pop

From habitat plus - decorating and colour trends 2017

Unexpected colour brightens your home.

Want more intensity? Pops of colour remain strong but now appear in unexpected ways. The colour doesn’t stop where the wall starts or finishes – the colour sets the space. Whether it’s bold table legs, a vertical stripe of colour from ceiling to floor or a block of colour peeking out of a cupboard, pops of colour are becoming more creatively placed. Art meets design, and both meet colour.

Bright yellow adds vibrancy to this monochromatic scheme

Bright yellow Resene Wild Thing adds vibrancy to this monochromatic scheme and a dramatic oversized noticeboard wall is created with a grid of Resene Blackboard Paint. The smaller noticeboard is in Resene Bright Spark and Resene Write-on Wall Paint.

Who said life had to be serious all the time? Indulge your inner creative streak and paint that optimistic colour.

The brighter the colour, the less you need

Paint-dipped coat hooks

Teaming solid bright colours with stains

Softening red with muted shades of red

Coat hooks: Resene Daredevil and Resene Sunflower peek out from some paint-dipped wooden coat hooks. The wall behind is Resene Gull Grey. Table: Solid bright colour teamed with stains. This is Resene Waterborne Woodsman Smokey Ash, Resene Tasman and Resene Riptide stencils, and a Resene Glorious bowl. Red interior: Red is an energetic colour that can be softened by, believe it or not, muted shades of red. The wall is in Resene Rapture, the shelf and glass (with pencils) are in Resene Glorious, the clipboard is in Resene Cashmere and the tall vase is in Resene Havoc.
