17 Dec 2025

This month in Favourite Finds we’re bringing you everything light, bright and colourful with our Summer Fever theme of product picks for your home. From blushing pinks to sunshine yellows and crisp blues, you’re sure to want to add these to your décor list for the relaxing summer season.

An occasional chair is a great way to add some character and colour into your space. Danske Møbler has an incredible selection of occasional chairs to suit any home colour scheme, but the Bella Armchair definitely gives off serene, summery vibes. Its gentle palette allows it to sit seamlessly in neutral spaces, as well as with nature-inspired hues. Think Resene Half Blanc, Quarter Linen, Half Mischka or even in darker spaces with shades like Resene Tuna:

Inspired by Annabel Taylor’s love of 1970s retro polaroids, her new retro mini-murals are the perfect wall art addition for your home, bach or workspace. They also exude a sense of summer and vibrancy, perfect for the warmer season. Available in medium and large, the murals are printed in NZ on paste the wall wallpaper, which means they are super easy to install and remove and come with easy instructions. There are also custom options available too, for special family photos, birthday and anniversary celebrations. Or just a special moment in your life you might have captured that you want to display! Order online at www.annabeltaylorhome.com.

When opting for wallpaper, murals or artwork on your walls, you can pull out colours from within the design to create a cohesive look in the rest of your space. For this mural, you could go for classic whites like Resene Half Rice Cake or Merino, or gentle blushing hues like Resene Sauvignon and Cupid:

The Lav Washable Floor Rug from Freedom Furniture is a stylish and practical addition to your home. Vintage Persian-inspired patterns with a distressed finish exude a rustic vibe. Its subtle silver tone creates a muted colour palette that can be incorporated into any décor style. This rug is made from polyester so it is durable and extremely soft underfoot and is ideal for high traffic areas, pet and kid friendly as it can be thrown into the washing machine. Use it either indoors or out, paired with cool summery hues like Resene Black White, Zircon, Heartbreaker or Ghost:

Inject colour and personality into your space with the Stripe Stool from Early Settler in orange and pink. Made from durable ceramic with a high gloss finish, this vibrant piece features hand-painted vertical stripes in playful, summery hues. Perfect for patios, living rooms or garden corners, it captures the essence of relaxed summer living with a fun and functional twist. Pair your Stripe Stool with accessories or furniture in Resene Rice Cake, Ebb, Karry and Touche:
