I wanted to create an informal environment that emphasised the stunning bay view outside the big windows. To really capture the character of the home I kept the panelled ceiling but gave it a new colour of Resene Quarter Truffle to add some depth. The natural green tones of Resene Peace suit the room, and with the darker accents of Resene Thunder Road around the fireplace and window trims, it gives the space a youthful feel. The overall effect is of a relaxing haven. phone 027 656 6600 web www.candeladesign.co.nz Lampe Gras 210 Wall Lamp by DCW Editions Tessuti www.tessuti.co.nz 09 376 4802 Resene Cleopatra Bolster Cushion and Round Squab in Brass Velvet Tessuti www.tessuti.co.nz 09 376 4802 Resene Half Truffle Resene Peace
