Dulux Trend: RESTORE

DULUX TREND: RESTORE

After such an unusual few years, this year’s Dulux Trend is like no other. While your home has always been a place of respite, comfort levels are of particular focus now more than ever before. We all want to surround ourselves with comforting pieces, emphasising that our home is our cocoon in which we can truly readjust, reassure, and relax.

Restore is all about embracing this new seasonal shift, restoring your soul by surrounding yourself with all the creature comforts you want and need.
Think organic fibres and raw materials, encouraging a connection to the natural world, bringing back that tactility so many of us have found ourselves devoid of, with neutral tones and soft hues to create a calming space.

Find out how you can incorporate the Dulux Restore Trend in your own home.

NATURAL TEXTURES

Your sense of touch is more powerful than you might think, which is why it’s so important to surround yourself with comforting textures, most notably those derived from mother nature herself. Organic textures are the perfect way to bring those calm, restful vibes into your space, reminding you to stay connected to the natural world and take time to look away from the screen.

CALM BEFORE THE STORM CANVAS ART PRINT

Create contrast by pairing smooth textures like marble with raw timber and unstructured linen, or even textured stone or ceramic pieces. For a real standout look, contrast natural textiles with the smoothness of velvet, allowing each texture to sing on its own. Balance everything out with pops of greenery and soft florals such as olive branches, gum leaves and white orchids, breathing some much-needed warm energy into your space.

COOLING COLOURS

The Restore palette by Dulux is a simple one, and that’s certainly no mistake. We’re going back to basics here with monochromatic shades and neutral hues, focusing on cool undertones such as grey and soft blue to truly translate a relaxed, tranquil vibe. Think of soft morning sunlight hitting these neutral-toned pieces, reminding you to take a deep breath before you take on each day.

If you’re not a fan of cool undertones or simply want to bring more to your space, balance them out with warm hues, such as beige, nude, and warm orange-brown. It can be as simple as a vessel or cushion, or you can make it the centrepiece with a sofa or armchair.

FUNCTIONAL FORMS

No human is perfect, so why should your space be expected as such? Embrace the imperfect with furniture, décor and art pieces that have curves and interesting shapes, giving your space a relaxed, laidback feel with zero expectations.

BLAISE BOUCLE ARMCHAIR - ACADIA WHITE

That doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice on style, though. Be intentional with the details, focusing on functional furniture with chunky forms that flow with the body, letting you sink right in after a long day. Texture is key here as it can be utilised to create character without needing too much – just a few funky vessels or a side table piece will do the trick.
