Repair

Get the look with Julia Green

Repair helps us revive our relationship with nature and embrace a more holistic and ‘circular’ way of living. Our comfortable, carefree existence begins to fade into the past, as we adopt a wabi-sabi sensibility that appreciates the beauty in faults and flaws.

It’s time to heal our rifts with nature

As we heal our rifts with nature, we fill our spaces with humble and authentic tones, inviting in an interplay of beautiful imperfections. The worn and weathered is reborn alongside the new and modern. Optimism and peace is restored.

 

Mix your well-loved vintage pieces with new, modern furniture items to create a cosy, character-filled space. It’s the flea market finds and hand-me-down furniture that help to build stories and memories.

The Repair Palette

Soft, natural greens intermingle with authentic neutrals and earthy hues of cinnamon and sienna. A pop of yellow adds an optimistic note to this natural and holistic palette. Colours displayed should be used as a guide for your colour selection. To ensure best accuracy, test your colour choice at home by ordering Dulux Sample Pots and A4 Colour Swatches.

Cosy spaces

Hues such as Cinnamon Sand can create a warm but natural colour palette that is perfect in a cosy space. Natural linens, rough painted brick and weathered architectural details create a homely and relaxed atmosphere.

Allowing personality to shine

Repair is about using what you have and making it special through the process of mixing and matching with newer, modern pieces. Look for well-loved vintage items that may need some extra care spent to bring them back to life. Use a backdrop of neutral hues such as Ōhai Half, allowing furniture details to shine.

Use uplifting colours to smooth out rough edges

Uplifting colours smooth out the rough edges with their authentic optimism. Highlight cabinetry with colour you love and pare back strong schemes with natural finishes such as timber and concrete.

Create a harmonious colour scheme

Staying within a colour family is an easy way to create a harmonious colour scheme. Combine mustard with yellow-based green and warm timber finishes for a cohesive look and feel.

Don't risk tinting your favourite colours with other paint brands. Only Dulux pigments mixed into Dulux Wash&Wear® and Dulux Weathershield® are designed to create our iconic colours shown here every time. Colours featured: Dulux Teahouse (exterior) and Dulux Domino (trim and verandah).

Get the look with the Repair trend

The Dulux Colour Forecast is about more than colour, it helps bring trends to life in your home through styling and accessories. Here we take you through key elements and styling tips for the Repair trend.

Warmth in texture

While bedlinen is a beautiful way to create layers in your bedroom, there are plenty of other materials that can create interest. Textured linen, rattan, vintage rugs and worn concrete come together for a lovely layered effect.

Second chances

The Japanese art of Kintsugi brings new beauty to broken items by filling the cracks and scars with gold. Taking inspiration from this craft, Repair celebrates worn, weathered and vintage items that reveal their character and story through their imperfect appearance.
