Make a statement with these colourful new releases from the Resene Wallpaper Collection.
Resene Wallpaper Collection AGA505
Décor and accessories that feature continuous line drawings have been having more than a moment over the past few years. Resene Wallpaper Collection AGA505 will be an easy sell for clients who are fans of the trend and also have a penchant for equally trendy greens and golden details. Try it with flooring and skirting boards in Resene Nero, furniture stained in Resene Colorwood Natural and artwork and accessories in Resene Wax Flower to let this statement wallpaper hog the limelight.
Resene Wallpaper Collection AGA603
From a distance, Resene Wallpaper Collection AGA603 resembles a mass of delicate swirls. But look closer, and you’ll see it actually resembles teeny tiny mosaic tiles or ornate ethnic beadwork. The complexity of the design makes an effective statement, while the earthy colour palette balances its intricacy and keeps the pattern from overwhelming – making this selection suitable for a wide range of purposes from chill yoga studios to decadent public bathrooms. Opt for flooring in Resene Rebel, skirting boards in Resene All Black and add a few minor accents in Resene Apple Blossom to play up this wallpaper’s nature-inspired palette.
Resene Wallpaper Collection AGA302
Whether it’s a home or a hospitality venue, there’s no question Resene Wallpaper Collection AGA302 would make for a striking base for a moody fitout. The design features an easy-to-fall-in-love-with floral motif in a truly up-to-the-minute colour palette that’ll please anyone looking for an exciting take on a classic theme. Pair this periwinkle and gold gem with warm neutrals like Resene Pendragon, Resene Redwood, Resene Blackjack and brass accents and prepare for your space to become the talk of the town.
Resene Wallpaper Collection FOL202
Although it has simpler shapes and a more succinct colour palette than some of the other bold new releases, Resene Wallpaper Collection FOL202 still makes a statement in its own right thanks to its eye-catching silver linework set over a terracotta red background. Combine it with rich materials, textures and colours such as accents in leather, rimu and travertine, timber furniture stained in Resene Colorwood Meranti, flooring and ceiling in Resene Biscotti and adjacent walls in Resene Wild West for a swanky commercial office space or residential interior.
Resene Wallpaper Collection FOL501
You don’t need large swathes of wall to put this densely packed geometric design to work, as even just a little of Resene Wallpaper Collection FOL501 will go a long way in making a big impact. While the optical effect reads primarily as black and white, we like the hints of emerald green and ochre yellow as inspiration for a rich accent palette. Use this design in an energising space such as a retail environment rather than one that demands concentration, like an office. Pair it with lower walls and a dado rail in Resene Indian Ink, timber flooring stained in Resene Colorwood Crowshead and accessorise with Resene Home Run.
Resene Wallpaper Collection FOL704
Resene Wallpaper Collection FOL701/FOL702
Channelling an era that was known for opulence, Resene Wallpaper Collection FOL704 is just the right mix of grandiose with its geometric and floral fusion design.
The large-scale pattern is ideal for spacious walls and high ceilings, but its neutral-based colour palette makes it a superb pairing for marble, brass and glossy black details. Try it with a ceiling in Resene Bison Hide, adjacent walls in Resene Quarter Bison Hide and window trims in Resene Foundry. Or dial up the drama with even bolder options such Resene Wallpaper Collection FOL701 or Resene Wallpaper Collection FOL702, which feature the same design in green/gold/black and blue/orange/purple colourways.
Resene Wallpaper Collection AGA402
The artwork of Austrian painter Gustav Klimt continues to be coveted more than a century after his death. Resene Wallpaper Collection AGA402 captures some of his signature flourishes like simplified florals, curvaceous linework and, of course, gilded details. Backed with a dramatic indigo, this jawdropping wallpaper design has glamour to spare. Whether you’re using it in a high-end hotel or restaurant, go all in with elegant finishes teamed with paint colours like Resene Cinder, Resene Ironsand and Resene Duck Egg Blue to make this design the star of the show.
