We’re delighted that Dulux Australia will be the official Colour Partner for Decor + Design and the Australian International Furniture Fair (AIFF) in 2023. The theme for the 19^thedition of Australia’s premier interiors trade event is Elevate, so partnering with one of Australia’s most respected paint houses makes absolute sense.
