The time has come to nurture and regenerate. To surrender to that urge for escape and to find refuge in the beautiful simplicity of nature. As we disconnect from the harsh white filters of the digital sphere, reconnect with the elements of nature: verdant earth, clean air, natural light.

Cultivate’s nature-inspired palette combats the crush of city living with its soothing calmness

Rejuvenate and Inspire

Home is no longer a place to rest and recover, it's somewhere to rejuvenate and inspire. We seek out innovative ways to bring elements of the natural world into our interiors to encourage personal growth. The Cultivate palette is a calm and gentle layering of greens that reinforces our connection to nature.

Living with green in your home is such a refreshing thing to experience. The ambience is soothing and restful, perfect for combatting the chaos of the modern world.

Embrace slow living

In Cultivate we embrace the romance of slow living, taking pleasure in nature and our ability to nurture, grow and sustain ourselves in simple and small ways. Colours displayed should be used as a guide for your colour selection.

Personal wellbeing

Personal wellbeing comes to the fore and we seek out the soothing, calm refuge of home where we can rest, re-focus and regenerate. Harmonious influences see modern Japanese minimalism blend with natural green hues offset by enlivening plum and uplifting yellow.

Connect to nature

Get the look with the Cultivate trend

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 Cultivate trend.

Embrace a mix of Japanese patterns

Embrace a mix of Japanese patterns inspired by botanical motifs, traditional florals and origami folds. Layer your rugs and textiles with a common theme to create an interesting feature.

Trend of transparency

We see the trend of transparency emerging as a strong direction in design. The use of coloured glass or recycled coloured plastics is uplifting and optimistic. They capture an abundance of light to give the appearance of weightlessness.

Bring the essence of our 2020 trends to your home using Dulux Wash&Wear®. Only our formulas are designed to create the iconic colours shown here every time.
