This month in our Favourite Finds series, we’ve picked out some of our most-loved products and paired them with the perfect Resene hues, so you can create a cohesive space that you love. We think you’ll love these cosy, colourful picks leading into the cooler months.

Comfy blankets

The Waffle Wool Blanket from Città brings texture to your space. Made with 100% New Zealand wool, it features an oversized plaid design in a waffle weave giving a highly textural finish. This multi-coloured design brings contemporary autumnal shades into your home, which you can find in hues like Resene Hot Toddy, Spitfire, Middle Earth and Takaka:

Snug seating

If you’re looking for a new sofa, then the Irvine 3 Seater Sofa from Early Settler in the cosy shade of Ember might be your next end-of-day spot to relax in. Burnt oranges are trending in home design, and while especially snug for autumn and winter, this shade is great for all year round too, especially when paired with neutrals like Resene White Pointer, Nero, and stains like Resene Colorwood English Walnut, or try a similar shade on accessories like Chelsea Gem:

Cosy cushions

The Resene Living range has been carefully designed to complement the Resene range of paint colours and includes duvet covers, cushions and towels to help you co-ordinate your home. Available now at Briscoes, the Resene Ryka cushion (left) and Marzie cushion (right) come in various colourways to suit your home and style. Pair these with the colours they are inspired by – Resene Black and Salsa – on other accessories in your home, or complementary hues like Olive Green and St Kilda:

Rug up

A wool rug is the perfect addition to any home during the warmer months, or just if you need some added colour and texture. The Mira Rug in Olive from Target brings an organic, calming presence into any room. Its carved design adds gentle movement and visual interest, uplifting the atmosphere of living rooms, bedrooms, and open-plan spaces with ease. It also has a timeless look that pairs effortlessly with earthy palettes, natural textures and modern New Zealand homes. Pair this with a similar hue in Resene Olive Green or complementary shade like Linen, Half Aubergine or Resene Colorwood Meranti:

Warm up with wallpaper

Wallpapers come in many shapes and forms, and Resene Botanica Wallpaper Collection 33960 offers a wood panelled look – without the use of real wood that is. Paired with dark hues it creates a cosy, cocooning and welcoming space for winter, and paired with light neutrals it will create a warm, modern, coastal vibe. Pair this wallpaper with shades like Resene Foundry, Bokara Grey, Rice Cake or Blanc:
