Create a tasty interior with warm cinnamon shades. Keep it cosy...

Toasty tones of cinnamon, nutmeg, turmeric and cardamom have arrived in perfect time for winter. As part of the trend towards warm browns and terracottas, these Resene hues add visual warmth to a room along with a sense of optimism and energy. Earthy colours suit a more minimal approach with simple shapes for furniture and ornaments, and less clutter for a zen-like feel or a look that has eco rustic leanings. Use globally inspired elements like a kilim rug and plenty of woven textures for a sophisticated yet laid-back look. Rooms decorated entirely in warm colours look dramatic but adding cooler toned accents relieves the intensity.
