Soul soothers

Colour trends from NZ House and Garden magazine

Calming colours are a tonic in a hectic world.

In an increasingly challenging and uncertain world, we need very personal spaces where we can rest and recuperate, enveloped in calming Resene colours and subtle textures. Soul-soothing colours such as seashell pinks paired with bleached sand tones provide a cocoon of calm in any room but especially so in bedrooms.

To add to such a gentle and simple scheme, texture is important. Celebrate the grain and texture of wooden surfaces to bring subtle, natural elegance to any room, such as this headboard and bedhead wall. Resene has a range of wood stains for both interior and exterior use, along with a new Resene Colorwood We Speak Beach collection, which features six relaxing coastal hues that will take you from sea to shore with colours including soft blue, sandy hues and a blackened seaweed tone.
