Taking place from Wednesday 16th – Friday 18th July 2025 at Melbourne Exhibition Centre, Decor + Design and the Australian International Furniture Fair (AIFF) will celebrate all 
the essentials of design with the theme of Elements; from curves to lines to space – and colour!
It’s only fitting that one of Australia’s most respected paint brands has again provided colour inspiration. We’re delighted that Dulux Australia is once again the official Colour Partner for Decor + Design and the Green Design Show in 2025. Co-located, The Australian International Furniture Fair will also draw inspiration from the palette.
The team at Dulux are experts in forecasting new colour directions. The Dulux Colour Forecast 2025 is bursting with inspiration across three key trends: Emerge (left), Still and Recollect.
Dulux Colour and Communications Manager Andrea Lucena-Orr will be delivering a colour seminar at the International Seminar Series which takes place at the show. She says that “colour can be a powerful antidote to lift spirits and provide a sense of comfort and warmth, which is evident with this year’s colour palettes.”
Watch Out for Dulux’s ‘Ripe Rhubarb’
Every year we choose hero colours for both Decor + Design and The Australian International Furniture Fair (AIFF), which reflect the zeitgeist. For Decor + Design this year it’s Ripe Rhubarb from the Dulux 2025 Emerge palette. For The Australian International Furniture Fair we have created our own Hubba Bubba Purple (below) which is a bubblegum pop of colour inspired by both the Emerge palette and international trends.
Ripe Rhubarb and Hubba Bubba Purple will be juxtaposed against Dulux’s Hidden Depths, a deep rich green that we have chosen as the signature colour for the co-located Green Design Show.
The combined colour palette will create a soothing and stylish environment for Australia’s premier and networking destination for the design and furniture industry. Start planning your trip now!
