Circus Stripes
Being bold with thick stripes and a fun colour palette can bring
so much life into a space, while still looking sophisticated.

Stylist tip
For a fun, modern take on the classic stripe, go bold and wide. Adapt the classic bright red to the more sophisticated deep brown-red of Resene Scoria. When using a bold thick stripe try to follow
this look through with chunky furniture pieces that will make a statement.
Stylist tip
Carry through the idea of "stripes" into other areas of the home with a striped lamp and the inclusion of The Surround Laminex panels on the wall. These will help bring all the spaces together.
Stylist tip
Creating a bold colour palette can be a daunting task. Opt for at least two to three mid tones that are very similar in colour, to give you small variations, but hold the palette together (Resene New Day, Resene Morning Haze, Resene Athena). Include a white with base tones that compliment these (Resene Half Sea Fog) and a deep bold contrasting colour (Resene Scoria).
