While working on the DIY laundry that I shared in Part 1 of this series, we were also renovating our ensuite. Previously the space had a very white on white scheme, with grey floor tiles. Wanting to soften the colour palette this time around, I decided to introduce some warm beige hues. I loved the textural finish of the floor tiles, and decided to draw on these colours when choosing the right Dulux paint colour.

Using my fail-proof method of selecting a range of Dulux Colour Swatches to test in the space, I chose a selection of neutrals from the Dulux Colours of New Zealand range. My shortlist of light beige, grey and greige hues included the following Dulux colours:
- Opononi Double
- Whakarewarewa Quarter
- Mangaweka Half
- Torere Double
- Haast Double
Because the ensuite lacks natural light, I didn't want to go too dark. Narrowing it down to two of the lighter hues, Dulux Haast Double and Opononi Double, my final choice was Dulux Haast Double. I loved how it blended seamlessly with the floor and shower tiles, and it provided a soft canvas against the bold black plywood furniture and heating rail. Dulux recommended a Wash & Wear Low Sheen, which is perfect for the bathroom area, and we paired it with a complimentary white, Dulux Southern Alps for the Ceiling.
