Dulux 2020 Colour Forecast

The time has come for us to nurture and regenerate. To surrender to that urge for escape and to find refuge in the beautiful simplicity of nature. As we disconnect from the harsh white filters of the digital sphere, we find ourselves reconnecting with the very elements of nature: verdant earth, clean air, natural light.

In Cultivate we embrace the romance of slow living, taking pleasure in nature and our ability to nurture, grow and sustain ourselves in simple and small ways. Personal wellbeing comes to the fore and we seek out the soothing, calm refuge of home where we can rest, re-focus and regenerate. Harmonious influences see modern Japanese minimalism blend with natural green hues offset by enlivening plum and uplifting yellow.

Home is no longer a place to rest and recover, it's somewhere to rejuvenate and inspire. We seek out innovative ways to bring elements of the natural world into our interiors to encourage personal growth. The Cultivate palette is a calm and gentle layering of greens that reinforces our connection to nature.

We see the trend of transparency emerging as a strong direction in design. The use of coloured glass or recycled coloured plastics feel uplifting in their optimism. They capture an abundance of light and appear almost weightless.
