b'a sophisticated and restful scheme Julie Rees of Sojo Design suggests this alternative scheme:This formal lounge has been given a sophisticated yet restful look with lots of interest introducedthroughcolour,textureandform.Itsalookthatsuitsthecharacter framework of the room, while introducing new elements.Resene Half Innocence from the Resene The Range fashion colours fandeck stood out to me for its depth and contrasts nicely with Resene Wan White on the woodwork and the detailed ceiling. The furniture layout is largely unchanged but the sofa and chairs are set straight within the space, rather than angled. The new pieces have a slightly more contemporary and modern edge, with some interesting design and form. A heavily textured rug with neutral greys, whites and blacks defines the space and adds some beautiful texture beneath the coffee table, which floats between the seats. mobile021 823 743 emailjulie@sojodesign.co.nzReseneBittersweetShutters paintedResene Wan White Sante Fewww.santafeshutters.co.nz 0508 274 888 Halo Rod Pendant Chandelier, mediumJohnstone Imports www.ji.net.nz 03 317 8044ReseneWan White Resene Bruno SofaHalf InnocenceLounge Designwww.loungedesign.co.nz09 527 8939 Resenecovered in Barbarian fabric, Triple Rakaiacolour Silver illustration James Dunlop Resene Malcolm White www.jamesdunlop.co.nz BlackjackUrban XP Milky Way RugSignature Rugs www.signaturerugs.co.nz41'
