Pattern clash

This summer floral patterns are your go-to inspiration. Mix and match them with other pattern styles such as stripes, checks, gingham, and spots. Floral patterns with a vintage vibe from the '60s and '70s are on trend, bring the whole look together by working within a selected palette. Not sure where to start? Use the Wonder colour palette as your inspiration, choose your wall colour then feature similar hues throughout the clashing patterns.

Fresh outlook

Create your summer mood with a palette inspired by pretty botanicals, after all Summer is when we feel most connected to the outdoors. Nature’s ultimate hue, green is the perfect backdrop for sweet pastel shades such as blush, lemon & lilac. Take your cues from verdant gardens and create the perfect grounding base to your colour filled summer palette with colours such as Dulux Queenstown Hill and the softer Dulux Matauri Bay.

Work from home beauty

What better way to inspire you than to have a beautiful colour as your work from home backdrop? Add artwork that transports you to another place, perfect for procrastination daydreaming - and your favourite vessels to fill with fresh flowers. 

This combined with the warmth of soft terracotta in Dulux Motueka makes a desk space so inviting you'll want to have your afternoon tea there even on your days off.

The colourful outdoors

Colour isn't just for making your indoor spaces feel bright and happy, if your exterior is lacking inspiration bring color outside through furniture and decor. Featuring colour in your outdoor spaces helps connect your interior to your exterior, creating a cohesive home. Take inspiration from your interior palette and paint items such as planters in bold hues, adding your favourite colours to make your own colourful outdoors.
