Orange crush
Colour trends from NZ House and Garden magazine
Citrus goes bold and full bodied.
Citrus toned schemes are a perennial favourite but today’s interpretation takes on a rich, full-bodied flavour rather than the fresh, light look we’re used to. The strong orange rear wall of this dining room is balanced by accessories in softer, more muted shades. The room is fresh and appealing but escapes being too pretty and soft. It’s a citrus scheme that will transcend the seasons. Despite this deep orange being such a striking colour, it is surprisingly adaptable to a variety of interior styles.
Wall in Resene Twisted Sister, side wall in Resene Half Spanish White, floor in Resene Colorwood Natural stain, sideboard in Resene Swiss Caramel, pendant light in Resene Spanish White, chair in Resene Moccasin, short round vase in Resene Thumbs Up, small bowl in Resene Moonlight, tall angular vase in Resene Yuma and bowl on the table in Resene Crowdpleaser.
