Fade to grey and blue

Colour trends from NZ House and Garden magazine

Blue and grey stay pale and interesting.

Weathered blues, greys and whitewashed plywood create a soothing space to relax as we seek to escape the hectic world beyond the front door. These soothing colours are easy to use and work superbly as neutrals. Washed, weathered, subtle, smoky and shadowy. There’s a palette of pale blues and greys that seems to transcend fashions. These calming colours speak softly rather than shout. In a land where the sea is never far away, these colours hold an intrinsic nostalgic pull.
