While there is a sense of safety in the familiar, we cannot ignore the call to break out and express our true selves. Comeback speaks to this innately creative desire, inspiring us to blend contemporary design cues with vintage pieces.
Vintage styles mix with contemporary pieces to create an eclectic look
Comeback blends eclectic style with vintage charm to create a rich and layered aesthetic that feels expressive in its maximalism, yet reassuringly familiar.
Living with tonal shades of blue helps to create a peaceful and calm space. Make your room feel larger by using lighter shades such as Dulux Lake Camp and Cameo Blue Half.
Design classics make a return
Borrowing from the past turns our focus to the design classics of the 1920s–1950s, such as the Bauhaus, and Arts and Crafts movements. The result? A blend of personality, heritage and sense of home.

Mt Maunganui is a midtone soft brown with a slight red undertone. It is a great option if you are looking to add a sense of warmth and earthiness to a space.
Sentimental throwbacks with flashes of 80s-inspired fun
Vibrant, clean colours like the striking Dulux Master Blue can create a key highlight and, in open spaces, help to divide the room into functional zones. Weave sentimental throwbacks with flashes of 80s-inspired fun.

Greens range from yellow citrus greens through to blue greens such as teals. Lighter muted greens can add a peaceful and relaxed feel to a room whilst citrus and brighter lime greens can liven up a space. Greens are versatile and easy to live with and can be used on the inside and outside of your home.

The Dulux Colour Forecast is about more than colour, it helps bring trends to life in your home through styling and accessories. Here we take you through key elements and styling tips for the Comeback trend.
Created an unexpected highlight
A rug can bring together all the colour elements in the room. Create an unexpected highlight with a traditional Persian style rug alongside modern retro styles. The look is surprisingly timeless.
Add a personal touch
An unusual mix of decor can be cleverly united through a common colour palette. We recommend varying blues and greens combined with fresh white and accents of purple, red and orange.
