Embrace sea blues for a carefree season.
Nothing beats blue for a truly Kiwi beach-inspired Christmas. Create calming spaces washed in tranquil Resene sea tones at this often stressful time of the year. Blue is one of the most versatile and universally loved colours for decorating and in a nation where you are never far from the sea, blues that carry a hint of grey or green – let’s call them crossover blues – are particularly versatile. Team them with Resene Colorwood Whitewash flooring, wicker furniture and floaty fabrics for a Cape Cod look, or search out a more sophisticated style with charcoal accents, burnished metals and linen sofas.
Wall and floor in Resene Cut Glass, sideboard in Resene Kumutoto, tray coffee tables in Resene Teal Blue (large) and Resene Foam (small), vases, decorations and gifts in (dark to light) Resene Maestro, Resene Dauntless, Resene Hippie Blue, Resene Norwester, Resene Ziggurat, Resene Retreat, Resene Wishlist, Resene Scandal and Resene Foam.
