How to create a clean, crisp, contemporary space using Resene’s neutral palette

When filling your interior with modern accents and sculptural furnishings, be sure to lay the right foundations first. Here, as always, we turn to Resene’s vast and varied range to uncover the colour palette best suited to a clean, contemporary space. 

While bold, monochromatic colours are certainly having a moment in interiors, never underestimate the power of a simple, neutral palette. Able to brighten a low-lit space or breathe life back into any interior that needs it, using paint in these tones will not only bring a subtle depth and dimension to a space, but is the perfect way to lay foundations for contemporary interior details to shine.

Here is an example of how Resene’s white and neutral shades can be strategically deployed to offer the kind of backdrop that will make your furniture stand out. Using a combination of Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen Kinship on the main wall, Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen Sea Fog on the back wall, and Resene Lustacryl Stepping Stone on the floor, stylist Amber Armitage has harnessed the power of Resene paint to expertly demonstrate the impact of a crisp, neutral palette in action.
