Embrace the warmth of orange in your home for Arthritis NZ
When it comes to home décor, few colours can create a warm and inviting atmosphere like orange. Known for its vibrant energy and welcoming aura, orange adds an eye-catching touch to any space. With Resene's diverse range of orange shades, you can easily integrate this colour into your home to bring a sense of brightness, joy and comfort.
This month, the Resene Paint It Orange campaign supports Arthritis NZ. Throughout November, for every orange testpot you purchase at a Resene ColorShop (NZ only), Resene will donate $1 to Arthritis New Zealand.

Channel an off-grid escape with summery sunset-inspired hues of burnt orange, salmon pink and burnt mustard, all balanced with a touch of olive green.

Create a vibrant and inspiring home office with a bold mural of geometric shapes. The walls here are painted in a lively mix warm golden orange complemented by soft pinks and blues, creating an energising backdrop for work. The graphic shapes bring dynamic movement and creativity to the space, sparking inspiration and focus. Try to keep furniture and other décor minimal to balance your vivid mural.
