SUNSET SANCTUARY

Terracotta and peach tones work together to create cosy, relaxing spaces. Here the earthy backdrop of Resene Sunbaked and playful pattern in Resene Roxy create a cocoon-like reading corner with a mid-century vibe thanks to the curved white Betty Bouclé Chair and West Elm Mid-Century Acorn Bookcase from Ballantynes.

Prized pedestal

A pedestal side table not only looks great but is a clever solution for small spaces. Here the Madras Link Emery Cocktail Table with its curved wine glass shaped base connects with the bold graphic rug..

On display

Bookcases are not just for books, they’re a versatile piece of furniture to bring personality and interest to living spaces. This elegant West Elm Mid-Century Acorn Bookcase from Ballantynes adds layers of character.

Curved comfort

Nothing says relaxed luxury like the texture of bouclé in this mid-century silhouette. The curved high back and deep cushioned seat of the Betty Bouclé Occasional Chair by Le Forge from Ballantynes brings style and comfort to any space.

Mid-century graphic

Textiles are a colourful way to create a mid-century look. Bold graphic patterns like this Sonny Moon Rug by Fane Flaws in 100 per cent New Zealand wool brings a sophisticated sense of fun.
