Simplifying the art of combining paint colours, two stylists break out their brushes to share their take on how to live your best life with the Dulux® Colours of New Zealand® collection.

Dulux colour ambassador Michelle Halford
This Dulux colour palette provides a warm, soothing starting point for a calm, sophisticated sanctuary. The neutral hues are carried through to the sofa and chair, the soft curves and velvet of which lend a luxe feel to the space. They’re offset by the clean lines of the travertine coffee table, which blends in beautifully and introduces additional texture. Sculptural extras in wood, ceramic and brass form elegant finishing touches.

The stylist
Dulux colour ambassador Evie Kemp
When styling a space with several bold shades, choose colours that share depth and intensity — it’s an exciting way to pick paints that can make even the most unexpected combination work harmoniously. Here, the furnishings, homeware and artwork echo the paint, creating balance and stopping any one colour from dominating. Gold is used as an accent to highlight key pieces and lighten things up.
