Navy blue is definitely one of this season’s stand-out trends. Resene Double Alabaster is my go-to colour for ceilings and trim as it has a slight warmth. It’s the perfect white in my opinion. Using Resene Double Alabaster on the trim and fireplace gives a crispness to the scheme and helps define the character details. I also took my colour inspiration from the Glenn Jones artwork hung above the fireplace. The David Trubridge pendant is certainly beautiful during the day but I especially love how at night it creates patterns on the dark walls, adding more glamour to the room. The furniture I have selected gives the room a retro modern look. The armchairs give a tonal contrast to the walls and the touches of gold give the room elegance and sophistication. email sarah.gregory@resene.co.nz
