Journey

Dulux Colour Forecast 2024

Travel, cultural differences, bohemian charm and the art of craft influenced the Journey palette of lavish midtone colours for a maximalist and eclectic feel in our homes.

Overarching warmth

The Journey palette beckons you in with bohemian charm, eclectic allure and the art of craft. Leading you through this trend are rich reds and plums, including Carmen and Martinborough, adding a decadent contrast to the palette.

Ceiling

Evening Blush

Evening Blush is beautiful, warm clay-coloured pink that pairs well with soft neutrals such as Beige Artefacts. It can be used as an accent colour such as on a feature wall or used as an all-over wall colour to add a sense of warmth and drama to any space.

Eclectic allure

A maximalist and pattern-heavy palette, Journey is about the story of an interior with a focus on the objects and items handed down and the rich ancestral heritage they represent.

Walls & Ceiling

Murrays Bay

Murrays Bay is a beautiful greyed-off mid-blue that works well as an accent colour both inside or out. It's also works well in bedrooms, bathrooms or laundries. Pair it with whites like Epsom or Cardrona as well as soft neutrals and deep charcoal greys.

Depth of colour

Taking influence from our travels, folk traditions and cultural differences, the Journey palette weaves together elements of bohemian charm and eclectic allure often revealed in furniture and fabrics that are heavily patterned and textured.

We are seeing the characteristic spirit of our era manifested in sustainability attitudes and aspirations. This leads into caring for our future and using vintage furniture and turning to sustainable options for decor such as fibre-embellished lampshades.

Wall

Martinborough

Martinborough is a classic colour that can create a sense of drama in bedrooms, living rooms and dining spaces. Pair it with fresh whites such as Ōkārito, sandy neutral Ōpononi Half or the subtle pink of Kumutoto Half.

Honouring memories

Embracing the significance of preserving traditions and treasuring heirlooms, Journey beckons you to weave together the past with the present.

Similar to the rich and diverse tapestry of our own lives, the Journey palette brings togther rich midtone hues, with yellow-greens, such as Te Horo and Tarras, and blues like Te Ānau and Murrays Bay, alongside rich reds and plum, including Carmen and Martinborough for contrast.

Green with envy

Striking design nested within traditional spaces provides a gracious nod to our past. Statement pieces such as a wicker armchair softened with plush velvet pair easily with décor in contrasting colours. The rich yellow greens of Tarras and Te Horo provide the base for layer-upon-layer of greens throughout the space from nature to artwork. The blue column painted in Murrays Bay provides a gentle break in the living room’s solid hue range.

Celebrating an open divide

Colour is the perfect mechanism to delineate spaces and add layers of depth in a harmonious manner without introducing closures.

Wall

Glinks Gully

Glinks Gully 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 Cardrona Half and Southern Alps, as well as deeper browns such as Norsewood, Terrible Billy and Colorsteel® Ironsand.

Pretty in pink

The startling pink of Evening Blush is subdued by decorative elements such as multi-coloured trinkets, heavily patterned textures and time-worn rugs adorned with geometric shapes. Vintage finds such as side tables are given a new lease on life with fresh coats of colour, reflecting New Zealanders' desire for more sustainable design choices.

Expert tips

Davina's advice

Dulux Colour and Design Specialist Davina Harper shares her expert colour and design tips.

How to use Dulux Colour Forecast colours at home

Midtones work best when used on all four walls, particularly in bedrooms and living spaces. For smaller spaces, you can use less volume on either one or two walls. Don’t forget ceilings and areas such as picture rails or dado rails, which also work well in midtone colour schemes.

Plan ahead

Before choosing colour schemes and soft furnishings, it's crucial to consider elements you can’t change easily such as carpet, tiles, laminate or stone, and/or curtains and blinds that you will need to ensure work with the new colours chosen.

Choosing colour

For colour accuracy, simply order swatches or sample pots in your chosen colours to view them in your home’s natural light conditions. We also have an online colour advice team and a Colour Design Service if you prefer a design professional to help curate your space
