Life may feel a little slower, but each moment is enriched by building new connections with those around us.
Reset a sense of closeness
As we draw back into the comfort of our homes, we explore vivid recollections of adventure and discovery.
A subtle playful retro influence can be seen in styling and colour combinations.
Stay upbeat with bold tones
Stay upbeat with the stronger colours in the Reset palette. Bolder tones lift interiors to brighten your outlook. Vibrant pops of fun retro colour hint at '70s nostalgia.
An eclectic mix of old and new mesh together creating a happy space to energise your home.
Personalise your space
Infuse furniture, objects and mementos to add character to your interior.
We focus on family living which means furniture is functional, durable and generous in shape and form. Layering quilted fabrics can offer extra cosiness and comfort.

Add pops of colour
White is versatile and harmonises beautifully with a variety of surfaces, balancing cool concrete against warm timber.
Add pops of colour by selecting soft furnishings and decorator items with accents from the Reset palette such as Dulux Cook Strait and spicy Dulux Hot Chillie.

Nourish. Be subtle. Be different.
Enjoy the moments where quilted materials and subtle hues transform into an inspiring space. Embrace lighter hues to create room for statement pieces.
Retreat to an inner sanctum of peace
Take your well-loved traditions and layer them with a personal flair. Stormy blues and greys can provide a sense of calmness and tranquility.
Mix and match
Apply Dulux Cardrona to walls and ceilings in a modern home. For lower ceilings use Dulux Southern Alps to help change the perspective on ceiling height. After selecting a wall colour, artwork can guide the ideal colour accents to use within the room.
Mix your decor style with existing furniture to help unify the colour palette.
