Colours to lift your mood: Dulux Colour Forecast 2024

It’s that time of the year when we excitedly anticipate Dulux’s Colour Forecast. For 2024 the indications are that we will see more Australian homes incorporating beautiful rich, mid-tone hues.

The effect is to uplift our mood by creating spaces that feel bright and joyful or calming and nurturing. Either way, the forecast affirms our increasing love affair with colour.

Walls in Jodhpurs and Tan Wagon

We continue with our desire to be nurtured and cocooned within our homes and the latest colour trend for interiors paint evokes warmth and comfort.

The palettes are earthy, rich and contemporary and will have design professionals and home renovators alike conjuring schemes and wondering how to incorporate them into their next project.

SOLSTICE

Softer organic colours with names such as Light Rice, Handmade Linen, Ripe Lemon and Potters Pink. The palette is inspired by mediterranean and desert landscape, affiliating us with nature and yielding comfort, strength and joy.
