Letter

The colour team at Dulux loves to research, explore and embrace new colour directions.

We have been on this journey for nearly 20 years and it’s such a delight to trace our early beginnings and observe the beautiful evolution of colour trends that have helped to shape the past two decades in design.

Confidence in colour continues to rise and we are seeing stunning combinations that break with tradition to inspire residential and commercial spaces that explore a new, bespoke feel.

We are excited to share the Dulux Colour Forecast 2019. This year’s theme, Filter, speaks to our collective craving for individuality and personal expression. Four key directions, entitled Repair, Wholeself, Legacy and Identity, help us to mindfully tap out the distractions from our hyper-connected lives and focus on the things that move and inspire us.

We hope you enjoy the colour journey that our Dulux Colour Forecast 2019 presents.

When the world is so busy and the influences so many, how do we filter out the noise and focus on what matters most?

With our smart devices fired up and technology working at full capacity, it can be hard to find a break between all the updates, reminders and invitations.

Filter is inspired by the way we edit and curate the world around us every single day. We block out the negative news and mindfully tune into the issues we care about. We follow the stories and personalities that fill us with positivity and inspiration and unfollow those that do not. Creative awakenings filter into our feeds through a mish-mash of influences that help craft a vision that is uniquely our own.

The Dulux Colour Forecast 2019 encompasses a diverse and contrasting palette that empowers and nurtures. Tonal and saturated hues offer a varied spectrum of colour designed to help us engage, on the one hand, and disconnect on the other. In 2019, it’s about creating spaces that speak to the individual and help us all live our best life.

Repair TREND I

Colours to nature and nurture

Repair

The future is in our hands. From our bubble of connectivity and comfort, we watch on as Mother Nature fights the forces of over-population and reduced biodiversity. We’re reminded that there is no better time to control our destiny and have a positive impact.

Repair helps us revive our relationship with nature and embrace a more holistic, ‘circular’ way of living.

Our carefree existence begins to fade into the past, as we adopt a wabi-sabi sensibility that appreciates the beauty of faults and flaws.

As we heal our connection with nature, we seek out humble and authentic tones and embrace a rich interplay of imperfections. The worn and weathered live in harmony alongside the new and modern. Optimism and peace are restored.

Repair takes its cues from worn surfaces and vintage patina, finding a modern harmony through its uplifting, earthy palette. Sustainable furniture pieces are selected for their timelessness and longevity, while more contemporary designs recycle old waste and make it new again.

Details take us back to the basics, encouraging us to rediscover existing elements and make them special through the process of mixing and matching with newer, refined pieces.

3D HOUSING 05 is moulded using a mixture of cementitious powders, aggregate and binders. The aggregate can be drawn from local soil to avoid transport and blend with its surrounds.

The house can also be demolished, pulverised or reconstructed using the same material.

Alchemy and decay Lindsey Adelman and Calico Wallpaper use their experiments with salt and natural corrosive chemicals to create weathered effects for ‘Beyond the Deep’. This immersive underwater scene of alchemy and decay uses Calico’s Oceania wallpaper to conjure watery imperfections, while Adelman’s Drop lighting appears as underwater creatures covered in algae and barnacles.

Wholeself

Do you feel like your mind is in constant overdrive? Now is the moment to switch off the smartphone and clear out the mental clutter. Wholeself is the spiritual awakening you’ve been silently craving.

In our search for wellness we look to align our mind and body through the spaces we inhabit every day.

36

In an effort to reconnect with ourselves, we dial back the volume to create calm, distraction-free zones. Rounded curves and soft, plush surfaces channel a sense of quiet minimalism, no fussy details here.

Gentle, nurturing tones and subtle layerings of texture ignite the senses and revive the spirit. Life has never felt so good.

Curved Comfort The Wholeself look is embodied by relaxing curvaceous forms and invitingly rounded shapes. Easy on the eye, these organic and soft forms were seen everywhere. From furniture with a cloud-like appearance, perfect for sinking into, to round flowing lines that fit beautifully around the human form.

Contemplative Space In Caesarstone’s hyper-Instagrammed installation we saw how primal elements of ice, water and steam come together in the everyday rituals of the kitchen island. Set in the faded grandeur of a Milanese palazzo, this quiet, cool and contemplative space drew unlikely connections with the hub of the modern home.

Legacy

What is the legacy we leave behind?

Every day we tread the tightrope of time, propelled forward by new innovations and futuristic technologies. But there’s no ignoring our past – the ultimate symbol of timeless elegance and century-old traditions.

Legacy blends the past and present into everlasting harmony through an eclectic mix of influences. It summons history’s most cherished classics and adapts these to fit a new, modern-age vision.

58

Looking to learn from traditional crafts and techniques, Legacy takes iconic forms and elegant looks and marries them with modern statements of style. Saturated hues are tempered by paler shades, creating a perfect backdrop to an intermingling of old-world charm and new-world chic.

Identity

This is the moment you’ve been waiting for. Identity is an empowering call to action that taps into the bold, radical, non-conformist streak that dwells within us all.

A mish-mash of modern multi-cultural influences calls up the colourful, futuristic vibes of sci-fi fantasy and off-the-wall selfie culture. They command us to be brave and confident and to flaunt the fabulous, colourful quirks and flaws that make us unique.

Rules and conventions are thrown out the window, freeing us up to experiment with a bold and individualistic vision.

Filled with fun and spirited energy, bursting with the spontaneity of youth and wild optimism, colour becomes adrenaline for the senses.

Graphic Mirage GAN has released a new collection of Patricia Urquioladesigned rugs which capture colour in movement.

Made from pure New Zealand wool, the rugs trick the eye with their colour gradation, applied in bands that merge together and break the mould of traditional rug design formats.

Mexi-mania The stunning and idiosyncratic ‘Mono Mania Mexico’ is a textile and furniture project inspired by Wood’s personal journey into the great Mexican culture of the 1970s. Jointly commissioned by Limonta and Moroso, the outcome is an intimate capture of Wood’s personality and identity.

Off the grid Grid patterns in all their forms, from simple to adorned, chequered, black-and-white and coloured, emerged as a strong direction in Milan. Bold and highly visible was the Lavazza café at Wallpaper Handmade, where blue-and-white grids adorned every surface and expressed a strong and memorable visual statement.
