Beyond the shore: Coastal chic with Resene paints and wallpapers

If you dream of waking up to the gentle sound of waves and the soothing scent of the sea, why not bring some coastal charm into your home? Resene paints and wallpapers offer a versatile and stylish way to achieve the tranquil beauty of coastal living right within your four walls. Let’s take a look at five design ideas that capture the essence of the seaside in your home.

Seaside retreat

Get a chic rustic look with Resene Wallpaper Collection A60002.

Create a serene oasis reminiscent of a beach escape with this smudge effect Resene wallpaper. Paired with warm wooden flooring, a cosy jute rug and natural décor like baskets, ceramics, driftwood and seashells, this combination brings coastal ambiance into your living space. The subtle coastal hues on the walls offer a soft and inviting backdrop, creating a calming environment.

Pair this with whites like Resene Sea Fog and Resene Half Merino for contemporary, clean feel or gentle taupe like Resene Triple Blanc and Resene Tea for a warmer, rustic look.

Classic coast

For a touch of sophistication, opt for a predominantly white room with gold, sandy and black shaded furnishings. Resene's crisp white tones create a canvas for other accents and décor to shine. Whatever coastal accessories you have, the result will be a luxurious coastal haven that exudes elegance and simplicity, reminiscent of sun-kissed shores. Try heading to the dunes to collect some toetoe, dried grasses or shells to add to the look. Use stain wash finishes from the Resene Colorwood We Speak Beach to add a soft wash of colour to timber.

For cooler whites, try Resene Half House White, Resene Double Alabaster and Resene Black White. For warmer whites, try Resene Rice Cake, Resene Half Thorndon Cream and Resene Eighth Spanish White.

Dreaming beach

Bring the coast to your bedroom with a painted feature wall or mural in all the shades of a summer’s day at the beach. These calming colours mimic the seaside landscape, creating a tranquil and dreamy atmosphere. Complement your wall with beach-inspired decor, like these straw hats and some large shells. Remember, murals don't need to be literal. You can create a beachy design that will make you feel like you are on holiday year-round with an abstract artwork created by layering strips of paint applied using a sponge roller.

For a gentle pastel beach palette, try shades like Resene Rum Swizzle, Resene Anglaise, Resene Pattens Blue and Resene Half Sail.

Or for a darker and more sophisticated palette, try shades like Resene Coast, Resene Lynchpin, Resene Brown Sugar and Resene Kalgoorie Sands.

Bure bliss

Keep it simple with a tranquil shade like Resene Wallpaper Collection 379876_5.

Transform your bedroom into an oceanic haven with this blue-green textured wallpaper. Paired with a cane chair and pastel bedding, this combination evokes the feeling of a seaside cabin. The slightly textured Resene wallpaper adds depth and interest to the space, while the pastel tones provide a soothing and relaxing atmosphere. When choosing a brighter colour for your walls, try to keep décor simple, and choose colours that complement your walls, like these peachy and white fabrics.

Opt for natural looking floors and furniture with wood stain wash finishes like Resene Colorwood tinted to Resene Breathe Easy, Resene Rock Salt, Resene Whitewash or Resene Becalm.

Nature's palette

Bring the outdoors in with a painted mural wall featuring natural tones of smudged blues and browns. With numerous Resene wood stains and thousands of Resene paint colours, you can recreate the beauty and everchanging colours of coastal landscapes on your walls. Complete the look with decor in matching shades to achieve a harmonious and nature-inspired ambiance.

Did you know Resene has coloured wood stains? Try a bold blue like Resene Apollo Blue, a gorgeous green like Resene Emerald Green or a sunset orange like Resene Satin Orange.

Whether you prefer a subtle sandy retreat or a vibrant beach-inspired bedroom, there is a huge range of Resene colours and textures to bring your coastal dreams to life. Embrace the tranquility of the seaside and create a home that reflects the elegance and charm of coastal living.
