A character space gets drenched in green and grey for a seamless, calming mood.
In association with Resene.
Green and grey — two timeless hues that define livability. Rooted in nature, these colours weave a sense of calm and tranquillity into a space. The holistic use of colour, applied to both skirting boards and walls, creates a seamless, soothing effect.
Anchoring the scheme is the soft midtone Resene Off The Grid, with the deep, enigmatic Resene Exactly commanding attention on the foreground wall. The smooth flooring, painted Resene Tino Pai, provides contrast, while a plinth in Resene Top Notch adds a jewel-like pop. Layered green accents in textiles tie everything together and are an exemplar of how varying shades can coexist beautifully. The result is a space awash with colour, evoking the serenity of nature itself.
Stylist’s tip
For this seamless look, use Resene Lustacryl tinted to your wall colour to paint your skirting boards, as it’s more durable and can withstand knocks from feet or vacuum cleaners. When transitioning the colour around door frames, stop the paint at the inside edge of the door for a clean, crisp finish. And don’t forget the ceiling — painting it too can tie the whole space together beautifully.
