Winter colour trends for your home

Pantone's winter 2022 colours have been dubbed ‘energising' and ‘uplifting’. You can expect to see colours such as yellow and red and neutral hues like beige and grey. But, the must-have nuance will be green, and it’s either bright and lush, known as “lawn” or a more refined “olive” shade says style director Louise Hilsz.

According to Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. “A palette of heartening hues that reflect the natural environment around us inspires our creative energies and awakens a desire for a whole new perspective on the application of colour.” Eiseman adds, “Winter is a time to strengthen our connection with nature.” Here are the colours that reflect the trends and will warm up any room in your home this winter.

Smoked sages, brooding chocolates and warmed neutrals will take charge this winter and will keep us warm as we head into the cooler months. Layer Resene Haven with rich, warm timbers and plenty greenery for a timeless approach. Wrap your living room walls with Resene Rebel to create a beautiful base for cosy movie nights and explore the elegant Resene Quarter Canterbury Clay in your bedroom.
