Dulux Colour of the Year 2023
Was it what you were expecting colour lovers? A glowing neutral, conjuring thoughts of sun scorched wheat fields or bales of hay rolled and ready for harvest.
Wild Wonder - Less shock and awe more reflection and holistic calm. I am rather in wonder of you.
Having long been swept along with the cooler grey shades of neutral and given creams and beiges a wide birth in our own home, I am definitely feeling more than on board with warming softer hues, starting with the little toilet tomorrow. The littlest room in the house feels like a good place to test a new era in paint.
I have no doubt that this tone will creep into home interior fashions by summer next year. And we will see food styling take on an elegance and softness after the last couple of years being dominated by harsh solid colour and even harsher light. Bur fear not if you are as much in love as ever with the brightest rainbow colours. I have something for you later in the week.
How to create your own Wild Wonder style
I have taken inspiration from the gentler and slightly greener undertone in the paint colour in this curated edit of backdrop designs.
These will bring a sense of the natural world while nurturing the connection between reader and image.
I created this brand board for a contemporary homeware brand Saint Bay and I could see this Wild Wonder bringing a natural feeling of late summer sunshine into their colour palette perfectly.
If you would like your own brand board I would be delighted. Pop me a message below.
