1. PAINT THE WINDOWS TO CATCH THE LIGHT
This colour has metameric qualities, meaning it changes the depth of the pink undertones as different light strengths hit it throughout the day, altering the overall aesthetic. In the early morning light, it appears crisper, yet becomes a more blush pink during the brightness of midday, and increasingly violet in the evening.
2. COLOUR DRENCH FOR A COHESIVE SCHEME
This beautifully versatile shade is an easy option to colour-drench the entire room. Colour drenching, as the name suggests, is the action of literally drenching the whole room in one chosen shade to create a sense of calm cohesion.
3. EMBRACE ON-TREND OMBRE
Marianne tells us that ombre is making a comeback in 2024, and quite honestly anything she says about decorating is a trend to watch closely – because her job is to forecast how we decorate our homes.
4. USE AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO WHITE
As we've discovered for the recent trend of painting skirting boards the same colour as walls there are no rules when it comes to painting woodwork. We suggest using 'Sweet Embrace' instead of the best white paints to as a warmer neutral to your overall decorating scheme.
WHAT IS THE DULUX COLOUR OF THE YEAR?
"The phenomenon of Dulux Color of the Year, spurred on by Pantone's Color of the Year, is focused on interiors and how we use colour," continues Marianne. "It has become a mark on the calendar for designers and those who love interiors. It's a chance for us to share with the world what we know about colour and how colour can transform spaces and help you feel better, giving you what you want and what you need from your home."
