Dulux: Breathe life into your home with these bold colours

Colour plays a pivotal role in shaping the ambience and mood of your space. While neutral and muted tones are the obvious choice for many homeowners, bold colours are becoming popular because they stimulate energy and happiness in a space.

It’s easy to shy away from using bold colours in your home, but when used with a neutral base, they complement each other perfectly. Bold colours create a warm and inviting feeling in a space, perfect for spaces where you entertain guests and enjoy meals.

Energise your kitchen

’Warm hues such as reds, oranges and yellows create a sense of energy and spontaneity that can stimulate conversation and appetite, making them ideal for your kitchen. Bold colours can transform your kitchen from a neutral space into a social hub”, advises Palesa Ramaisa, Dulux Colour Expert.

It’s important to consider the mood and atmosphere you want to create in each room. Warm and vibrant colours such as Dulux’s Colour of the Year, True Joy™, complemented by its palettes, can uplift a space. In contrast, cool and calming colours like blues and greens can create a tranquil and relaxing environment.

Create a bold living room 

With the Colour of the Year True Joy™, you can create a wide range of different and effective colour combinations – use the colour as an accent wall or feature wall to add visual appeal and wow factor to your living room.

One of the most effective ways to incorporate colour into your home is a brightly coloured accent wall, a vibrant piece of furniture, or a bold piece of artwork. It creates a focal point that can serve as a conversation starter and set the tone of the space. If you are not into bold and bright colours but want to try something different, start by incorporating small accents and accessories. As you become more comfortable, you can gradually introduce larger elements such as wall colours and furniture,” says Ramaisa.

Allow yourself to leap into a world full of bold and joyful shades that will create a space that feels active and exciting, somewhere that can be delightfully spontaneous, taking you on an exciting journey out of your comfort zone.
