Meet the super neutrals


From the Resene colour inspiration – latest looks gallery

Turn a forgotten corner into a modern reading nook with super neutrals from Resene. The monochromatic tones in this space manage to keep it timeless yet still contemporary.

Cool whites and dramatic darks create a classic canvas that can be easily brought to life and adapted to different styles. Add sleek, bare timber or white-washed accessories with natural fibres in furniture and floor coverings to create a clean Scandi style, or furnish in bold jewel-toned golds, blues and reds for something more luxe and dramatic.

Here Resene Black White on the walls brightens up the corner, with a strong Resene Nero anchoring the scheme on the floor, and on the wall frame and the chest of drawers. Complimentary darks in Resene Half Gravel and Resene Delta on the peg stools add more interest for the eye, while complementary neutrals on the furniture and fittings tie it all together. Here the ladder is in Resene Double Merino, the plant pots are in Resene Double Merino, Resene Atmosphere and Resene Quarter Gravel. The drawer fronts cleverly use a combination of all three.

The overall result is to create a calming and beautiful colour scheme to relax into. Invest in a lush armchair and good literature and you’re good to go.

Other ways to adapt a monochromatic colour scheme are:
