Daring to go dark

Colour trends from NZ House and Garden magazine

Dark blue is the new black. The rise of deep blue...

Dark blue is the new black, finding its way into bedrooms and living areas. Keeping it charming, cosy and oh-so-modern in this strong blue and grey look, this living room complements a feature wall in Resene Indian Ink, Resene Athens Grey and Resene Atmosphere, with floors painted in Resene Stack. While triangles are one of the simplest feature wall effects, the structure and colours of these triangles keeps it looking on trend.
