Dulux trend forecasters expect warm, grounded colours that convey feelings of security and comfort to dominate decorating trends this winter.
“The cooler months call for richer hues and cosy textures, and never more so than in a year when most people’s worlds have been turned upside down,” Andrea Lucena-Orr, Dulux colour and communications manager said.
“There’s a collective yearning for reassurance and a return to simpler times. We want our homes to provide comfort, a sense of safety and to remind us of better days ahead,” she explained. This will be expressed in other ways too – plush, comfy seating, handcrafted furniture with an artisanal feel and a greater focus on ‘purposeful decorating’ rather than just decorating to make an aesthetic statement.
