Colour is a powerful tool in interior design, significantly impacting the atmosphere of a space. While cooler tones, particularly purple, dominated recent trends, 2024 marks a resurgence of warm hues. Red reigns as the colour of the season, with its family of oranges and tangerines gaining prominence. Conversely, earthy browns and beige have replaced grey as the preferred neutral, contributing to the overall warm and inviting aesthetic.

Warm interior tones are a perfect match for New Zealand's climate and lifestyle. Our temperate, often overcast weather can create a sense of coolness indoors. Warm colours like reds, oranges, and browns counteract this, bringing a sense of warmth and cosiness to our homes. Additionally, our natural environment, with its lush greenery and earthy landscapes, complements the earthy tones in the current interior design trend. These colours evoke a strong connection to nature, creating a harmonious and relaxing atmosphere.
