The Dulux Colour Forecast for 2024 marks its 25th anniversary, presenting three captivating colour palettes—Solstice, Journey, and Muse. These palettes resonate with a collective yearning for positivity and nurturing spaces within our homes. Central to the theme are mid-toned hues, featuring rich golds, olive greens, and reddish browns that exude warmth while maintaining distinct identities across each palette.
This year's forecast taps into the pulse of the times, acknowledging the prevalent financial strain and the subsequent surge in home-based entertainment. Despite the allure of international travel, Australians are embracing the comfort and convenience of entertaining at home. Consequently, the palettes for 2024 delve deeper into mid-tone shades, evoking emotions of warmth, security, and resilience in response to these shifting lifestyle dynamics.
Solstice
"Solstice starts with inspiration from the pared-back Scandinavian design style, but adds to this a Mediterranean and desert influence – from the Australian outback to the African savannah, the palette brings together warm colours with cooler accents and detail such as braiding and primitive sculptural forms." - Dulux, 2024
Journey
"Journey is about the story of an interior – from bringing together global influences from our travels to reflecting on the history of our ancestry through objects and items handed down through time, the trend is maximalist in nature with an eclectic palette to reflect this." - Dulux, 2024
Muse
"Muse is a trend that strikes the perfect balance between nostalgia and modernity, resulting in spaces that are timeless and simultaneously contemporary, with a strong '70s influence and modern twists, Muse pays tribute to the design icons that have come before." - Dulux, 2024
