Autumn is here – a time of year when we gravitate indoors as the days get shorter and the evenings turn crisp. As we head into the cooler months, we want our homes to feel cosy and inviting – a space where we can relax with the ones we love while at the same time providing a front-row seat to the beauty of the changing seasons outside.
This Autumn, Dulux colour forecasters predict the warm neutrals and muted yellow greens in Connect, one of three palettes identified in the Dulux Colour Forecast 2023, will take centre stage. Together, these colours can create a calm, earthy vibe that’s perfect for laid-back entertaining and family gatherings as the weather cools whilst blurring the lines between inside and out.
“The Dulux Connect palette is filled with beautiful earth-based neutrals that are so easy to live in and decorate within our homes,” says Andrea Lucena-Orr, Dulux Colour and Communications Manager.
“They speak to our growing passion for craftsmanship, sustainability and living more simply, and create the relaxed and cocooning feeling we crave from our homes in the autumn months. They are also extremely versatile and work with various architectural styles, adding warmth and colour to contemporary interiors or enhancing the character of period homes.”
Armed with the Dulux Connect palette, you too can transform your home for Autumn. Here are the top five tips from the experts:
• Up the texture: For a cosy and comfortable feel, mix soft-touch, tactile fabrics such as linens, velvets, corduroy, shearling, and soft leather.
• Take in the view: Do you have a beautiful backyard outlook? Make it a highlight by keeping window coverings to a minimum or dispensing with them altogether.
• Wrap the room: For a truly enveloping feeling, run your chosen room colour onto the ceiling as well.
• Go big with rugs: Furniture in large, openplan spaces can sometimes look lost – define clear living and dining zones by adding large floor rugs.
• Take it outside: The earthy, natural colours in the Dulux Connect palette also work beautifully on a façade, balcony or outdoor entertaining area. Using them inside and out helps visually connect your interior and exterior.
