A neutral and natural scheme using a monochromatic backdrop and shots of warm terracotta gives this room a welcoming autumnal feel. Texture is a key element with a macramé wall hanging with a pattern picked out in paint – Resene Moroccan Spice. A handy desk area sits to one side with a chair also painted in Resene Moroccan Spice, while the coat stand is in Resene Bounty, and the plant pots are in Resene Felix and Resene Miso. The rear wall is in Resene Nocturnal and the side wall is in Resene Double Alabaster.

The rich traditional tones of jade green and red help create a moody luxe room when teamed with the charcoal wall and some early Hollywood-style accessories. An Art Deco style drinks trolley is painted in lavender Resene Marionette to lighten the mood and add a dash of fun. Pop a shutter against the wall as a decorative element, painted in Resene Lonestar, and a side table for the cocktail glasses, painted in Resene Palm Green.

Soft, gelato shades suit the sweet country style used for this room where old crates are used as coffee tables and painted in one coat for a rustic look in Resene Sazerac and Resene Cut Glass. An old ladder is painted in Resene Moonbeam and pressed into service as a decorative object, and a shelf. The Resene Nocturnal wall is joined by a side wall in Resene Poet, and vases are painted in Resene Poet and Resene Cut Glass.

The typical kiwi bach was the inspiration for this room, using a mix of colours from soft sea blue to bright primary colours like yellow and cobalt blue to represent the way bach interiors are often an organic collection of clashing pieces and colour. The Resene Nocturnal wall provides a quiet, neutral backdrop for the range of colours, and is joined by a side wall in Resene Ashanti and a plywood floor finished in Resene Colorwood Whitewash.

An old retro sideboard has been given an eye-catching overhaul in Resene Space Cadet (blue) and Resene Gorse (yellow), while the second-hand coffee tables are in the softer shades of Resene Sakura (pink) and Resene Ashanti (aqua). The plant pots are in Resene Nocturnal and Resene Sakura.
