One of the strongest colour trends is a move towards earthy, nature-inspired hues – timeless shades that feel grounding, calming, and restorative.
It’s perfectly in step with a desire for spaces that reconnect us with the natural world.
For New Zealanders, spring is the ideal time to embrace such palettes. With longer days and more sunlight pouring into our homes, earthy colours glow beautifully to create interiors that feel both warm and uplifting. And, in celebration of Best in Build, and with Mexico as Verve’s featured overseas destination, we thought why not lean into its desert landscapes to borrow tones inspired by sun-baked terracotta, cactus foliage, and golden tequila fields.
For example, the clay-like richness of Resene Tuscany or Resene Desert Sand pairs beautifully with the sage-green softness of Resene Spanish Green or Resene Cactus. Balance it all with a fresh neutral like Resene Blanc to keep the scheme, fresh, light, and airy.
These earthy tones, rooted in Mexico’s desert spirit, offer the perfect balance of grounded calm and seasonal optimism this spring.
