Dulux, a name synonymous with innovation in paints, continues to shape interior design trends with its highly anticipated Colour Forecast for 2025. Known for its bold palettes and expert curation, Dulux’s latest forecast is segmented into three captivating themes - Still, Recollect, and Emerge - each telling a unique story that inspires thoughtful and stylish interiors.
Here’s a glimpse into these palettes and how you can bring them into your space.
For those seeking serenity, the Still palette offers a peaceful escape with soothing neutrals. Soft browns, warm creams, and gentle greys bring a sense of calm to any room, ideal for those who appreciate intentional, slower living.
The key to this palette is Studio Cream, a buttery yellow that brightens spaces without overpowering them. Paired with earthy tones like toffee and terracotta, it creates a warm and welcoming ambiance.
The colours reflect the eco-conscious movement. Paired with undyed textiles like wool and linen sitting alongside stone and ceramics, Still can be the ideal palette for those who appreciate craftsmanship and sustainability.
Tip: Layer contrasting textures like soft fabrics with stone or metal accents to create a sensory-rich space that’s both luxurious and relaxing.
Inspired by our desire to reconnect with heritage, Recollect evokes nostalgia with rich burgundies, wine tones, and earthy greens. This moodier palette is ideal for those who crave depth and character in their interiors, balancing old-world charm with modern glamour.
Shades like Mulled Wine and Sage Advice are perfect for creating intimate, sophisticated spaces - think plush dining rooms or cosy libraries. Paired with luxurious textures like velvet and chenille, paired with second-hand furniture, offer a sense of history and storytelling.
Tip: Don’t shy away from bold patterns and mirrored finishes. Mixing classic stripes, florals, and glossy accents adds an element of glamour that elevates your room’s personality.
If you're looking for a breath of fresh air, the Emerge palette brings optimism and creativity to life. With a vibrant mix of pastels, greens, and muted blues, it’s perfect for spaces that need a burst of energy - such as kitchens or playrooms.
Standout shades like Justice, a soft lilac, and Lemon Blast, a zesty yellow-green, inject playfulness into any space. Add in some rounded furniture shapes and free-flowing lines to make the room much more whimsical.
Tip: Use the pastel tones on walls and bring in bolder accents with furnishings. Incorporate playful, modular furniture for a dynamic, uplifting vibe.
Dulux’s 2025 Colour Forecast offers endless inspiration, allowing homeowners to mix and match hues that resonate with their personal style. Whether you seek calm, nostalgia, or vibrancy, these palettes help you create spaces that feel timeless and uniquely yours.
