Sophisticated glow

The bold rich tan and russet brown colours of Fantan and Guitar provide a perfect backdrop for adding to the fun and relaxed mood of this trend of low-slung furniture, sumptuous velvet upholstery and chrome detailing.

New take on traditional

The depth of Kellands Pond paired with Pt Chevalier accents bolsters the architecture of this traditional home and carefully complements its stained glass windows. The stunning look is enhanced by material details such as glossy surfaces, luxe flooring, smoked glass and modern decor.

Windows & Door

Pt Chevalier

Pt Chevalier is a muted teal that works well as an accent colour both inside and out. Pair it with crisp whites or softer neutrals such as Haast Half.

Passionate expression

Deep midtone colours such as Pt Chevalier, Kellands Pond and Fluorescent Fire evoke sentiments of warmth, nostalgia and self-expression. The character and intrigue of these colours are enhanced with dramatic décor in curved form paired with the classic mushroom lamp in glossy orange-red.

Retro feel

The palette's colourful array of hues creates a distinctly modern interior fused with nostalgic design references reminiscent of the '60s to the '80s, in addition to the textures and glamour from the '70s. Whilst many of us lived through these design periods, the allure of the '70s and '80s is a whole new influence being embraced by younger generations.

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
