Modern neutrals
Using a neutral colour scheme inside your home is a surefire way to add depth and sophistication to your space. These tones provide flexibility to personalise your home with layers of other neutral shades or to introduce accent colours. Best of all, the look only grows richer with your own textured styling and furnishing. A neutral backdrop to create your style. The contemporary and elegant neutral of Muriwai is a perfect match for the white Cardrona in this living room.
Seeing green
Feature green in your home to create areas of calm. Deep tones of green can create a dramatic backdrop for your room, while pastel tones can offer a relaxed and serene palette to help create your sanctuary. Softer shades of green may have a calming effect in large open spaces, particularly rooms with an abundance of natural light such as this kitchen, which features the refreshing green with a cool appeal of Willow Flat and the clean and modern Southern Alps.
Perfect blues
Known for their calming effect, soft shades of blue are perfect to increase the perception of space and enhance the contemporary styling in your home. The beauty of blue is its versatility. Blue can be teamed with a wide range of colours, shades, textures and finishes. Working with darker, inky blues creates a moody drama and sophistication such as the striking blue Mercer in this study that beautifully contrasts with the crisp white of Ōkārito.
Relaxing sanctuary
The simple charm of paler colours create a calming and nurturing palette. Combine naturals such as soft browns, warm greys and the lightest of pinks for a relaxing scheme conducive to taking time out.
Comfortable contrast
Delve into the worlds of whites, neutrals and greys to develop a scheme that works perfectly to bring calm to busy areas of your home.
It's all about balance
For an elegant style, keep your decorating simple and effective, but not too minimalist – it's all about balance. The layering of textiles and textural objects will create a beautifully elegant look. For a warm white try Manorburn Quarter or Cardrona.
Modern neutrals
Neutral colour schemes are both timeless and versatile, you can decide whether you choose to layer them with other neutral shades or add interesting accent colours. Best of all, a neutral backdrop gives you room to create your own style.
Arriving in style
Select your favourite shade of lilac and create a focal point from the moment your guest arrives. Pinks and lilacs can completely transform an all-white space – adding a sense of both playfulness and softness.
