Live more colourful

Get a tropical vibe going in the kitchen with pretty shades inspired by sunnier climes

You might not realise it, but colour plays a vital role in our lives and how we respond to our surroundings. The colours you choose can influence your perspective and emotions, as well as those around you. One of the easiest ways to inject colour into your life is through your home. Look for everyday items that will bring a burst of colour to even the most neutral of spaces. A mix of warm and cool hues will help you find your own balance. Colours like red and pink will bring out feelings of love, energy, joy and sweetness, while blues and greens will encourage calm, wisdom, tranquillity and growth.

Make your coffee moments brighter with the new NESCAFÉ Gold collector’s edition tins, which feature prints from Kiwi fashion designer Kelly Coe, who created the much-loved Augustine label. Displaying her dazzling trademark patterns and bright colours, they’ll bring a new level of style to your coffee break.

Kelly Coe says she hopes the range of NESCAFÉ Gold collector’s edition tins will help coffee lovers to live more colourfully and explore fresh perspectives on their daily routines. Creativity and tranquillity can be inspired with the pretty purple and green design.

Priced at just $10.39 (RRP), the NESCAFÉ Gold collector’s edition tins are available for a limited time from major supermarkets and feature a signature gold metallic finish for that extra layer of luxury in your everyday life. Inject some happiness, warmth and optimism to your day with the peach and sunshine yellow version.

TIP: Cool colours can help a room feel more spacious, while warm tones will help with coziness.
