Which hue for you?

Soft greens and warm neutral colours combine in this relaxed coastal living room. The wall in Resene Half Villa White is a complementary neutral to the battens in Resene Bud. Olive trees and toetoe bring instant coastal cool, while layers of accessories in various neutral and green tones create an inviting natural environment for the Thomas Bina Blaine media console from Frobisher. 

In this scene, plants add instant appeal to the living space, softening the hard edges and adding texture. The silvery leaves of this faux olive tree by Pottery Barn at Ballantynes form a lacy screen that filters light and adds elegance. Adding a further natural element, this stunning large-format, timber-framed architectural photographic print of an Ivory Cliff will make a calming statement in any room, with natural, earthy hues. 

Create interesting vignettes on your living room surfaces with vases and ornaments of varying heights and textures. Layering tones of colour is harmonious on the eye. Here layers of sculptural pieces connect with their surroundings. 

Textural neutrals, like this slub stripe sweater sug from Ballantynes, are an easy, goes-with-anything layer for your floor. This hand-loomed wool rug weaves together thick and thin yarns to create a dimensional piece that’s as cosy as your favourite jumper.
