IN STYLE WITH TAUBMANS 2026 DOWN TO EARTH COLOUR PALETTE

At Taubmans, we believe colour should feel personal, something that reflects your space, your style, and the times we’re living in.

With over 20 years of colour expertise, Fiona Dawson brings heart and creativity to her role as Taubmans National Colour and Design Manager, thoughtfully blending paint colours with the

textures, finishes, and trends that make a home feel truly personal. To shape Taubmans 2026 palette, Fiona invited key industry leaders from design, retail, floristry, flooring, beauty and beyond to collaborate, resulting in a collection that reflects real Australian lifestyles and complements the finishes found in everyday homes.

The result? Down to Earth, a versatile mix of neutrals, accents and whites that balance trend with timelessness. Inspired by the complex interplay of global design shifts and local influences, this palette offers a fresh yet enduring foundation for your living spaces.

However you use colour, Taubmans is here to help you make confident choices that feel fresh, grounded and unmistakably yours.

ANNALYSE VAMVALIS

The palette feels perfectly aligned with where design is heading, warm, grounded and authentic. These tones complement our work at Hume Doors & Timber beautifully, reflecting the natural textures and honest materials that are the forefront of our products.

DOWN TO EARTH

THE 2026 COLOUR TRENDS PALETTE

Colour trends are shaped by a complex, interplay of micro and macro influences-from global shifts in architecture and design to economic factors that impact how we want to experience the spaces where we live and work.

At Taubmans, we understand the importance of staying ahead of colour trends. But we also believe that choosing the right colours should be simple and intuitive.

For 2026, we’ve taken a fresh approach. We assembled a panel of industry experts from complementary fields including design, retail, floristry, laminates, flooring and stone. Together with our National Colour & Design Manager, Fiona Dawson, they participated in a dedicated workshop designed to harness the brightest minds in colour and craft a palette that reflects a truly Australian, whole-of-home solution. Taubmans is your trusted partner in paint and colour.

Our 2026 palette, Down to Earth, features a curated selection of neutrals, accents, and whites designed not only to create on-trend spaces, but to maintain a down-to-earth sense of freshness and longevity in your living spaces.
