escape

From habitat plus - decorating and colour trends 2017

Time to escape... outdoors.

Just as we’re bringing the outdoors in with house plants, natural textures and botanic greens, we’re also taking our indoor spaces outdoors. Outdoor rooms have come far from the exposed old timber table and chairs. Today, we luxuriate in outdoor fireplaces, sofas and chairs, pizza ovens and built-in barbecues, outdoor showers, electronic louvres, day beds piled high with cushions and more.

We’ve expanded our colour palette, too. Green and brown are not the only colours in nature. Think of the splendour of sunsets and sunrises, the bright blooms of a spring garden.

Resene colours

• Resene Ruby Tuesday is a tender apricot orange, good on any day of the week. Try Ruby Tuesday with watery cerulean blues, summer greens or soft orange reds, such as Resene Sea Crest, Resene Freelance or Resene Fugitive.

• Resene Vitality is a soft edged bright green, alive with fun and flamboyance. Try Resene Vitality with clear oranges, pastel chartreuses or sea blues, such as Resene Energise, Resene Fresh or Resene Discover.
