Dark coloured walls are supremely versatile and can be joined by many styles of furnishings and accessories to suit many tastes. We took one room, painted the walls in Resene Indian Ink and had it styled in three distinctive themes – contemporary, coastal and classic. The contemporary setting at the bottom mixes the Resene Indian Ink walls with aqua blues and silver. A mid- century sofa and glass-topped table painted in Resene Deep Teal lend an architectural feel. The picture frame is painted in Resene Silver Aluminium and the floor is in Resene Midwinter Mist. Watch what happens when you introduce plywood floors finished in Resene Colorwood Whitewash (far left). The look is coastal cool with light, slightly rustic furnishings. The peg stools are painted in Resene Wedgewood (darker) and Resene Eskimo and the magazine rack is in Resene Half Sea Fog. This more traditional, luxe setting goes classic and cosy (top right) with a Resene Persian Red painted coffee table and a small side table in Resene Negroni. The floor is painted in Resene Bastille.
