Muted colours and calming, softer hues will be the dominant trend in Australian homes this year, according to the Dulux Colour Forecast 2025.
Dulux predicts that rich burgundies and wine hues will become more prominent throughout residential interior design, alongside an increased use of greens including olive, sage and vibrant yellow-green.
“During times of instability, such as the current cost of living crisis and ongoing overseas conflicts, reduced consumer sentiment tends to see colour trends shift less dramatically,” Colour and Communications Manager Andrea Lucena-Orr says.
“However, colour can be a powerful antidote to lift spirits and provide a sense of comfort and warmth, which is evident with this year’s colour palettes”, she adds.
“There is a sense to slow down and appreciate life’s everyday moments, to look for joy in our surroundings and find comfort in reminiscing about times when we felt safe and secure.
“These shifts have informed the three Colour Forecast palette trends for 2025 in a relevant way for Australian interiors.”
Lucina-Orr suggests that one of the most significant shifts this year is the increase in warm neutrals across the three palettes.
“During uncertain times we often see a move towards muted colours and calming, softer hues that help make us feel grounded and provide a sense of relief from everyday stresses.”
