Combining two contrasting finishes in a single piece creates a one-of-a-kind showstopper.

Unexpected contrasts can add instant wow factor to your interiors, and this Brutalist-inspired table is a great example created by interior designer/stylist and creative consultant for Dulux Bree Leech and interiors stylist and writer Heather Nette King.

“We used Dulux Design Concrete Effect and Copper Effect because we love the idea of combining a rough, industrial finish with something beautiful and luxe,” says Nette King.

“These finishes can be applied in so many different ways – try using Copper Effect to highlight architectural details or Concrete Effect on fireplace surrounds or columns.” says Leech.

“For this project we had great fun scouring our local op shop for cheap second-hand pots, which we transformed with Dulux Metal Shimmer Effect,” says Vidal. “We love the subtle, refined colours – they have a gentle shimmer that’s best appreciated up close,” says Langan.

Here, she transformed a little girl’s room into a more grown-up space by creating an eye-catching mural wall with Dulux Gold Effect in Gold Vintage and four co-ordinating Dulux colours. “Gold is perfect for adding a touch of glamour,” she says. “The key is to use small doses and balance it out with soft colours and simple furnishings.”

Steve Cordony

Interior Stylist and Style Director at-large for Belle magazine @stevecordony

Set the scene for a modern luxe look with a textural concrete wall strip.

Known for the sophisticated, beautifully layered homes he creates, Steve Cordony has a passion for concrete. “It’s incredibly versatile and I love its raw, earthy feel,” says the interior stylist and style director-at-large for Belle magazine.

Here, Cordony used Dulux Concrete Effect to create a graphic wall strip. “The beauty of this finish is that you can make it as soft or as richly textured as you like,” he says. “With no experience and just a few coats of paint, you can create the look of a beautifully textured concrete wall.”
