Soft greens and beiges make a soothing neutral space feel warm and welcoming. Resene Double Sisal on the wall and Resene Parchment on the floor are the perfect backdrop to gentle pops of moss green, such as Resene Scrub, on the side table, spicy mustard brown and velvety grey, such as Resene Korma (right) and Resene Triple Ash (left) on the vases.

Resene Rhino is a lovely smoky grey blue, it pairs effortlessly with even darker shades of blue, such as Resene Indian Ink (on the coffee table) and pops with golden mustards like Resene Cleopatra on the vase (at right) and cushion and leathery tans like Resene Papier Mache.

Resene Brandy Rose is a mild sandalwood pink, when paired with a warm terracotta like Resene Crail it creates a rosy tonal look. In this entrance, the redder terracotta of Resene Apple Blossom on the wall, the soft apricot rose of Resene Wax Flower on the floor and Resene Sebedee on the door create a similar tone-on-tone look.

The soft grey green of Resene Pewter makes it the perfect candidate for a wall colour – especially in restful spaces. Warm beige, like Resene Coral (similar to the dusty hues in the dried hydrangea) is a balancing mid-tone next to Resene Poured Milk on the nesting tables. Pops of green such as Resene Waiouru on the round bowl and smoky blue on the plate in Resene Bermuda Grey, echo this earthy, calming vibe.

Resene Half Spanish White is another versatile neutral to be used throughout an interior or exterior. It has a warmer, creamier tone than the stark off-white of Resene White Pointer. In this room the softer neutral shades of Resene Half Spanish White (on the pot plant), Resene Artisan (on the neo-classical plant stand), Resene Napa (on the chairs) and Resene Eighth Stonewashed (on the sideboard) are given a fresh revive with the bright white on the table, similar to Resene Alabaster.

Resene Rivergum is a beautiful mid-grey green. Other hues in this colour tone that can be used alongside it for a tonal look are the softer hue of Resene Pewter (top half of the wall) and the muddier green of Resene Karaka (bottom half of the wall). Resene Bud on the coffee table and Resene Soothe on the bookshelf provide neutral highlights and accessories in Resene Just Dance provide a pop of warm pink.

Resene Just Dance pops as a feature wall in this desert-chic lounge. When paired with a more muted pink, Resene Sorbet (far left wall), and a warm white on the floor (Resene Poured Milk), it’s not too overpowering. The round jute coffee table painted in Resene Sunbaked and the vases painted in Resene Irresistible (tall) and Resene Rose Gold (small) contribute to the warm vibrancy of this desert sunset palette.
