Autumn colour trends
Embrace shades that evoke warmth and comfort in your home this autumn with colours from the Dulux Colour Forecast 2024 Journey palette.
Falling into autumn
Our autumn trend colours can create a relaxing and inspiring space in one room while charming and soothing in another. Use our paint colours from our curated Journey palette with pieces you have collected, experienced or remind you of your travels, traditions and culture such as existing furniture and home decor to transform your space.
Bold and beautiful
The all-white living room was painted in the jewelled burgundy shade of Bruised Burgundy, resulting in an emotive and inviting room perfect for nesting in the autumn months. The deep and decadent colour is balanced by Beige Artefacts and deep red Carmen on the trims, doors and architraves.
Design tip: Add interest with objects, materials and textures
Use art, decor and furnishings in different materials and textures to tie in colours in the room. Embrace the significance of preserving traditions and treasuring heirlooms to blend the journey between the past and present.
Charm offensive
This bedroom became a calming sanctuary using the greyed-off blue of Clouded Sky on the walls and Bean Counter on the cabinetry. The Journey palette influenced art and textiles such as the floral linens reminiscent of Antique White U.S.A.®, earthy coloured mismatched pillows referencing shades such as Xena and Hay Wain, and the rich berry Carmen inspiring the curtains and artwork.
Design tip: Let colour set the mood
Choose a main colour that creates the mood you want in your room, space or home and incorporate different colours from the Journey palette through accessories and artwork.
Add layers of depth and colour with the Journey palette
The Journey palette highlights lush green colours Xena and Bean Counter inspired by nature with the muted blues of Swedish Blue and Clouded Sky to help to make a space feel larger and tranquil. Elsewhere muted neutral pinks such as Lilac Light and Evening Blush work seamlessly to create a cohesive look.
Unify with colour
The hallway is washed in the warmth of Pollinate creating a gentle mood throughout the home. The palette influenced the woven stool, greyed-off green chair and artwork with bolder shades such as dusty mustard Hay Wain, earthy green Bean Counter, and red-brown Carmen.
Design tip: Traditional inspiration
Look around your space to elevate and complement existing features such as this intricate tessellated tiled floor that provided the foundation for colour to unify the look and feel of the home.
Doors & Trim
Antique White U.S.A.®
Classic and inviting, Antique White U.S.A.® is a perennial favourite. Its beautiful warmth allows artworks and colour details to sing. A versatile white that suits any space, indoors or out including interior walls, weatherboards, render and trim. It schemes well with the crisp Vivid White™.
Doors & Trims
Beige Artefacts
Beige Artefacts is a popular soft and warm sandy neutral. It is great as main wall colour both inside and out. Team it with warm whites such as Antique White U.S.A.®, as well as deep browns and olive greens such as Xena.
Enchanting enhancements
Welcoming warmth
This secondary living space features the refreshing blue-green Swedish Blue on the walls, which is perfect for soaking up the autumn sun before the darker winter days. The uplifting colour works as a backdrop for other warmer colours, it can bring some life to an otherwise uninspiring room. Charming and eclectic features, such as a floral ceramic vase and artwork feature pops of pink and grassy greens, and a layered rug in a golden beige creates an uplifting space for rest and relaxation.
Design tip: Start with one room
To build colour confidence, start in one room with a colour that immediately stands out to you personally. Whether painting just one or two walls or trying colour on an architectural feature, a door or furniture piece or even just a vase can make a huge difference and encourage you to keep going with your colour journey.
