Dulux Colour Forecast 2015
Wildland Palette
Driven by our basic need to connect with the environment around us, we surround ourselves with colours that reflect untamed landscapes from the harshest ice terrains to the wildest forests and mountains. Wildland illustrates a story through the contrast of light and dark – virtuous versus malevolent, a story of discovering the beauty in what nature has created and embracing imperfections. Taking comfort in the most primitive of materials such as timber, stone, leather and fur we reconnect with our primal selves.
Silentshift Palette
Our digital demands required us to be forever alert. At the risk of fatigue and overstimulation, we were taking time to pause, unplug and recuperate. Silentshift’s soft colour palette allowed us to create spaces in which there was minimal pattern and contrast, inviting your mind to rest and be silent. We shift our approach to finding a new balance between fast-paced and slow living. Simple curves and block colours in cosmetic hues create ethereal spaces with a dreamlike quality, conducive to silent moments.
Modhaus Palette
A playful approach to design allowed us to reconnect with a time when there were less restrictions on our creativity. Modhaus took its cues from design movements where form did not necessarily follow function and colour was explored using bold playful combinations. Memphis design of the 1980s was at the core of this trend. Contrasting colour blocks that appeared to be spliced between graphic patterns, often in black and white, played against geometric shapes that repeated to create a sense of order that balanced out the colour play.
Earthwerks Palette
Reducing our impact on the earth continued to be a crucial community goal as we aspired to get in touch with nature on a more personal level. Earthwerks explored our desire to have greenery in our homes and workspaces. The urge to get our hands dirty, to create things from scratch and be aware of the provenance of our food drove this trend. A palette drawn from greens and mineral hues created spaces where real nature blended seamlessly with future interiors.
