The cooler months of winter call for rich hues and cosy textures.
Our Retreat palette from the Dulux Colour Forecast 2021, consists of earthy and muted tones drawn from nature; oceanic blues and nourishing greens to create a comforting and secure feel in the home.
With plenty of natural light and space, this bedroom ticks all the boxes. The only thing missing is some personality and tactile elements to create interest. The easiest way to change the mood is by adding colour. The deep blue of Lake Brunner and soft neutral hue of Mt Aspiring Double transforms this bedroom into a quiet and comforting space.
To make the space feel more inviting, consider adding some layers to your home such as warm rugs, cosy cushions and snuggly woollen blankets.
A neutral grey creates a soft and contemporary look. Pairing a deep blue and warm white such as Dulux Remuera helps balance the earthy colours.

Adding textures like the dusty blue rug and stone hue cupboard helps to create a cosy and comfortable haven. The pale greige of Mt Aspiring Double on the ceiling and windows softens the contrast with the deep blue.
Express yourself through accessories and inspiring artwork. Don’t be afraid to mix and match pieces from another room as long as they serve a purpose and fit with your colour palette.
