Colour your dreams: How to style your bedroom with the new Resene Living duvet range

13 Apr 2023

The colours of your bedding and walls can greatly impact the overall look and feel of your bedroom. The right combination can create a harmonious and relaxing space, while the wrong pairing can clash and create an unsettling atmosphere. Your duvet cover often serves as the focal point of your room, so making this work with the wall colour can create a cohesive and coordinated look. With the new colourful Resene Living duvet cover range inspired by popular Resene colours, you’ll find it easy to create a stylish look for your bedroom.

Neutral oasis

The Resene Living Dulcet duvet cover set inspired by Resene Half Delta.

Neutral colours like taupe, grey, and white can have a calming effect on the mind and help to promote relaxation, which is important in a space designed for sleep. Neutrals also tend to have a broad appeal and can increase the resale value, which is particularly important for bedrooms, being a key selling point in any home.  

Neutrals like Resene Half Delta are versatile and can be easily paired with different colours and patterns. This makes it easy to change up the look of a bedroom without having to completely redecorate. Try pairing this stony grey with a versatile white like Resene Sea Fog, an urban dark grey like Resene Gravel, a cool white like Resene Half Black White, or even a grey with a slight hint of green like Resene Kangaroo.

Tranquil greens

Green is often associated with nature and the outdoors, which can help to bring a sense of freshness and vitality to a bedroom. This can be particularly appealing for those who live in urban environments and want to create a natural oasis in their home. The mossy green of Resene Scrub pairs well with rich expresso browns like Resene Brown Pod, and green edged neutrals like Resene Linen and Resene Merino.

Evidence suggests that green colours have a positive effect on mood and well-being due to the association with nature, which has been shown to have a restorative effect on the body and mind. Add some plants and greenery to top off this colour palette for an even more tranquil and serene feel.

Golden dreamscape

Orange, yellow and golden shades are bright and sunny colours that can evoke feelings of happiness, warmth, and positivity. These colours can help create a cheerful and energizing atmosphere in a bedroom, which may be particularly beneficial for people who struggle with low moods or energy levels.  

Particularly appealing during colder months, the rusty gold of Resene Pizza is warming and inviting, especially when paired with colours like Resene Half Milk Punch, a velvety whipped cream shade, or Resene Alabaster, a classic and timeless white. Try a complementary darker shade for smaller objects and décor, such as Resene Midnight Express, an intrepid dark blue that works wonders with golden yellow shades.
