Autumn styling tips & paint predictions from Dulux

March 22, 2019 Leave a Comment

FacebookPinEmailTweet

Titled โ€˜Repair,โ€™ the latest instalment of the 2019 Dulux Colour Forecast has arrived in time for autumn and the nature inspired palette is full of gorgeous green and gold shades. โ€œRepair is my favourite palette of 2019. Its rich greens and accent of burnished gold feels comforting and uplifting and together they create a wonderful backdrop for interesting collections and spaces that tell a story. The colours are drawn from nature and plug into our collective desire to slow down and reconnect with the natural world,โ€ says Dulux colour and communications manager, Andrea Lucena-Orr.

Paint colours: Dulux Wash & Wear in Sea Creature, Plasticine and China White

โ€œStriking combinations, such as verdant green, chocolate, umber and sienna set a playful, optimistic tone, while soft, green-based grey has emerged as the neutral โ€“ and the ideal pairing for these nature-based hues,โ€ says Andrea.

And thereโ€™s no doubt that the cooler months demand a different approach inside โ€“ particularly as we’re inclined to spend more time there. โ€œEvenings snuggled up on the sofa or entertaining friends around the dinner table take on a whole new appeal. The colours and textures we surround ourselves with play a huge role in creating that warm and cocooning vibe that we crave,โ€ says Andrea.

Paint colours: Dulux Wash & Wear in Ohai Half and China White

โ€œThereโ€™s a sense of quiet luxury to this look, but it doesnโ€™t come down to extravagant finishes or accessories,โ€ says Andrea who suggests layering natural colours and textures to recreate it. Think richly grained timber, aged leather, cork and velvet. โ€œThereโ€™s also a mindful appreciation of the humble and handcrafted simple pieces โ€“ whether theyโ€™ve been collected on your travels or found in vintage stores,โ€ says Andrea who shares her autumn styling tips below.

ANDREA’S AUTUMN STYLING TIPS

Combine natural finishes: Warm timber, leather and woven rattan can create a cosy and eclectic feel.

Add a twist: Paint a bedhead or feature wall in an exhilarating shade of blue-green or ochre to spice up this paletteโ€™s warm green and earthy tones.

Create interesting displays: Scour antiques fairs and second-hand stores for unusual collectibles.

Layer up textures and prints: Think cosy knits, aged leather, velvets and block prints.

Introduce concrete: This finish will add an interesting twist to green tones and timber. Use Dulux Concrete Effect paint to upcycle small accessories or to create a feature wall.

Set up a cosy corner: A comfortable armchair or a window seat with a few soft cushions is the perfect spot to spend an autumn afternoon with a good book.

Dial down the lighting: Reduce harsh overhead lighting at night and set a cosy mood with a variety of table and floor lamps.

Finish off with greenery: A trailing devilโ€™s ivy on a bookshelf or a large, potted long-leaf fig in the corner of a room can provide a sense of calm and reinforce a natural element.

Letterbox kinder egg deliveries from a friend, dressing changes without a flinch and refusing to nap despite all the bribes (check the face on him in pic 3!).

Thanks for all your care and messages/comments for this tired and shaken up mama! Now very relieved and grateful ๐Ÿ™
Before & after It's not just the award winning de Before & after

It's not just the award winning designer houses that get us excited here. It's also the beloved family homes which are renovated and extended to make them fit for purpose so people can continue to live where they love ๐Ÿค—

@inspiredspacesaus helped her clients with teenage kids transform this house in Sydney's Hills District inside and out, making it their forever home. 

Due to the nature of the block they could only extend sideways and then gave it street appeal with render, new windows and doors.

See inside on the blog now, via link in bio. It was completely overhauled!

Oh what a night. Thankfully Hornsby Hospital were as amazing as always and we avoided stitches. All taped and glued  back together and now to keep him calm for the next few days (๐Ÿคช) and watch for signs of concussion. 

Bravest little patient ever. Yes I've had a ๐Ÿท

Funny how we go into super organised mama mode in times like these. Grabbed dinosaurs, textas and scrapbook on the way out in case we had a long wait!

UPDATE: thanks for all the love! Charlie is so well this morning after a big sleep!

The new @studio.xox ONLY sells Australian brands. Like @nood_co coloured basins, lead-free eco brass from @faucetstrommen and @lindseywherrett's  ceramic basins made by hand in Tassie.

And as for their Sydney showroom (they also sell online): WOW.

Do I recommend a timber vanity top? A big fat NOP Do I recommend a timber vanity top?

A big fat NOPE! ๐Ÿ’ง 

Which is why we have recently covered ours with a Caesarstone top (thanks to @justinplace_sydney for the advice and supply) and the sweet RELIEF of not having to worry about this high traffic area anymore, I'm telling you!๐Ÿค—

Doesn't matter what they tell you or how many times it's sealed, I'm not sure it's a great idea in a room which is so, well, wet!

I love having the warmth of timber in the bathroom and it's a beautiful piece, but timber on the top? Never again.

Ours probably lasted a year (if that) before it started to go downhill (and we want a good decade out of a bathroom, right?!). 2.5 years on, everything else in this bathroom looks virtually brand new and the water marked vanity top was really letting the side down and making me sad!

But I'm so pleased with this solution, I have to say! Took the plumber less than an hour to remove the sink, install the top and connect the sink back up. We didn't need to move the tap and it isn't too close to the basin.

The kids are allowed to brush their teeth and wash their hands (liquid soap ๐Ÿฅด) in here again and I can leave my hair straightener on there with gay abandon ๐Ÿ˜†

The reflective surface (which I can clean with whatever I like!๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป) brightens the room up too!

Next week I'll tell you what I really think of my brass tile trim too ๐Ÿ˜‰
