Welcome to “Colour Conscious,” our monthly deep dive into the colours that shape our surroundings. Together, we’ll explore how a single hue can transform spaces, define brands, and stir up emotions through thoughtful application and intentional design choices.
The Power of Red
From soft corals to commanding crimsons, this colour calls to mind feelings of passion, energy, and confidence. It energizes in a muted world, creates instant impact against fleeting trends, and captivates through bold presence.
In both interiors and branding, warm reds generate intimacy and warmth, making large spaces feel inviting and brands feel approachable. Deep reds provide sophistication and gravitas, giving rooms dramatic focus and telling customers they can trust your expertise.
A Few of Duelle Made’s Go-To Reds
In Interior Design
In Our Brands
Red’s remarkable intensity keeps drawing us back at Duelle Made, even though we often lean toward softer, more understated palettes. When we collaborate with classic, old world-inspired interior brands like Melanie Hay Design, this commanding colour pushes creative boundaries while still honouring each client’s distinctive vision.
This brand’s colour palette takes cues from natural textures and grounded earth tones. The rich, sophisticated reds she embraces evoke warmth, comfort, and security—the exact emotions her clients seek in their living spaces.
Next in Colour Conscious: We’ll turn our attention to brown—a shade we may be a little biased toward, since it’s one of Duelle Made’s primary brand colours. From soft taupe to deep espresso, brown’s grounding warmth and timeless versatility continue to inspire us. Follow along on Instagram @duellemade.
