Welcome

It's no wonder we are all falling for green when eco-friendliness, wellbeing and biophilic design continue to capture our consciences.

Likewise, rich earthy tones are coming to the fore as we seek to ground ourselves. We are lapping up soft, soothing peachy pinks when the world beyond our walls is full of digital chatter and often lurid commercial messages.

When it comes to decorating colour choices, we appear to be entering a phase of careful consideration rather than one of bold gestures. Colours are weathered and subtle; they whisper rather than shout. We're looking for nuances, for example, taking dark walls and giving them a brooding undercurrent of colour. It's intriguing, not in-your-face.

Reflecting all and more of these current trends, the Resene The Range fashion colours showcases colours to not only enjoy today but to take us into the future. It's a rich resource of the most current colours, and available at your local Resene ColorShop or reseller.

Happy decorating!
