The best way to make sure you're choosing the right white is to either order an A4 drawdown paint swatch or paint a testpot in the room you are wanting to paint. Remember to try it in both well-lit and darker areas of the room as it will look very different depending on the light.

Stylist tip
Although dopamine decor is very much focused on bold, bright colors, doesn’t mean these spaces can’t be soft and gentle too. Greens create a peaceful, relaxed setting and can help a space to feel grounding, ideal for
a guest bedroom space.

Stylist tip
Combine practicality with style in your home office by mounting cork tiles onto the wall, creating an oversized pinboard that brings texture into the space. Finish this off with a framed cork board, cutting the cork tiles into a tetris of shapes, then painting a selection of them to bring your colour palette together.

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
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).

Interior styling: dare to be different with statement colours, sassy textures and tones
Interior stylist Amber Armitage shares her tips and serves up inspiration for colour-filled bold living spaces.
STYLING + ART DIRECTION AMBER ARMITAGE / PHOTOS WENDY FENWICK AT FLASH STUDIOS
PRO TIP #1: Strike a balance by teaming an audacious colour (as in this statement chair and wall in Resene Red Berry) with soft neutrals like Resene Zumthor. Combining areas of dynamic interest (this rug, for example) with areas of calm will also help to ensure your bold scheme isn’t visually overwhelming.
PRO TIP #2: When combining two bold colours, try using complementary pairs (such as the red and blue pictured here, or green and magenta) to create a super-strong contrast, then keep your accessories paired back.
