When it comes to creating beautiful spaces, choosing the right colours can make all the difference. Anna Barducci, a seasoned Colour Designer and Consultant from Brilliant Colours, knows this better than anyone. With over 15 years of experience, Anna has worked with clients ranging from small to large builders and DIY enthusiasts, helping bring their design dreams to life.
Recently, Anna collaborated with Astina, a prominent builder in Penrith, on a townhouse project. Her expert guidance and choice of colours transformed the development into a serene and universally appealing space. Here’s how she achieved it.
The Design Brief: Warm, Neutral, and Earthy
Astina’s brief for the townhouses was clear: create a warm, neutral, and earthy palette that would appeal to a wide range of potential buyers. As the townhouses were to be sold upon completion, the colours needed to evoke a sense of calm while being versatile enough for buyers to add their own personal touches and accent colours.
To meet this challenge, Anna opted for a monochromatic palette from Haymes Paint. She chose their “Aged Grey” range, using varying strengths to define different spaces and add depth.
Walls: Aged Grey 3
Kitchen Joinery: Aged Grey 4
Townhouses Exterior: Aged Grey 5 and 6, accounting for the tendency of colours to appear lighter by 2-3 shades outdoors.
Using a monochromatic palette makes for a clean and cohesive design that is pleasing to the eye and easy to decorate,” Anna explains. “It also ties the interiors and exteriors together beautifully, creating a harmonious flow throughout the property.
Anna’s choices didn’t stop at paint colours. She carefully considered the flooring and benchtop materials to ensure a seamless integration of all design elements, further enhancing the overall aesthetic.
Anna’s trust in Haymes Paint is deeply rooted in its quality and versatility. Having worked with various brands over her career, she finds Haymes Paint to be unparalleled in its neutral colour range and ability to stay on trend with modern design preferences.
“Haymes has a superior selection of beiges and off-whites that perfectly complement today’s interiors,” she says. “I’ve grown tired of other colour ranges, but Haymes consistently offers fresh and inspiring options.”
Another reason Anna champions Haymes Paint is its performance.
Painters love using Haymes products. The enamel finish, in particular, looks and feels like polyurethane, giving it a sprayed, polished look. Clients love the end result, and so do I.
Beyond aesthetics and performance, Anna values Haymes Paint for being an Australian-owned company.
“While it’s not as well-known in Sydney yet, it’s a brand that deserves more recognition. Their commitment to quality and their Australian heritage are qualities I’m proud to support.”
Anna’s partnership with Network Render & Paint assisted with the success of this project. Known for their exceptional customer service and expertise, the team provided the resources and support Anna needed to bring her vision to life.
