Interiors – from Latitude magazine
When it comes to selecting the perfect paint colour for our homes it appears we have some things in common. Resene Colour Consultant Rebecca Long shares an insight into our favourite shades.
Study in Resene Mother Nature. Furniture and accessories in Resene Greywash, Resene Noir, Resene Peace, Resene Silver, Resene Silver Chalice, Resene Permanent Green, Resene Rivergum and Resene Family Tree.
The rebuild is continuing to bring energy into Christchurch. The eclectic mix of heritage and modern architecture, exquisite eateries and bustling centre is exciting and is influencing the way we decorate our homes, inside and out.
Greens are continuing to flourish, with sage, olive and emerald greens proving to be very popular. Resene Tana and Resene Half Linen pair beautifully with variants of Resene Tapa while deep, sophisticated emeralds such as Resene Atlas are adding power to statement walls.
Warm, sunset shades such as Resene Just Dance and Resene Soulful are bringing warmth and optimism to Canterbury all year long and remind us of long, warm summer nights at the beach.
Natural, neutral hues are always popular and often link to our natural, grounded surroundings. From the raw, warm tones of the Port Hills to the fresh, tranquil hues of our gentle bays, we are spoilt for choice.
Resene Half Thorndon Cream offers a fresh outlook to many homes while Resene Biscotti provides warmth and romance. Crisp whites such as Resene Sea Fog and Resene Merino effortlessly finish internal walls and joinery while earthy, grounded tones such Resene Napa and Resene Akaroa are popular on both internal and external walls.
