Upgrade your sleep space with zones in honey-ish hues and other shades, plus shapes designed to soothe.

– This bedroom set-up shows how colour-blocking can be used to differentiate zones within a room. We’ve designated a spot for skincare rituals, used a restful hue to lead into the sleep space and added another to create a moment in a corner. Against a backdrop of neutral Resene Double Merino, our contrasting paint trio of Resene Oak, Resene Tasman and Resene Hampton work cohesively together thanks to their earthy base tones.
– To DIY this effect, sketch a plan on paper for colour blocks and moulding that’ll frame or work alongside your décor. Then, use a tape measure, pencil and level to draw outlines on your walls. Mask them with painter’s tape (available from Resene ColorShops), then apply two coats of your chosen paints inside the tape, allowing them to dry between coats. Once dry, remove the tape.
– Resene Colorwood in rich Resene Dark Ebony makes the moulding stand out and grounds the look on the floor. To replicate this moulding, measure and cut your timber to fit your colour-blocked shapes, then sand. Stain and allow to dry before adding a second coat if needed (the more coats, the darker the finish) and a topcoat of Resene Qristal Clear. When dry, nail them to the wall, using a level to ensure they’re straight.
– Incorporating organic and rounded shapes will soften the look and set a soothing mood. For a cute-as-a-button headrest, we upholstered a circular canvas, stuffed it with recycled filling and mounted it to the wall.

Stylist’s tip
This Resene Colorwood stain allows the timber’s grain to show through, adding visual texture you can amplify with furniture in the same vein.
