Still

Dulux Colour Forecast 2025

Driven by our need to appreciate things in the slow lane the Still palette has a calming effect that can create a nourishing and comforting environment.

Thoughtful detail

​The Still trend focuses on creating interiors that are serene and enriched with detail, encouraging a more intentional and sustainable way of living​. Undyed textiles are selected for their natural colours and properties in wool, shearling, cotton and linen that can be integrated alongside traditional materials such as stone and ceramic.

Creating a calm space

The pale buttery yellow Studio Cream stands out in the Still palette. It is a soft highlight in otherwise neutral spaces and a warm and comforting shade for the study, living rooms and bedrooms. ​

Design tip

Studio Cream adds a perfect lightness when paired with subtle terracottas and browns ranging from toffee to chocolate.

Understated luxury

Demonstrating a broader cultural movement towards sustainability and a renewed appreciation of traditional craftsmanship, the trend is full of thoughtful and considered materiality choices.

Design tip

When considering midtone colours for paint, try using them on all four walls – especially in bedrooms and formal living spaces. For smaller spaces, use smaller volumes on either one or two walls.

Bringing nature into your home

Encouraging a deeper connection with nature, the subdued palette is filled with calming neutrals, and grey midtone shades as accents that exude warmth and a sense of ease. ​

 The Still palette is likely to be popular with home enthusiasts with its beautiful warm neutrals, muted darker tones, yellow-based greens and greyed-off blues.

Eco-mindfulness

Lighter neutrals in this palette such as Slight Mushroom remind us of the need for a deeper connection with nature. Still focuses on design that encourages sustainable living practices, integrating biophilia, the use of eco-friendly and non-toxic or natural materials, recycling or upcycling practices in furniture and décor as well as emphasis on circular manufacturing​.

​Design tip

Metal accents alongside paper, cord and leather, and primitive-style line work patterns can enrich the sensory experience in your home. ​

Slow design

The trend demonstrates a broader cultural movement towards sustainability, simplicity and a renewed appreciation of traditional crafts.​

Design tip

Consider using darker colours as accents for decorative objects, textures and furniture against a neutral backdrop.
