Habitat plus - Classic chic

It’s all about balance and harmony. Even when using quite a few accessories and pieces of furniture, the limited number of colours used will make the space appear elegant and restful. It’s a look that can be extremely detailed without being overly attention-grabbing, and which uses a high proportion of natural materials such as linen, cotton, stone, marble and timber. A current look that fits this personality is ‘New Nordic’ or ‘Scandi’ with its white walls, black accents, pale timbers and natural materials.

Colours to try: Resene Bastille, Resene Quarter Alabaster, Resene Rice Cake, Resene Truffle, Resene Half Tea.

You may also feel at home as a New Nordic, Luxe Lover or Traditionalist.
