To give the room more options I enclosed the left wall and repositioned the heat pump to make the back windows larger. Resene Wallpaper Collection M37914 gives the left wall interest and I have carried the green and brown tones throughout the room. The nature-inspired colour palette features Resene Linen, an earthy, green neutral and green-toned cream Resene Eighth Thorndon Cream on the ceiling, window trims and skirtings.
