Resene Elderflower Strong, true red goes casual with a global vibe Pick a theme and let red dominate the room. Here, the boldness of the colour is balanced by natural textures for an exotic Pasifika look... by way of Morocco. No longer consigned to feature walls from the 1990s, modern reds can be layered for a dramatic but inviting and cosy look – this room has Resene Dynamite on the lower wall and Resene Poppy on the upper wall. Blue is used to cool the room with a stencilled floor and side table. A stylish rattan chair adds lightness and simplicity, without sacrificing style and elegance. The lighter accessories such as the cotton stems, cream flowers and cream bowl, as well as a wine box and other wooden accessories, accentuate the natural elements. With all of these factors combined, this is a perfect look for the casual lifestyle of a bach or any home with an easy flow to the outdoors.
