Feeling connected to nature is good for the soul. And, whether you live in the countryside or the city, you can bring the freshness of the natural world into your home with greenery, daylight and colour.
Dulux Colour of the Year 2022, Bright Skies™, is a light, airy and revitalizing tone that can instantly refresh your living space. It works naturally with Greenhouse colours – a palette bursting with hues inspired by the world around us, from mossy greens to natural neutrals.
Whether you choose to use just one or two shades, or layer several tones together, these colour combinations will give any room a breath of fresh air and bring in the positive effects of nature.
1. Turn your ceiling into a sky
Ceilings are often painted crisp white, but why not opt for colour? Bright Skies™ is the perfect choice for overhead, giving a light and airy sense of limitless space in any room. Try combining it with cool, calm soft green walls from the Greenhouse palette for a fresh, wraparound feel that will make the most of the daylight.
2. Get connected with colour
Give a bedroom a fresh and open feel with Dulux Colour of the Year and Greenhouse colours. By using soft greens and grey blues on the lower walls and woodwork, and painting an upper section in Bright Skies™, you’ll draw the eye upwards and create a feeling of extra height. Mix in natural accessories and greenery for the ultimate oasis.
3. Play with colour in the kitchen
Open shelves have more impact in a kitchen or dining area when they’re mounted on a colourful wall. Here, Greenhouse colours set against Dulux Colour of the Year 2022, Bright Skies™, create a refreshing backdrop to a simple shelving unit. These tones of sky, grass, leaves and plants are also ideal for setting off accessories in natural materials, such as wood and handcrafted pieces of ceramicware.
4. Bring the outside into a study
Airy natural colours work well in a home office as they soften what can be a high-tech space. Opt for the lighter tones of the Greenhouse palette to make the most of natural daylight, and frame your workspace with a border of Dulux Colour of the Year 2022, Bright Skies™, to add an uplifting, refreshing feel.
