Dark, dramatic and cool


Decorating articles and inspiration from TrendsIdeas

A dark-toned feature wall in this master ensuite contrasts with the prevailing pale tones and brings balance with outlooks to an adjacent dark forest – the paint is Resene Nocturnal

No interior design choice ever stands alone, as everything is connected visually, including colour choices.


Tall, dark and handsome – this feature wall in a home by Masonry Design Solutions is finished in Resene Nocturnal, echoing the nearby forest tones.

This master suite, part of a new home designed by Masonry Design Solutions, is all about the views, and in particular the outlook to a large neighbouring forest. The master bathroom even steps outwards to maximise the verdant outlooks.

Colour swatch

To provide contrast to the suite’s broad use of white tones, a feature wall behind the bed is finished in Resene Nocturnal. Besides adding a two-tone aesthetic, the dark tones of Resene Nocturnal also offer a counterpoint to the deep green forest tones seen from the windows. The dark tone also accentuates the room’s generous height and its character gable ceiling.

Resene Nocturnal is also available as part of the Resene CoolColour range for exterior use. Darker paint colours can potentially be suntraps, soaking in the sun’s rays and placing undue stress on the coating and the substrate.

However, the versatile Resene Cool-Colour range allows darker colours to retain their good looks while at the same time reflecting the sun’s heat back away from them, keeping them cooler than their standard counterparts.
