foreword Our third time putting together this book of inspiring homes, and what can we say? Well, plenty actually. The latest edition of the Dulux Inspiration Gallery is nothing short of spectacular. Once again, we have worked in the winning qualities that make this book a success for the 3rd edition and now we are pleased to present it. A world of creative paint applications awaits you on this inspirational journey. First things first, we need to give a great shout-out to our Dulux Preferred Designers (DPD). They have been with us through the process and with their expertise; they have shown how paint is more than just a coat of colour. As you will see, the homes under their charge have been radically transformed. By using Dulux paint products exclusively, these DPDs really pile on the visual splendour with their skilled eye in pairing colours and design details. If you’ve enjoyed our previous features on paint ideas where we had much fun compiling it, you are in for another treat this year. We dive into the flattering ways to make your home Instagram-worthy and show you how colour can be comforting. It’s definitely necessary to slow down our hectic lifestyles from time to time with some R&R colours. We also take you through the layered wonders of special effects paint, which will totally change your one-dimensional perspective of paint. Here comes the most exciting and comprehensive section: the Dulux Preferred Designers home showcases. As per previous years, we have compiled a visual feast of living spaces to set you in the right design direction. Can’t wait to get started? We hope you have a wonderful time exploring the captivating world of paint with Dulux Inspiration Gallery 2017. Enjoy and happy painting with Dulux!
Cheers, The Dulux Inspiration Gallery Team
