Quarter Tea Striped Lounge: RESENE

With interior design, it’s never too late to change your stripes.

Incorporating patterns is a great way to introduce a multitude of colours into any space. Not only does the use of bold colour in areas such as your living room create a striking statement and lift the room, it’s also the perfect solution for hiding imperfect walls or floors.

While this living room has a mild and neutral palette with walls in Resene Quarter Tea and floor in dusty Resene Talisman, it is the striking addition of the striped side wall that raises this room from drab to fab.

With stripes in golden Resene Rusty Nail and deep Resene Blackout, this feature wall not only introduces movement through pattern but also provides a base colour scheme for the room’s décor.

With a bold feature wall in the mix, it must remain cohesive within the space. One way to connect your feature wall is to draw out your hero colour and paint upcycled vases, plant pots or side tables.

If you’re just beginning to get creative with colour, Resene has an abundance of simple DIY project ideas to help you become familiar with their wide range of colours.

Wanting just a touch of colour in your space? Select a bold, heated colour such as Resene Outrageous or Resene Guardsmen Red and try painting a vase or plant pot for your space. Starting with smaller projects such as these will build your confidence with colour and make it easier than ever to experiment with colour combinations.

If you’re confident with colour and rearing to go, why not try something a little different in your space? A bold painted floor design can lift a room immeasurably, adding depth and introducing a unique talking point.

Painted rugs are also a great way to express your creative side and can add an element of fun to the room.
