09 Jul 2026

Celebrate nature’s tones and bring the outdoors in with these top product picks from the habitat team.

We’ve also paired them with complementary paints and wood stains so you can bring the whole look together!

Mid-century design is often rooted in earthy tones like browns, greens and mustard yellows. If you’re leaning into this style then the Sunflower Cushion from Città is the perfect addition to your home. Pair this with shades like Resene Hot Toddy, Brown Bramble, Dune and Lisbon Brown.

The modern, stylish design of the Lodi sofa is sure to make a statement in your living room. The gentle curves and dusty brown tones bring comfort and relaxation, especially when paired with charming whites like Resene Merino. To finish off your earthy colour scheme, consider a brown like Hurricane, dark stains like Colorwood English Walnut and deep greens like Log Cabin.

Rugs offer great comfort underfoot. They are ideal in winter months for a cosy feel but also help to give a room character and can create ‘zones’ in open-plan spaces. The earthy mangrove tone in this Anni Rug from Baya adds a natural, grounding quality, that pairs beautifully with neutrals like Resene Rice Cake, warm wood stains like Colorwood Oregon and Mahogany, and greens like Scrub.

Add earthy tones and texture to your walls with Resene Natural Wallcoverings III Wallpaper Collection 303556. This sophisticated grounding design brings warmth and a bit of the outdoors in. Add some dark accents with shades like Resene Element and Colorwood Deep Oak, and warm complementary tones like Quarter Spanish White and Double Drought.
