SEASONAL TRENDS

2020

Autumn

Start nesting for autumn with calm and comforting neutrals.

Cooler temperatures call for cosying up indoors with earthy tones from the Grounded trend. This palette invites us to embrace biscuity neutrals and muted accents inspired by nature. Rejuvenate your nursery or kids’ bedrooms with a touch of texture and nostalgic warmth led by Dulux Colour Forecaster and Interior Designer, Bree Leech.

Warm character

Colour such as Pancake Mix has the power to rejuvenate and accentuate a room’s existing features. The Grounded palette is cosy and inviting, adding warmth and character to a home.

Styling Tips

Watch how Bree Leech uses the Grounded palette to transform an all-white kid's bedroom into a nature-inspired haven.

Seasonal Autumn trends: Featuring the Grounded palette

“It’s important not to add too much clutter to a child’s room – you want to give them space to relax and play. We left plenty of breathing space and kept the sheer linen curtains to allow soft light to filter in.” – Bree Leech, stylist

Create your moodboard

Designing a moodboard helps narrow down your inspiration and plan your space to achieve the desired look.

Warm up to minimalism

The Grounded palette reflects our desire to simplify and slow-down. Warm white and putty tones make for a versatile base, while elements of terracotta, soft clay, and lavender add warmth and personality. Relaxed yet sophisticated, this trend is perfect for those who favour a less-is-more approach.

Sentimental style

Children need plenty of room to play and grow. Resist the urge to fill the space with clutter. Instead, accessorise with family heirlooms and flea-market finds for character with a hint of nostalgia.

There’s only one way to know if you’ve chosen the right colour for your space – and that’s by testing the paint first in your home with a sample pot. All of our colours are available to order in 100ml sample pots.
