Repair

Get the look with Julia Green

Repair helps us revive our relationship with nature and embrace a more holistic and ‘circular’ way of living. Our comfortable, carefree existence begins to fade into the past, as we adopt a wabi-sabi sensibility that appreciates the beauty in faults and flaws. Artwork: ‘Vessel in Monochrome’ by Antoinette Ferwerda. Colour Featured: Dulux New Neutral.

It’s time to heal our rifts with nature

As we heal our rifts with nature, we fill our spaces with humble and authentic tones, inviting in an interplay of beautiful imperfections. The worn and weathered is reborn alongside the new and modern. Optimism and peace is restored.

Styling tip

Mix your well-loved vintage pieces with new, modern furniture items to create a cosy, character-filled space. It’s the flea market finds and hand-me-down furniture that help to build stories and memories.

The Repair Palette

Soft, natural greens intermingle with authentic neutrals and earthy hues of cinnamon and sienna. A pop of yellow adds an optimistic note to this natural and holistic palette. Colours displayed should be used as a guide for your colour selection. To ensure best accuracy, test your colour choice at home by ordering Dulux Sample Pots and A4 Colour Swatches.

Cosy spaces

Hues such as Cinnamon Sand can create a warm but natural colour palette that is perfect in a cosy space. Natural linens, rough painted brick and weathered architectural details create a homely and relaxed atmosphere.

Cinnamon Sand

Cinnamon Sand is a beautiful warm brown-based orange which is muted, however full of life and joy. This colour is great for a cooler south-facing room or a formal space or study. This works well with a neutral white such as Natural White™ and a deep warm charcoal such as Namadji®.

Allowing personality to shine

Repair is about using what you have and making it special through the process of mixing and matching with newer, modern pieces. Look for well-loved vintage items that may need some extra care spent to bring them back to life. Use a backdrop of neutral hues such as Ōhai Half, allowing furniture details to shine.

Plasticine

Plasticine is a dramatic and grounding green feature colour. It is a perfect match for earthy hues and a harmonious partner for materials of timber and stone. It pairs well with colours such as the warm Natural White™, neutral Scallywag and light green Spring Burst Half.

Get the look with the Repair trend

The Dulux Colour Forecast is about more than colour, it helps bring trends to life in your home through styling and accessories. Here we take you through key elements and styling tips for the Repair trend.

Warmth in texture

While bedlinen is a beautiful way to create layers in your bedroom, there are plenty of other materials that can create interest. Textured linen, rattan, vintage rugs and worn concrete come together for a lovely layered effect.
