Colour trends from NZ House and Garden magazine
Deep blue and green are a soothing and sophisticated pairing. Richly related...
Deep blue, jade green and aqua are often associated with peacefulness and a sense of calm. It makes sense that many decorators want to surround themselves with colours that counterbalance the sometimes breakneck pace of everyday life. Used together, these sea and nature-inspired colours form what is called a related scheme which is not only soothing but sophisticated. Copper and timber are used as accents to add life to the room, while a statement rug and velvet sofa add to the feeling of luxury. Switching out classic white trims for dark Resene shades is a trend that brings an unexpected element.
