Nature calls

Colour trends from NZ House and Garden magazine

Use the sweet subtle tones found in nature to inspire calming spaces. A delicate approach...

An interior that takes its design cues from nature doesn’t have to be overgrown with loud florals. Creating a quiet contemplative feel is easy with a palette of Resene green-tinged neutrals with subtle touches of acid green or sage green used as accents. Add texture with a rattan chair and a restrained foliage arrangement in a vase, along with a simple botanical print cushion. Take it to the next level, but in an elegant way, with a delicate mural on the wall – in this case, it depicts toetoe blowing in the wind. This is a look that echoes with both the freshness of spring and the dreaminess of summer.
