Dulux Colour Forecast

Australia’s most recognised and trusted paint brand

WELCOME Welcome to the summer 2023 issue of Dulux Residential's Home Finish.

At Dulux, we remain focused on delivering first-class solutions to our customers and consumers. Dulux Construction Solutions brings together our market-leading brands: Dulux Decorative Paint, Dulux Avista, Dulux Acratex, Porter’s Paint and Intergrain, to provide residential builders easy access to our product solutions.

Dulux Construction Solutions has made it easier for our customers to access all our brands, and helps us better service our customers – so we thought it might be even easier for our customers if we shorten our name to Dulux. Although we've shortened the name, we haven’t changed our focus, and we'll continue to provide builders with the latest updates, products and colour innovations from our market-leading brands for the New Residential segment.

RESI HOMES

Images: Hello Image

Premium builds with a premium paint partner.

After nearly a decade in business, award-winning residential builder Resi Homes has built an enviable reputation for premium quality builds, constructed on time and to the highest standards of workmanship.

With its head office on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, Resi Homes is owned and operated by Dayne Rogers and constructs custom homes around North Brisbane.

Standing out in a competitive market

A standout prestige home

“Although we specialise in the high-end market, we build for first home buyers, multi-unit and dual occupancy projects right through to multi-million dollar residences.

Our in-house draftspeople and architects can quickly turn our client's vision into reality. We offer high-quality renders and virtual walk-throughs so clients can see exactly what their new home will look like before construction has commenced,” Dayne says.

Dayne is particularly proud of a recent project, a stunning, high-end home backing onto the picturesque Newport Marina north of Brisbane. At 1000 sqm, the home is expansive, with seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a cinema room, a glass-roofed atrium, a rooftop terrace, a spiral staircase, vast built-in cabinetry, a champagne cellar, an above-ground pool and an extensive outdoor entertaining area. Dayne says the client had a clear vision for their showstopping home, which other designers and builders had struggled to translate.

Proud to partner with Dulux While Resi Homes has always insisted on using Dulux products for its builds, the relationship was formalised this year.

“There are some products where I am happy for clients to make their own selection, but not paints and renders – they are so important to the final finish. Resi Homes offers clients a customised range of Dulux interior and exterior paints as well as Dulux Acratex textures and renders. Dulux products have a reputation for quality which aligns with our values,” Dayne explains.

“Dulux is a collaborative and forward-thinking partner and we get great support from the Dulux team.

They understand how our business works.”

“Our in-house architect drew up the plans to fit our client’s vision. We built the home, including its many unique and highly customised features, to meet the brief, budget and timelines, despite disruptions due to the pandemic,” Dayne says.

The home features Dulux® Professional on all interiors, Dulux® Weathershield® on all exteriors, and Dulux® Acratex® Coventry® Coarse tinted external texture which coats 80 per cent of the home’s exterior.

“Our client is thrilled, and so are we. Every detail in this home has been very labour-intensive from design to build, and the final result is truly stunning.”

Positivity & Warmth DULUX COLOUR FORECAST This year’s colour trends reflect an inner desire for positivity and spaces that nurture within our homes.

Every year, the Colour Forecast is a significant milestone for Australian interiors. In its 25th year, the 2024 Dulux Colour Forecast palettes reflect an inner desire for positivity and spaces that nurture within our interiors.

Predominant hues in the 2024 Dulux Colour Forecast include warm colours with a yellow influence, pink undertones that appear in clay hues and reddy browns, olive green and accents of pale blue and zesty yellow. This year’s palettes, Journey, Solstice and Muse step deeper into the mid-tone colours, to evoke sentiments of warmth, nostalgia and self-expression.

With each palette’s overall aesthetic offering a flexibility sure to appeal to a broad audience, the coming year’s trends are well suited to all Australian homes.

Walls in Dulux Evening Blush

Journey Taking influence from our travels, folk traditions and cultural differences, the Dulux Journey palette weaves together elements of bohemian charm, eclectic allure and highlights the art of craft. Olive greens and mustard yellow shades are prominent hues within the Journey palette, with dusty blues and rich burgundy as accents.

Mid-tones are best used on all four walls, particularly in bedrooms and living spaces, but even introducing one or two of these colours through paint or accessories can help to keep your home in the current era. Just changing one space is inspiring and helps you connect and influence emotions through colour.

Need help with colour?

Whether you’re thinking of using colours from one of the Dulux Colour Forecast 2024 palettes, or just looking for the right white, we know that choosing colours can be tricky. Our Dulux colour services can help you with your decision and give you confidence in your colour choice. Trial Dulux colours first with Dulux Sample Pots, Stickers and A4 Colour Swatches.

Muse A colourful array of hues predominantly within the midtone, the Dulux Muse palette evokes a nostalgic feeling and celebrates iconic designers and design details from the 60’s through to the 80’s, with a particular focus on the glamorous and adventurous 70’s. The trend strikes the perfect balance between the expressive colours featured in postmodern interiors and the emerging modern hues in contemporary design, resulting in interior spaces that are timeless and pay homage to design icons from the past.

Solstice Dulux Solstice is a toasty palette of rich browns, clay and warm neutrals with a sun-loving yellow as an accent, designed to evoke a comforting, familiar and inviting feeling. A melting pot of Mediterranean, Scandinavian and African influence, the Dulux Solstice palette connects to the sun as its life force and serves as a reminder that as the days grow longer, better days are ahead. The trend is rich with organic and primitive shapes, with colours that wrap warmth around us to evoke feelings of security and strength.

■ Mid-tones work best when used on all four

walls, particularly in bedrooms and living spaces. Don’t forget ceilings and areas such as picture rails or dado rails, which also work well in mid-tone colours.

■ Before you start painting, ensure your new

colour scheme works with existing elements of your home that you can’t change easily like carpet, tiles, laminate or stone.

■ For colour accuracy, order A4 stickers

or sample pots from dulux.com.au and view your chosen colours in your home’s natural light conditions. Alternatively, Dulux has an online colour advice team and a Colour Design Service if you want a design professional to assist curating your space.
