Colour Forecast 2018

Reflect

The age of intelligence may be upon us, but our romance with the past lives on. As smart technology reshapes our lives, we take the opportunity to reflect on the design icons of our past. Visiting history’s best moments with fresh eyes, we borrow from the legacies of our luminaries to refashion our future. Colours featured: Dulux Chainmail (walls and trim), Oath (ceiling) and Lexicon® Half (door).

Reflect

Classic form meets opulent style

The rapid progress of new technology is tempered by the simple genius of classic architecture and design. The balance plays out in an opulent fusion of eclectic classic style. Hints of '70s glamour are enlivened by sassy bursts of '90s style. Yet understated luxury exudes an aura of elegant timelessness.

Colour tip

Don’t be afraid to use deep moody blues to add sophistication and elegance to your favourite room.

A moody opulence that is bold and elegantly timeless

Spaces in the Reflect palette exude a moody opulence that is bold in statement and elegantly timeless. Classic form meets opulent style with eclectic mixes from different design eras.

Traditional colours are brought together in combinations that stay true to the classics while modern design twists are added through unexpected décor, furnishings and art. Metallic accents add to the luxurious feel of the trend.

Casper White Quarter

The subtle grey undertone in Casper White Quarter makes for a refreshing contrast against the deep charcoal of Chainmail. For a little zest throw the uplifting yellow-green of Organic Olive into the mix.

Door

Casper White Quarter

A slightly warmer white, Casper White Quarter is a great neutral white that can be used as a main wall colour, trim or an exterior colour. This soft and flexible white works well with many colours including bold dark and lighter shades.

Create the look: Reflect

This is my dream ‘room of one’s own’ – a modern take on an elegant space. The bronze feature wall ups the glam factor, and the mix of furniture and accessories from the 50s to now keeps the feeling fresh and contemporary. Lighting would be hung low, and kept dim at all times. Heather Nette King heathernetteking.com.au
