Aqua splashes in

From Habitat plus - decorating and colour trends 2020

Aqua is at the front edge of trending interior colours at the moment for walls, painted furniture, accents and accessories.

From bluer versions like Resene Freelance to greener shades like Resene Yowza, there is an aqua to suit all spaces.

Since aqua is often associated with peaceful and calming things – the ocean, clear skies and Mother Nature in general – it makes sense that we would want to surround ourselves with the colour that makes us feel at peace and reduces the stress of the breakneck pace of our everyday lives. Try aqua in a bathroom, bedroom or lounge.

While aqua always looks great with other blues, you can also try it with oranges, pinks or yellows such as Resene Twisted Sister, Resene Shilo or Resene Chorus Line.
