Wall
Matauri Bay
Matauri Bay is a midtone yellow-green that is ideal for use as an accent inside or as features outside. It is perfect for pairing with a crisp white such as Ōkārito.
Fresh outlook
Work from home beauty
What better way to inspire you than to have a beautiful colour as your work from home backdrop? Add artwork that transports you to another place, perfect for procrastination daydreaming - and your favourite vessels to fill with fresh flowers.
This combined with the warmth of soft terracotta in Dulux Motueka makes a desk space so inviting you'll want to have your afternoon tea there even on your days off.
The colourful outdoors
Colour isn't just for making your indoor spaces feel bright and happy, if your exterior is lacking inspiration bring color outside through furniture and decor. Featuring colour in your outdoor spaces helps connect your interior to your exterior, creating a cohesive home. Take inspiration from your interior palette and paint items such as planters in bold hues, adding your favourite colours to make your own colourful outdoors.
