13 Nov 2024

Welcome to Favourite Finds, where we bring you the best in home design to inspire you each month with curated picks to help you bring together a décor look for your home.

This month’s theme, Bold and Beautiful, celebrates the power of striking patterns, rich textures and vivid hues. Whether you're looking to transform a room with statement pieces or add vibrant touches to elevate your space, these finds are here to help you make a lasting impression.

Let’s dive in and discover how bold design choices can create a unique and unforgettable aesthetic in your home.

Tutti Frutti

Get woven into the world of Tutti Studio. Passionately dreamt up in New Zealand, Tutti Studio excites and inspires extraordinary for everyone, with playful textiles that have colour and creativity spun into every thread. Whether you’re adding more colour to a maximalist theme or simply want to add a pop of colour into your neutral design, this is the perfect bold choice for your home.

Choose wallpapers and paint colours that pair well with Tutti Studio’s vibrant fabrics, like Resene Wallpaper Collection 537345, Resene Wallpaper Collection A55802, Resene Green Smoke and Resene Scrumptious.

Daring drapes

Add a bold and dramatic touch to any room with the Resene Curtain Collection. The Prosper design is a bold and dynamic pattern that uses Art Deco shapes and clever repeat systems to create a statement.

Pair this with a deep grey blue like Resene Atomic, neutrals like Resene Sea Fog and Resene Half Silver Chalice, and a pop of yellow on accessories with Resene Ipanema. 

Cosy curves

Reminiscent of the maximalist furniture trends of the 70s and 80s, the Monte 4.5 Seater with LHF Curved Chaise undoubtedly commands attention as a focal masterpiece. In a richly textured burnt ochre hue from nature's autumnal palette, the Monte evokes a sense of calm and relaxation from every sculptural curve, inviting you to dive into its inviting embrace and experience cocooning comfort like never before.

This design would work well with a wall mural in earthy tones like Resene Wallpaper Collection 363678, a darker design like Resene Wallpaper Collection 2008-149-03, or warm and inviting paint colours like Resene Cashmere and Resene Sand.

An artisan touch

Bring a distinctive and brilliant feel to your home with Resene Construction Systems. Get bespoke hand applied plaster finishes in your favourite Resene colours. In this space, ROCKCOTE Marrakesh-coloured lime plaster, painted in Resene Drought, provides texture and interest. ROCKCOTE Venetian-Polished lime plaster, painted in Resene Black, adds depth to the back wall. The bold décor choices make this a bold and beautiful choice for a living room, bedroom or home office.

To add to a modern industrial theme, try adding wallpaper designs that mimic other natural materials like wood and stone – Resene Wallpaper Design 33959 or 537031 – along with shades like Resene Eighth Stonehenge and Resene Zeus.

Matte is more

COLORSTEEL® Matte reflects a truly modern style – an understated way of standing out. TidalDrift® Matte (featured above) is one of three colours available, with an end result that treads the line between urban sophistication and a refined industrial palette, pairing well with neutral colours and industrial finishes.

To create a stunning contrast against a dark roof, try a white like Resene Sea Fog on your exterior walls, or an even darker shade like Resene Foundry. Earthy, ashy toned wood stains will also create a timeless feel in Resene Smokey Ash and Resene Tiri.

Bold hues

If you’re after some bold yet refined colour choice, try Resene Japonica, Resene Mexican Red, Resene Azure and Resene Guru.  

With these bold and beautiful finds, your home can become a space that truly reflects your personality, style and creativity. Head to your local Resene ColorShop for more advice or Ask a Colour Resene Expert online for help with your home design.
