Over the past 18 months, our lives have been turned upside down, but we’ve also had time to rethink the way we live and reassess what’s really important. This year, our discussion went digital and we talked about colour trends, including:
- The expanding role of the home
- How nature is essential to our lives
- How the arts can bring us comfort and inspiration
- How important it is to embrace new voices and ideas for a brighter future
It’s these discussions that led to our key themes, open skies and a breath of fresh air. And from here, we were able to choose the Dulux Colour of the Year 2022.
Bright Skies™ is a light, airy and optimistic blue that’s good for the soul. It promises to open up and revitalise your home. Around it, we’ve created four easy-to-use colour palettes, so you can refresh your spaces with different colour combinations. Here are four ideas for you to try in your home:
1. Combine Dulux Colour of the Year 2022 with Workshop colours to create a vibrant space that works for living, working, relaxing and more
When a living area needs to switch in an instant from home to office to classroom, we need a flexible do-it-all space. Used with Bright Skies™, the multicoloured Workshop palette with its combination of light, uplifting tones, can help you create an inspirational backdrop for any activity.

2. Bring the positive effects of nature into a dining room with the fresh greens and blues of the Greenhouse palette
With the light, natural tones of the Greenhouse palette, combined with Colour of the Year 2022, Bright Skies™, it’s easy to bring the freshness of the outdoors inside. In a rural location, these colours can complement the surroundings; in an urban space, they can help us feel in touch with nature.

3. Choose the soft, airy tones of the Studio palette with Colour of the Year 2022, Bright Skies™, for a soothing space that feels good for the soul
We all need somewhere to recharge and feel inspired; somewhere we can escape the everyday. Painting your walls with Studio colours can give a room a comfortable, consoling feel and, if you go for stripes, you’ll create a dramatic focal point too.
