We’re delighted that Dulux Australia is once again the official Colour Partner for Decor + Design and the Green Design Show in 2025. The theme for the 21st edition of Australia’s premier interiors trade event is Elements, celebrating an inspiring mix of heritage, emerging and truly sustainable brands.
Taking place from Wednesday 16th – Friday 18th July 2025 at Melbourne Exhibition Centre, Decor + Design will celebrate all 
the essential elements of design, from curves to lines and space, plus all the vital elements of the cosmos. It’s only fitting that one of Australia’s most respected paint brands has again provided colour inspiration!
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 Decor + Design in July. 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 a hero colour for Decor + Design, which reflects the zeitgeist. This year it’s Ripe Rhubarb from the Dulux 2025 Emerge palette.
The beautiful muted colours of the Emerge palette are grounding and provide a warm, welcoming feel to any space in your home. Ripe Rhubarb 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; Australia’s only truly sustainable design show.
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.
