17 Sep 2024

Creating a harmonious and charming interior involves a keen eye for colour coordination and a knack for blending textures. The 2024 OLLO collection offers an exquisite range of soft furnishing items that, when paired with the right Resene hues, can transform any space into a sanctuary of style and comfort. Let’s take a look at how you can achieve the perfect blend in your home.

Bold and beautiful 

The bold and beautiful Resene Blue Bark on these walls pair beautifully with (from left) OLLO’s Capri throw in cloud blue, Otto cushion in navy, Adele cushion in navy and Frankie floor rug.

The combination of light and dark shades, and various blue hues, creates a sophisticated and charming space. If you’re using a dark shade on walls, opting for a lighter coloured rug, like this Frankie floor rug, works to anchor the space. This palette is perfect for creating an inviting and serene atmosphere. You could also try other popular dark hues like Resene New Denim Blue, Resene Coast, Resene Elephant and Resene Indian Ink. 

Warm and welcoming 

Resene Moccaccino gives this living room a warm, cosy feel. The brown toned red pairs wonderfully with (from left) OLLO’s Serenade throw in burnt orange, Ariana cushion in desert, Otto cushion in brick, Milano cushion in brick, Dolce cushion in ecru, Adele cushion in desert and Dolce cushion in brick. Lighter colours work to ground the space from the floor up with the Miranda floor rug in pebble and Dolce cushion in natural. 

Resene Moccaccino’s warm, earthy tones serve as an ideal backdrop for OLLO's vibrant and cosy accessories. The burnt orange, desert and brick hues in the throw and cushions bring warmth and depth to the room. This combination is perfect for creating a warm and welcoming environment. These inviting accessories would pair well with other earthy tones too, such as Resene Hot August, Resene Desperado, Resene Burnt Sienna and Resene Scoria.  

Nature’s moody palette 

Get the nature inspired look by using various shades of green and earthy toned accessories, like in (from left) OLLO’s Fiesta throw in olive, Dolce cushion in sage, Ariana cushion in sage, Milano cushion in olive and Marceau round floor rug. Combining these with a dark hue like Resene Blue Bark will give you a moody, cosy feel. 

For a nature-inspired look, OLLO's olive and sage accessories pair beautifully with Resene’s dark hues. The soft greens bring a botanical touch to the deep blue backdrop, creating a tranquil and cohesive space. Instead of blue, you cantry dark greens that will pair seamlessly with your nature palette, such as Resene Cabbage Pont, Resene Kelp, Resene Log Cabin and Resene Karaka.  

Charming neutrals 

This modern space is adorned with neutrals, from the walls in Resene Half Thorndon Cream, to the accessories, (from left) OLLO’s Loveline cushion in black, Capri throw in ecru, Arezzo cushion in black, Dolce cushion in ecru, Loveline cushion in ecru, Milano cushion in black and Miranda floor rug in colour ivory. 

Combining white and black creates a classic yet contemporary canvas. OLLO's neutral toned cushions add elegance and contrast to this living space, with other soft décor  balancing the sophisticated palette. An ivory floor rug also adds a touch of luxury, blending with the wooden floor. You can easily achieve this timeless look by combining OLLO’s lush fabric accessories with shades like Resene Rice Cake, Resene Double Merino, Resene Blanc and Resene Quarter Biscotti.  

Creating a harmonious interior is all about balance and coordination. The OLLO 2024/25 collection, when paired with Resene's many hues, offers endless possibilities for transforming your home into a charming and cohesive sanctuary. Whether you prefer bold contrasts or subtle harmonies, these thoughtfully selected combinations will inspire and elevate your interior design.
