Colour Forecast 2021
Retreat
With a homely aesthetic, Retreat draws on a nostalgic mix of comfort and security. From sleeping to eating, and working to working out – most homes are becoming the interior hub for many busy, action-packed days. What was once a place for rest and relaxation now embodies a living environment of family, work and play. Artwork: Casey Freeman, Greenhouse Interiors. Colour featured: Dulux Diffused Grey (wall).
Earth-based hues create a harmonious setting to help with inspiration and creativity.
Embrace the blurred balance
As our home and work lives continue to blur, we should upgrade our spaces accordingly to become a hybrid of functionality. This offers the ultimate palette for flexible living.
Draw on nostalgia, comfort and security, and make way for textures that are naturally authentic, like stained timber and feature materials that are sourced sustainably.
Highlight your treasures
A neutral grey creates a soft and contemporary look. Pair with a deep blue and warm white such as Dulux Whisper White which balances earthy colours.
Use decorative items that have a personal meaning and are well-loved.
Just the right amount of simple
Architectural and furniture shapes are simple and sometimes utilitarian but never stark or too minimal.
The bedroom is a great place to begin your colour journey. Indulge in tranquility by contrasting darker hues with a light and softer palette.

Stormy blues and soft greys connect a verdant Mangrove green and earthy burgundy in Burnished Bark. 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.
