Tone on tone is a popular interior trend right now, so why not go green on green for Christmas? In keeping with the greens of the Christmas tree, Vanessa has used a colour palette of Resene Middle Earth, Resene Yucca and Resene Envy for the tables, Resene Yucca on the floor and upper wall, and Resene Middle Earth on the lower wall.

Keep it looking plentiful under the Christmas tree by filling it up with painted gift boxes and Santa sacks. The calico sack was made by Vanessa and painted with a triangle design in Resene Middle Earth, Resene Yucca and Resene Permanent Green.

Give shelves a Christmas feel with mini trees painted in nature's hues. These are painted in Resene Gondwana, Resene Permanent Green and Resene Half Tea.

Wooden beads make great tree decorations - simply paint them in various colours, string and hang up. Vanessa has painted hers in Resene Half Tea, Resene Gondwana, Resene Yucca and Resene Envy.

Get two-in-one with these painted gift boxes, stacked on the shelf in the shape of a Christmas tree (complete with star on top). The boxes are painted in Resene Yucca, Resene Rivergum and Resene Envy.

If you're ready to go with something a bit bolder, make a statement Christmas shelf. Paint a triangle on the wall and then fit the shelf within it, painting it the same colour – Vanessa used Resene Middle Earth. The gift boxes are painted in Resene Yucca, Resene Envy and Resene Permanent Green.

Don't forget to leave a note for Santa! He'll be impressed with all your beautiful decorations. The tables are painted in Resene Middle Earth, Resene Yucca and Resene Envy. The planter is painted in Resene Yucca.
