Dark and stormy
A bedroom is a room for so much more than sleeping in, so sail away with these colour and mood ideas from Resene.
MOODBOARD Background in Resene Half Chicago with A4 drawdown paint swatches (clockwise from top left) in Resene Remember Me, Resene White Island, Resene King Tide, Resene Wishing Well and Resene Poured Milk. The hexagon vase is in Resene Wishing Well and the skinny vase is in Resene Remember Me.
Moody navy blues that look like they came straight out of the Mariana Trench, such as Resene Twilight Zone, Resene Bewitched, Resene Wishing Well and Resene Submerge are making waves in the interior design world. When paired up with equally dark and stormy greys like Resene Dark Web, Resene Suits and Resene Quarter Bokara Grey, you can build up a deeply layered look – especially in a bedroom. If done right, the result is sure to make you want to dive right into bed and enjoy a long sleep-in.
Cloudy greys and moody blues are layered sky high in this sophisticated master bedroom, while brass details and an ochre velvet chair provide a touch of warmth to balance out this otherwise cool space – creating the perfect place to seek shelter from the stresses of busy everyday life.
The Resene White Island walls bring levity to the dark tongue-and-groove panelling in Resene Indian Ink and keep it from being overpowering. The flooring is in Resene Half Chicago – a dusty grey – while the bedside table looks bold in Resene Wishing Well. The small angular vase is also painted in Resene Wishing Well, the white vases are in Resene Poured Milk and the tall blue vase is in Resene Meditation. Pile on charcoal-on-navy-on-charcoal bedding and finish with a soft, low-pile rug in steel blue.
If an ochre-coloured accent chair isn’t for you, try one in an equally vibrant contrasting colour like aqua or coral.
