Resene Quarter Thorndon Cream walls, designed by Susie Cropper. •  Pale blues: White and blue has been the basis of many sea-inspired or country schemes, which of course suits the local situation well. Think whitewashed furniture (use Resene Colorwood Whitewash), pale timber floors, icy or duck egg blue walls (for example Resene Quarter Frozen or Resene Duck Egg Blue), and crisp white trims and ceilings (go for Resene Alabaster). •  Botanic greens: Green-based whites are a wonderful foil for a land full of bush, pasture and gardens. And with plants being re-embraced as an indoor accessory, an interior based on white with punches of painted or ‘living’ green will create a calming, refreshing space. Some of the lovely verdant greens from the Resene collections include Resene Crusoe, Resene Groovy and Resene Parsley. If you are after a more subtle look, check out the more swampy or khaki greens.
