Lending subtle depth and dimension to any room of the home, a textured wall — rendered in a neutral hue, is a sure-fire way to add intrigue to an otherwise simple space. Here, the experts at Resene show us how to best harness this enduring trend.

While a neutral palette may feel like an easy option to employ throughout the home, in reality, it takes careful consideration and a trained eye to ensure simple hues don’t leave a space feeling soulless and uninviting. With neutrals, understated elegance is the objective, and a carefully selected, serene palette will imbue your home with an appeal that feels both timeless and embracing. And, if you wish to take an ordinary space to extraordinary heights, a textured dimension applied to a neutral wall is sure to make an impact.

A soft ivory acts as the perfect foundation from which to begin, offering a subtle backdrop with gentle warmth. Here, this natural shade has been enlivened with the use of texture — a layer of Paint FX adding depth and dimension, and complimenting the contemporary interior details. Simpler than they seem to achieve — thanks, in large part, to Resene’s innovative Paint FX range, textured walls have the ability to enliven any room of the home.
