Take a Seat: Resene
Weathered blues and whitewashed plywood create a soothing space to relax and read as we seek to escape the hectic world beyond the front door. This space has a soft, beachy, eco vibe that would work with any interior from the bach or tiny home to a renovated mid-century home or new build. […]
New Neutrals: Resene
Our concept of what a neutral colour looks like is changing. No longer are we talking only about whites, creams, beiges and greys – some surprising new neutrals are in the mix. Among them are a range of terracotta shades, from subtle apricot tones all the way through to sun-baked clay. While not […]
Desert Diamond
Not too long ago, this gorgeous mellow-toned room would likely have been awash in millennial pinks, but there’s a subtle shift away from that side of the spectrum into the trendy tones of peaches and nudes. Why use just one peach or nude tone when you can use a few by way of […]

Since being made famous by Marie Antoinette nearly 300 years ago, we’re not sure there’s any colour that’s been quite as pervasive in the interior design world as duck egg blue. The sky’s the limit when […]
A study in contrast

The key is finding the right tones that work together – instead of competing with one another – and then working in a mix of darker and lighter shades. In this space, […]
