This winter, the mood is minimalist, casual, yet elegant, with a colour scheme of cool greys and warm natural tones inspired by Dulux’s Essential palette – one of the four key palettes from the Dulux Colour Trends 2018. Colour featured: Dulux Whisper White (chimney breast).
This trend is all about laid-back sophistication and simplicity. Think uncomplicated design, combined with pale grey and accents of rust, grey green and terracotta.
The cool, natural tones of this palette sit wonderfully alongside warm whites such as Dulux Whisper White. If you’re cautious about adding colour, start small by adding colour accents in unexpected spots such as behind shelving, around window frames or on a door as a feature.
Chimney breast
Whisper White
Whisper White lets you create a welcoming atmosphere in your home. As the most perfect ivory, it is a lush, warm white that works beautifully with most colour schemes inside and out in any style of home.
A warm white and grey scheme pairs beautifully with other soft organic shades such as buttery tan, sand and green grey.
Add colour, such as dusty pink, terracotta or inky blue to create a focal point in a room or draw attention to interesting architectural features such as architraves or a beautiful ceiling rose.
Accessorise with furniture crafted from simple shapes in raw timber, natural stone and leather.
Incorporate textiles and ceramics with raw edges and hand-finished detailing.
