Welcome – We've found ourselves in the midst of a unique time in history that has thrown us all for a curve.
Whatever our plans were, they’ve either been disrupted, cancelled, shifted or have evolved into something else entirely. With our whole world rocked by change, the driving factors of colour and design ‘trends’ as we’ve known them have also been turned on their head.
Our mission is now one of care; both for ourselves and our greater community – and we need colour trends, inspiration, ideas, rooms and spaces that embrace this. More than ever, there is a desire for soothing and calming spaces in our homes, but we also need spaces that are stimulating to spend time in – much more time, perhaps, than we might be used to.
Whether you’re looking to alleviate stress, work from home more comfortably, or just want to mix things up, this habitat plus is full of ideas for how you can shape or reshape your spaces in ways that suit you and your family’s lifestyle. To keep things simple, we’ve curated ideas into a range of moods so that no matter what your style or taste, you’re sure to find something in the following pages that could inspire everything from a quick weekend refresh to a total home makeover.
Happy decorating!

Oceans of light and airy white bedding have been layered with stormy blues that pull the colours of the art out into the room. The side table in Resene Fast Forward and the tiny vase in Resene Indian Ink play up the green undertones that are present in the darkest accent cushion while the vase in Resene Mystery and the lamp base in Resene Raindance bridge the gap in contrast between the darkest hues, the Resene Quarter Emerge batten wall and the Resene Quarter Concrete floor. Duvet set and cloud cushion from Ezibuy, pillowcases and throw from Allium Interiors, dark cushion from Adairs.
