lamp. Painting one chair is an easy way to inject a bit of colour into a room too.

Make the most of this weekend with this easy step by step project idea from Resene.

Strict safety measures will be in place to protect workers on site, residents and other members of the public. These include workers keeping to their “bubbles” on site and strict controls on everyone coming in and out of the worksites.

Normal work hours are 7am – 6pm, with noisy work not beginning until 7.30am. Sometimes work will need to be done on Saturday mornings, when noisy work will not begin before 8am. No work will be done on Sundays unless it is an emergency. Safe pedestrian access will be maintained on all streets at all times.

Working on roads is very dangerous for people, and traffic management is a key part of reducing this risk. Please take care around construction sites as there may be uneven surfaces.


There are range of updates as part of this work that apply to nearby streets, for more detail on this please visit the link below.

We help you get the most from your garden
