Colour trends from NZ House and Garden magazine
New ways to go green.
Going green – it’s a phrase with connotations that go well beyond colour, as we focus on sustainability and wellness. Breezy spring greens work as neutrals, and when layered in tonal shades make a room feel sun-drenched and energising. This bedroom takes the trend to maximum effect with graduated greens in broad stripes up the wall. The painted lattice pattern on the headboard echoes the rattan chair and the chunky natural fibres of the throw, carpet and cushions.


Striped feature wall in, from top, Resene Travertine, Resene Miso and Resene Nirvana. Lattice effect on headboard painted in Resene Fawn Green and Resene Miso. Skirting in Resene Fawn Green, small vase in Resene Alpaca, peg stool in Resene Coconut Cream and shelf in Resene China Ivory.
