b'rich colour and texture create an opulent schemeInterior designer Joanne Richards suggests this alternative scheme:Using a friends artwork as inspiration, I wanted to create a room with classic pieces but in a quirky and interesting way. The Resene Blue Bayoux walls are restful and a good canvas for the more dramatic colours and textures of the furniture and accessories. Theres a sense of history and soul to the room. I particularly like the over-sized lights, and the paint effect floor to give personality. Its the sort of room that invites you to sit down, relax and chat. The floor is a paint effects floor by Opulent Effects, Nelson, using Resene Ash and Resene Half Joanna. phone03 545 8541 email joanne@jmrinteriordesign.co.nzReseneBlue BayouxLuxaflex Wooden Blinds (50mm), colour WhiteNew Zealand Window Shades www.nzwindowshades.co.nz 09 574 2200Insect cushionDecortex e famiglia www.decortexefamiglia.co.nz 09 303 3545ReseneHalo Gyro Chandelier AshReseneJohnston ImportsQuarter Rice Cakewww.ji.net.nz 03 317 8044Resene Half JoannaVienna Round Table CC Interiors illustration www.ccinteriors.co.nzReseneMalcolm White 09 589 1950 Whizz Bang Halo Hollywood Glamour Cannes two-seater in colour Claret + Glamour Benson Footstool in Duck Green Johnston Imports www.ji.net.nz 03 317 804427'
