This minimalist look layers shades of grey in a variety of textures to create a sense of cool Scandinavian-style comfort. Feature battens in the dark grey of Resene Boris on the lighter shade of Resene Credence frame this pared-back neutral nook where the Kelly Hoppen Coco Accent Chair from Frobisher sits amongst a curated collection of curved steel, ceramic, glass and willow.

Curved appeal 

This curved side table is a beautiful and timeless piece that combines a sculptural and handcrafted aesthetic. The curved base is ideal for the books that match this tonal setting and reveal the Resene Credence wall.

Neutral light

The transparency of the smoke-coloured glass in this lamp reveals and connects the soft grey Resene Credence wall with the bold Resene Boris battens. Its black marble base and chrome detail bring a touch of silver to complement the neutral palette. 

Sculptural function

This superbly sculpted ceramic vase is as cool as natural stone, with eye-catching curves that connect it to the other rounded shapes within this minimalist setting while serving as a vessel for the textural willow.  

Natural texture 

Willow branches are a low-key way to add the texture and appeal of a plant, while still maintaining an uncluttered, simple look and feel.
