08 MayColour Us Happy! Dulux Australia Brings Show Elements to Life


We’re delighted that Dulux Australia is our Official Colour Partner in 2025. It’s fitting that the theme for Decor + Design and The Australian International Furniture Fair (AIFF) 2025 is Elements – of which Dulux is an acknowledged master!

Taking place from Wednesday 16th – Friday 18th July 2025 at Melbourne Exhibition Centre, Decor + Design will celebrate the essential elements that inspire designers – Botanica, Ether, Terra and Cosmos.

The team at Dulux are experts at harnessing the elements and forecasting new colour directions. The Dulux Colour Forecast 2025 is bursting with inspiration across three key trends: Emerge, Still and Recollect. We’ve chosen colours like Ripe Rhubarb from the Dulux 2025 Emerge palette and Hidden Depths as signature colours at the event.

Dulux Will Bring Our 2025 ‘Elements’ Theme to Life

The colours will be interwoven throughout the show, in colour blocking on signage and also throughout features such as the stunning ‘Elements’ artwork (above) which will be on show at the entrance to the exhibition. This artwork tells a story of those four key elements – Botanica, Terra, Cosmos and Ether – that inspire design in so many ways. We’ve also harnessed the palette in digital

Premium Paint – Proudly Made in Australia

Dulux has been helping Australians change their homes and communities since 1918. Over the decades, they’ve become the nation’s favourite paint and have been voted the most trusted paint brand in Australia for the last nine years in a row (Reader’s Digest, 2021). Dulux’s innovation, premium quality and even the famous ‘Dulux Dog’ have made them an Australian icon.

Dulux paints are famously formulated to last, with colours that look freshly painted for years. The company constantly innovates and launches new products, from paints that can survive Australia’s extreme weather to paints with antibacterial properties.

The Dulux paint you buy in Australia is also made in Australia. Dulux has facilities in both Victoria and Queensland, and their plant in Merrifield in Melbourne’s north is the largest paint factory in Australia and New Zealand. Opened in 2018, it features world-class technology to provide Australians with the very highest quality paint.

The 21st edition of Australia’s longest-running interior design trade event will take place at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre from Wednesday 16th – Friday 18th July 2025.
