Tips For Choosing Artwork - The Dulux Colour Forecast 2025

Transform Your Home with my Wildlife and Bird Artwork and the 2025 Dulux Colour Forecast

As an Australian wildlife artist specialising in photorealistic drawings and acrylic paintings, I’ve always been inspired by the natural world — its vibrant beauty, intricate details, and the way it connects us to something bigger. Whether it’s the captivating gaze of a tiger or the vibrant feathers of an azure kingfisher, my artwork is designed to bring a sense of wonder and serenity into your home. And what better way to showcase these pieces than by pairing them with the stunning tones of the 2025 Dulux Colour Forecast?

The Dulux 2025 Colour Forecast is all about creating harmonious, meaningful spaces with colours that evoke emotion and connection. Let’s explore how my wildlife and bird artwork can complement these colour trends and transform your interiors into breathtaking sanctuaries of style and nature.

1. Soft Pastels for Uplifting Energy

The "Emerge" palette is filled with pared-back pastels that bring a feel-good energy to any room. With soft greens, mauves, and a deep red, this palette creates joy with a gentle touch. Picture my drawing of a young snow leopard framed in white or light wood, displayed against paint colour Clay Bake or Cornstalk. Or my Endangered: Koala print against paint colour Lavenbrun. The gentle tones of the palette enhance the delicate details of the artworks, making them the perfect centrepiece for spaces that inspire positivity and calm.

2. Soothing Neutrals for a Calm Retreat

Guided by our need to slow down and find balance, the "Still" palette features calming neutrals that nourish and comfort. Imagine my African black rhino drawing with its dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, framed in natural timber and hung on a wall painted in paint colour Antique White or Grainfield. The muted tones of the palette allow the powerful details of the rhino to shine, creating a serene and timeless atmosphere.

3. Moody Tones for Nostalgic Sophistication

The "Recollect" palette evokes a sense of nostalgia and reflection with yellow-based greens, deep olive, and rich wine shades. My European kingfisher artwork, with its vivid blue and orange feathers and peridot glow of sunlit moss, becomes even more striking when paired with these moody tones. Picture the artwork in a sleek black or gold frame, displayed against a deep olive wall. The interplay of colours creates an elegant and sophisticated space that tells a story of nature’s beauty.

Tips for Framing and Styling Artwork in Situ

·         Choose Complementary Frames: Frames can make or break the presentation of your artwork. Natural wood frames pair well with earthy tones, while sleek black or metallic frames enhance jewel tones and monochrome art.

·         Consider Wall Colour: Think about how the wall colour will interact with the artwork. A contrasting colour will make the art pop, while a tonal match creates a more cohesive look.

·         Placement is Key: Position your artwork at eye level for maximum impact and consider lighting to highlight the details of the piece.

·         Mix and Match: Combine larger statement pieces with smaller artworks to create a gallery wall that tells a story.
