This guide will walk you through exactly how to use each shade in your home for a designer-approved, cohesive finish. Paired with images of the palette and inspirational interiors, you’ll see how these colours work together to elevate any space.
- White Dune – The Perfect Base for a Light & Airy Feel
A soft, warm white, Dulux White Dune provides the ideal foundation for your home. Use it as the main wall and ceiling colour to create an airy, timeless backdrop that works in any space. This versatile shade keeps your home feeling light and open while allowing the deeper hues in the palette to shine.
✅ Where to Use It:
-
Walls and ceilings throughout the home for a clean and cohesive look
-
Hallways and transitional spaces to keep areas feeling bright
-
Kitchen backsplash and benchtops (when using stone or tiles in a similar tone)
2. Pancake Mix – Subtle Warmth & Soft Contrast
For a soft contrast that adds warmth without overwhelming, Dulux Pancake Mix is a fantastic option. Instead of standard white trims, painting architraves, skirting boards, and internal doors in this gentle beige adds subtle depth and a more tailored feel.
✅ Where to Use It:
-
Trims, skirting boards, and internal doors for a soft contrast against White Dune
-
Kitchen cabinetry for a warm and inviting aesthetic
-
Window frames and archways to introduce definition without overpowering
3. Herbalist – A touch of nature for a fresh & organic look
A muted sage green, Dulux Herbalist brings a natural, calming energy to your home. This shade pairs beautifully with timber accents and neutral tones, making it a great option for built-in elements and cabinetry.
✅ Where to Use It:
-
Kitchen island cabinetry to add a subtle, earthy contrast
-
Built-in shelving units in living areas or home offices for a nature-inspired feel
-
Mudrooms or laundry room cabinetry for a fresh, functional space
4. Feather Soft – A cosy neutral that grounds the space
A deeper, warm neutral, Dulux Feather Soft helps create a sense of stability and sophistication. This tone works well for built-in storage, custom joinery, and even furniture pieces to introduce depth without feeling heavy.
✅ Where to Use It:
-
Wardrobes and built-in storage for a refined, seamless look
-
Kitchen and bathroom cabinetry to balance warm and cool tones
-
Bookshelves and media units for a custom-designed aesthetic
5. Blue Rhapsody – A rich accent with depth & sophistication
For an elegant contrast, Dulux Blue Rhapsody provides a deep, moody navy that adds a timeless and luxurious feel to a space. Instead of using it as a feature wall, consider incorporating it in cabinetry, furniture, or paneling to create a sophisticated statement.
✅ Where to Use It:
-
Kitchen island or lower cabinetry to contrast with lighter tones
-
Bathroom vanities for a bold yet classic design
-
Custom-built storage or office cabinetry to bring in a refined richness
