Decorating and colour trends 2017, habitat plus

Welcome – it’s time to make a colour connection.

What colours will be embraced in our homes during the next few years? What decorating directions will emerge? Trends don’t happen overnight. They gestate over many months, even years and are influenced by many things.

Colour experts predict our palettes years in advance but how we integrate those into our own homes is very individual.

We’re here to help. The Range fashion colours fandeck from Resene includes the latest paint colours. That doesn’t mean you have to completely reinvent your home every year or two. Think of the colours and trends as fresh inspiration that simply add to your options.

As paint technology has developed, we have been blessed with a growing rainbow of colour choice. Our eyes have learnt to appreciate increasingly subtle nuances. What once was off-white, may now be beige, greige, cream or chalk. Colours are deeper and complex, layered with subtle undertones.

As our knowledge of colour grows, so too does our confidence to use and experiment with the subtleties and power of colour.

Enjoy your colour journey and take your time to choose colours you love.

Happy decorating!
