Biophilic bliss: Incorporating nature-inspired paint schemes and wallpapers into your home

Embrace the tranquillity of nature within the confines of your home with the enchanting concept of biophilic bliss. We’ll show you how to incorporate nature inspired Resene paint colours and wallpapers to bring the outdoors inside and create a harmonious living environment. Not only can this help you foster a deeper connection with the natural world, but it can also reduce stress, enhance well-being and increase energy and focus.

Do you love the beauty of botanicals? Here are some ideas to help you unleash the restorative magic of the natural world in every corner of your home:

Soothing satori

The calming nature of this wallpaper would look great in any room. Resene Wallpaper Collection 292151 creates a relaxing space, inviting you to grab a good book and cup of tea, or indulge in some much-needed quiet time and meditation.

Create a serene and refreshing sanctuary in your home that nurtures your body and soul. This wallpaper, from the Resene Sakura Wallpaper Collection, is a gentle option if you’re after a more subtle design. This bamboo print with earthy shades captures the essence of nature and the peacefulness of traditional Japanese design. Subtle enough for all four walls or use this wallpaper as a feature paired with shades like Resene Quarter Parchment, Resene Double Linen, Resene Bandicoot and Resene Clover.

 

Serene safari

In this nature inspired room, the wall is painted in Resene Bitter, floor in Resene Moon Mist, wallpaper feature in Resene Wallpaper Collection 37990-3, bedside table and rattan pendant in Resene Hemlock and tealight holder in Resene Cape Palliser.

The abundance of green in nature makes it a popular choice for indoor spaces, providing a sense of comfort and familiarity. Embracing biophilic design, a stunning display of tropical leaves cascading down like a wallpaper waterfall can transform a master bedroom into a remarkable sanctuary. To achieve this captivating floating wallpaper effect, start by placing a wide central piece of your selected Resene wallpaper behind the bed. Then, carefully cut out additional sections of the wallpaper pattern and affix them alongside the wallpaper, creating the illusion of magically floating edges.

Resene Wallpaper Collection 37990-3 from the Resene Change Is Good Wallpaper Collection is playful yet complex, with a pattern that offers something fresh each time you look at it. Pair this with other natural shades like Resene Double Tea, a full-bodied beige, Resene Camouflage, a dark green with brown depth, Resene Cashmere, a dusty coral pink, or Resene Wilderness, a verdant swamp green.  

 

Nature’s nook

This lush jade green space with its walls in Resene Mother Nature has the feel of a cool and charming forest retreat. The layers of green accessories throughout the room from the darker Resene Permanent Green and Resene Family Tree to the grey green of Resene Rivergum, all enhance that feeling.

An elegant and sophisticated green, almost royal in its hue, Resene Mother Nature is a gorgeous deep green that brings balance between seasons. This shade is both calming and energising, and if you’re a lover of darker shades, this one is for you. Try styling this colour with delicate and streamlined furniture, painted in shades like Resene Nero, Resene Midnight Moss and Resene Barely There to emphasise the drama of a green wall without weighing the space down.  

 

Canopy hideaway

This Amazon inspired feature wall, using Resene Wallpaper Collection 91250, turns this bedroom into a lush and soothing retreat at the end of a long day.

Stepping into this bedroom transports you to the serene beauty of a lush rainforest where you can imagine being in a cosy canopy bedroom listening to the sounds of the trees and the birds singing. The great thing about green is that it is a versatile colour that pairs well with so many shades. Go for accented colours that really make this wallpaper stand out, like Resene Green White, Resene Bone, Resene Kalgoorie Sands and Resene Apple Blossom.
