Habitat plus - Beach casual

If the smell of the sea and the feel of sand between your toes sends you into raptures, you may be a Beach Casual.

Light and breezy, the basis of this palette is drawn from the colours and chalky yet luminous textures of sea, sand, blue sky and shells. It murmurs ‘summer’ all year round. Natural textures and materials rule, with jute, sea grass, driftwood, baskets and canvas. Overlaid onto that, the Beach Casual can go two ways: towards the Cape Cod style that’s awash with painted wicker, whitewashed timber and egg-shell blue walls, or for a surfie retro bach feel with an old longboard on the walls, mismatched Crown Lynn pottery in the cupboards, and bright beach-towel accent colours in sunny yellow, cheery red and azure blue.

Colours to try: Resene Spindle, Resene Foam, Resene Sea Nymph, Resene Golden Sand, Resene Haystack, Resene Seeker, Resene Meltwater.

You may also feel at home as a Global Traveller, Arty Retro, New Nordic or Country Rustic.
