Habitat plus - Vintage nostalgic

From habitat plus - discover your style

Light, fun and cluttery, this look is highly personalised with a whimsical colour palette of soft pastels.

Collections of old china, preserving jars and lace doilies sit atop upcycled dressers and sideboards. Repurposed objects are a feature with old metal funnels upended as candleholders, tea towels made into cushion covers and old bottles used as vases. Some Vintage Nostalgic personalities like to brighten their scheme with pops of bold yet clean colours like custard yellows, red, mint green and sky blue while others go for a careworn shabby chic look using faded blues, misty pinks and muted grey greens.

Colours to try: Resene Cest La Vie, Resene Snowy Mint, Resene Pattens Blue, Resene Blue Chalk.

You may also feel at home as a Country Rustic, Free Spirit or Arty Retro.
