Colour Forecast 2019
Wholeself
Do you feel like your brain is in constant overdrive? It’s time to switch off the smartphone and clear out the mental clutter. Wholeself helps us to create a calm, distraction-free zone where we can dial back the volume and reconnect with ourselves. Colours featured: Dulux Silver Thaw and Dulux Modest Mauve.
Stop, breathe and simply be in the moment.
Our home is our temple, a place where we can ignite the senses through gentle, nurturing tones. We remove all the fussy details to channel a sense of quiet minimalism. Rounded curves and soft, plush surfaces are enriched by subtle layerings of texture. Life has never felt so good.
The Wholeself Palette
Wholeself warms you up and cools you down with soft blushes and hints of grey-green. Enticing neutrals and glamorous golds are tempered by a cool base of mauve greys.
A soothing tonal palette helps to create a room where you can switch off both visually and mentally. Beauty is found in subtle textural details and quiet colour accents.
Evoke a feeling of relaxation and wellness
Evoke a feeling of relaxation and wellness in your guest room or retreat by using a soft green such as Dulux New Life. For a truly chilled space, choose tonal hues for your other elements.
Classic and bold
Tonality is key in the Wholeself trend, punctuate your space using accessories to create moments of interest with accent colours that complement your colour scheme but don’t overpower it.

Get the look with the Wholeself 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 Wholeself trend.
Keep it simple
Make your bedroom simple, relaxing and restful using a limited colour palette. Create moments of interest and contrast with a dark ceiling and a change in materials, like this chimney finished in onyx.
Outside in
Bringing the outside in can really bring your interiors to life. Indoor plants improve your air quality and take you closer to nature, which is great for health and happiness.
