Magic mauves

Warm purply greys up the neutral ante

-

As our interior tastes shift away from cool greys, it’s time to consider alternativ­es that are a little more interestin­g, yet are flexible enough to provide the base for a variety of accent colours and decor styles. Mauve-greys may be the answer. They can be misty and otherworld­ly, warm and saturated, regal or feminine. Pair them with dusky pink, bronze and mid-grey velvet for a luxe-looking space and try adding battens for architectu­ral interest. Installing battens in a grid is a classic format but there really is no limit to the way you choose to arrange them. Used vertically, they will add visual height to a room and can be used to frame a statement artwork. Paint them one shade darker than the wall in Resene Lustacryl semigloss for added impact; palette cards from the Resene Multifinis­h colour collection will help with your selection.
