WARM UP
Bringing warmth into your home aesthetically is an important step to transition from outdoor living to indoor living and entertaining during the cooler months. Dulux is setting the colour trend with its beautiful Restore palette – one of three colour palettes from the 2022 Dulux Colour Forecast.
THE COLOURS
The rich soothing colours of New Penny, Hog Bristle Half, Black Caviar and Natural Flora evoke a feeling of comfort and warmth.
Dulux colour and communications manager Andrea Lucena-Orr says the Restore palette is perfect for a winter makeover as the colours will be easy to use in most spaces due to their natural appeal. “Dulux Natural Flora and Hog Bristle Half have a warmth that will create a comforting and restful space, perfect for bedrooms,” she says.
“The deeper colours of Ferry, Finnegan and Oboe D’Amore are well suited as accents for communal areas, like the living room or entry, to help liven up these high-traff ic spaces.
“To add a scheme, the more muted, neutral colours of Rice Crop, Stowe White,

Opononi Double, Tranquil Retreat and Winter Terrace will be incredibly popular across all interiors this season as they sit back and shouldn’t create a sense of feeling overwhelmed.”
To showcase these hues in the home environment, Dulux colour forecaster and stylist Bree Leech undertook a multi-room makeover in a renovated 1980s brick home.
“We chose to make over three rooms – a toddler’s bedroom and two entry areas –

showing the versatility of the palette to energise diff erent interior spaces,” she says.
One room in two ways, the toddler’s room was completely reinvigorated with the option of New Penny or Natural Flora as the feature colour, paired with Hog Bristle Half, a warm white to help soft en the space.
“Both accent colours add interest and make the bedroom more inspiring for a young child but are also colours that they can keep as they grow,” Ms Leech says.
“To add even more texture and warmth to our toddler’s space, we featured pale timber, woven cane and natural fabrics such as linen, cotton and wool; we also amped up the texture by adding a thick pile rug to the already carpeted floor.”

WINTER COLOUR TIPS
• When considering colours for your walls, always factor in existing fittings and decor that will remain once the makeover is complete. This may be flooring, cabinetry, window colour, furniture. Knowing what colours and textures will remain will help drive your colour decisions with paint. • Also determine whether your room relies on a lot of natural or artificial light to help add warmth and atmosphere to the space.
For example, south facing rooms will do well with warmer colours to off er comfort.
If the space faces north, you may want to select soft er, cooler colours in the palette to keep that sense of light and brightness. • For those looking to integrate the Restore palette in their own homes, start with a lighter colour from the palette to provide a natural base, then add deeper and richer colours such as earthy greens, red/browns and charcoal to bring some depth and interest.
• Paint is not just for walls – try it out on décor and accessories like ceramic sculptures, pictures frames and lamps. This is a subtle but impactful way to add new life to a room, especially for those who may not feel ready to inject colour on a larger scale. • Always test colours before you purchase your paint to ensure you’re happy with the final colour choice. Dulux sample pots are available in hardware stores nationwide or via the Dulux website. Leave your painted samples up for at least two or three days to ensure the colour(s) work in your space and under diff erent lighting conditions, both natural and artificial and view in diff erent weather conditions, for example, bright sunny day versus a dull grey day.
