Sweet dreams

Colour trends from NZ House and Garden magazine

Let soft sandy tones lull you to sleep.

Subtle sandy tones accented with dreamy sea blue may be a Resene colour combination that evokes the magic of the Mediterranean but it’s a palette that transcends global boundaries and, of course, suits a country like ours that is surrounded by ocean. Effortless and timeless, shades of azure blue and sun-kissed ochre reflect the colours of the sea and sand, creating a sense of warmth and vitality. Add a limewashed look to your walls and natural fabrics like linen and cotton to form a serene bedroom sanctuary that works anywhere – in a city apartment, a suburban home or a coastal haven. It’s a look that can be given a seasonal twist – simply remove the blue accents to be left with a soft earthy tone-on-tone look more suited to winter. Or amp up the Mediterranean vibe with rustic timbers finished in Resene Colorwood wood stain and the texture of Resene Sandtex.
