Fall into comfort

Colour trends from NZ House and Garden magazine

Hibernate to a dark enveloping space.

Just like a cosy sweater, a room painted in an earthy Resene brown will wrap you with warmth – the Resene colour collection has many, from blackened versions to leather-hued browns. Use sandy creams and dusky corals to balance their depth and to create a moody layered room to hibernate in this winter. Amp up the texture by using Resene FX Paint Effects Medium for a dappled effect on the walls – it’s like light shining through autumn leaves – and bring a vintage feel with fixtures in metal or brass paired with natural materials such as wood and soft linens. Use amber-toned lighting to enhance the warmth of your Resene paint palette and, of course, get the fireplace cranking. Bring in scented candles or diffusers to add the evocative smokiness of wood fires and the sweet aroma of spiced baked goods.
