Meet the bold new interior trend that has us harbouring a rose-tinted outlook on the season ahead.
In an audacious move, it seems that the tonal trends have shifted from the cooler end of the spectrum (where hues of blue and green sit), to the warmer — resulting in a proliferation of a red and pink colour palette in the home.
Asking why we shouldn’t have a red feature wall in our living room, and encouraging us to create unique, tonal spaces, this trend is certainly not for the faint of heart, which is why we turned to the experts at Resene for guidance on how to execute it properly.
Here, the colour professionals suggest using tones like Resene Pioneer Red and Resene Awaken (both pictured in the brand’s SpaceCote Flat paint) to cultivate an inviting, warm and modern ambience. Pair with neutral colours like Resene Athena, and alongside timber floors and furnishings to make the vibrant palette feel more tactile and liveable.
