2019 SEASONAL TRENDS
Autumn
Derived from the Repair palette from the Dulux Colour Forecast 2019, this trend is all about creating cosy, joyful spaces that nurture and inspire.
It's time to repair our connection with nature
Striking combinations, such as verdant green, chocolate, umber and sienna set a playful, optimistic tone, while soft, green-based grey has emerged as the neutral and the ideal pairing for these nature-based hues.
The Repair palette explores a mindful appreciation of the humble and handcrafted simple pieces – whether they’ve been collected on your travels or found in vintage stores
When autumn arrives and the temperature drops, many of us get the urge to refresh our interiors knowing we will be spending more time inside.
Complete the look with warm timber tones and buttery leathers in furniture and accessories.
Cabinets
Cornstalk
Yellows are vibrant and reflective and can create a happy and bright environment. Yellow is warm and is perfectly suited for south-facing spaces. Yellows can be used in casual living areas, hallways and entry spaces to create a light-filled bright setting.
Autumn styling tips
Combine natural finishes: Warm timber, leather and woven rattan can create a cosy and eclectic feel.
Add a twist: Paint a bedhead or feature wall in an exhilarating shade of blue-green or ochre to spice up this palette’s warm greens and earthy tones.
Create interesting displays: Scour antique fairs and second-hand stores for unusual collectibles.
Layer up textures and prints: Think cosy knits, aged leather, velvets and block prints.
Set up a cosy corner: A comfortable armchair or a window seat with a few soft cushions is the perfect spot to spend an Autumn’s afternoon with a good book.
Finish off with greenery: A trailing devil’s ivy on a bookshelf or a large, potted long-leaf fig in the corner of a room can provide a sense of calmness and reinforce a natural element.
Wall
Kohukohunui
The lovely subtle green of Kohukohunui is a perfect choice for both interiors and exteriors. This versatile hue works well with a variety of colours including warm whites and neutrals such as Southern Alps and Haast Half as well as deeper greens such as Musket Bay and Punga Cove.
