Inspired by extensive global trends research, the 2019 Dulux Colour Forecast ‘Filter’ is a multi-faceted collection that draws together soothing neutrals, exhilarating brights and
deep, decadent hues that hint at the grace of a bygone era. It comprises four carefully curated themes: Repair, Wholeself, Legacy and Identity.
Design trends for 2019 will be influenced by a desire for stillness, simplicity and honesty.
Expect to see organic shapes, frayed edges, contrasting textures and re-purposed vintage pieces set against a backdrop of earthy neutrals, saturated greens and citrus brights – a
palette perfect for nurturing and empowering and as diverse as the stories we have to tell.
“This year’s theme, Filter, speaks to our collective craving for individuality and personal expression,” says Dulux Colour Expert, Andrea Lucena-Orr. “It helps us mindfully tap out all the distractions and focus on the things that move and inspire us”.
Reflecting our desire to reconnect with nature and form a deeper understanding of our place in the world, the Repair palette is a collection of earthy neutrals, rich greens and spicy notes of cinnamon and sienna. A cocooning palette that’s very much grounded in nature – it hints at personal growth and fresh beginnings.
The Wholeself palette draws together gentle shades of mauve-grey, powdery pinks and touches of gold to create serene, calming interiors that allow us to take a breath and tune back into our own rhythm.
Legacy is a palette of intense, saturated hues such as deep purple, russet and aqua, offset by brown-based pinks. These create an elegance and theatre of a bygone era moving into
a contemporary age.
The Identity palette speaks to the rule breaker in all of us. Clashing patterns, quirky combinations and no-holds-barred brights come to the fore, bringing with them a sense of optimism and cheer.
