Peachy pink and pomegranate red together could be confronting, but in this room, they ooze friendliness and warmth. The circular feature on the wall in Resene Dust Storm not only echoes the shape of the feature chair but cools down the bold Resene Pohutukawa on the walls and vase. The floor in Resene Double Rice Cake helps prevents the space from feeling overwhelming. The table is painted in Resene Foundry and tealight holder in Resene Dust Storm.
