The Flourish palette — one of three colour palettes from the 2022 Dulux Colour Forecast — harmoniously blends the warm, natural shades of Dulux Whāngārā and Sandfly Point Half with the bold, rich tones of Dulux Silo Park and Pōhutu Geyser, to create a welcoming and comforting space that people can retreat to and relax in over the cooler autumn months.

To help showcase the palette and inspire the use of colour in interiors, Dulux Colour Forecaster and stylist Bree Leech undertook a makeover in an open plan living, kitchen and dining space using the Flourish palette. Leech incorporated soft pinks, warm whites and rich reds from the palette to help build on the room’s existing character and features.

“The space is a beautiful, light-filled modern extension in a family home with great architectural details — we wanted to showcase this by using the natural, muted tones from the Flourish palette on the wall as a tonal backdrop to the stronger accent colour and then punctuate the interior with bold, daring colours in the decor to create a more distinct look and feel,” Leech says.
