Dulux colour and communications manager Andrea Lucena-Orr said the Restore palette was perfect for a winter makeover as the colours will be easy to use in most spaces due to their natural appeal.<\/p>\n
\u201cDulux Natural Flora and Hog Bristle Half have a warmth that will create a comforting and restful space, perfect for bedrooms. The deeper colours of Dulux Ferry, Finnegan and Oboe D\u2019Amore are well suited as accents for communal areas, like the living room or entry, to help liven up these high-traffic spaces.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo add a scheme, the more muted, neutral colours of Dulux 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\u2019t create a sense of feeling overwhelmed.\u201d<\/p>\n
To showcase these idyllic hues in the home environment, Dulux colour forecaster and stylist Bree Leech undertook a multi-room makeover in a renovated \u201980s brick home, integrating colours from the Restore palette.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe chose to make over three rooms \u2013 a toddler\u2019s bedroom and two entry areas \u2013 showing the versatility of the palette to energise different interior spaces,\u201d Andrea said.<\/p>\n
One room in two ways, the toddler\u2019s 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 soften the space.<\/p>\n \u201cBoth 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,\u201d Bree said.<\/p>\n \u201cTo add even more texture and warmth to our toddler\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n With the two entries, the intention was to make both spaces feel more inviting, sophisticated and memorable for the homeowners as well as first time or returning guests.<\/p>\n \u201cThe entries have gorgeous, exposed beams and curved arched doorways; we wanted to celebrate both architectural features and did so through colour and decor,\u201d Andrea said.<\/p>\n \u201cUsing the gorgeous Dulux Ferry on the ceiling in the main entry and Finnegan as an accent in the secondary, we paired each with striking art and handmade ceramics![\"\"](\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/DULUX_WINTER_05_MAI_68779.jpg\")
