Sandy hues lend a carefree summer style.
A permanent beach holiday may not be an option for many of us but bringing golden Resene tones into an outdoor living space can create an evocative space that channels the appeal of bach life at home. Earthy yellows and tea-stain browns are experiencing a renaissance in interior design. Reminiscent of natural landscapes and the warmth of the sun, these sandy hues are comforting yet elegant, and can be used to create a tonal colour scheme that has more character and depth than the usual cream-on-cream approach but without overwhelming the senses. It’s a family of colours that’s beautifully enhanced with the use of Resene Woodsman stained timber, organic fibres and finishes such as linen, hessian, rope and cane, which will also help to root your outdoor living space or courtyard in its coastal, carefree aspirations.


Board-and-batten wall in Resene Half Putty, trellis screen and stool in Resene Triple Pearl Lusta, deck in Resene Woodsman Uluru stain and chair in Resene Teak. Accessories; Kmart, Adairs, H&M Home.
