Choose a trend with a lasting impact
The true beauty of colour is that you can easily change it, update it, add to it, complement it and refine it as your household personality evolves, but it’s important to get your base colours perfected - so that you can easily add and enhance as you go.
Mushroom-based pinks are increasingly popular and have become part of the “neutral palette”, adding a slight blush to the traditional beige collection. Supplied by Dulux featuring Dulux Mornington Half.
The perfected art of grey-green
Featuring heavily on-trend, these are typically blue-based greys, and green-based greys. Other muted tones paired with terracotta work well, while designers recommend introducing a secondary, contrasting colour to grey on grey schemes for maximum impact.
The Dulux team recommend that when using grey, always introduce, and highlight, with a secondary colour. Provence with Ascot façade shown.
Stone remains absolutely stylish
Natural material aesthetics, like stone and marble, remain as popular as ever with the inflections and imperfections of real and substitute marble creating visual ambiance in any space. While marble itself can be expensive and abrasive, the marble substitutes look exactly the part, free from maintenance and ready to play host to a busy home.

Botanical is here in a big way
Birds, flamingos, palms and fun motifs add energy and personality to each space, especially helping kids create their own zone in their bedroom. A perfect blend with Queensland’s outdoor lifestyle, botanicals can be added to living spaces through potted plants, or consider mint green paint colours, to bring a fresh palette inside.
Coral colours like Dulux Tango add a serious splash of fun colour to children’s rooms.
