Prominent Paints: Youthful energy: colour-forward inspiration for Gen Z spaces

This Youth Day, we’re celebrating the bold, expressive spirit of South Africa’s youth through colour! At Prominent Paints, we believe your space should be as dynamic and individual as you are, whether you’re studying, working remotely, or curating your first apartment, colour has the power to set the tone and spark creativity.

Gen Zs are rewriting the rules of interior design with an anything-goes approach that favours authenticity over perfection. Think dopamine decor, funky furniture shapes, clashing prints, and – of course – a fearless use of paint.

Vibrant walls = instant personality

Why settle for beige when you can go bold? A statement wall in a vivid hue like signal red, chrome yellow and cosmos adds instant energy. For something more fluid, colour-blocking or geometric patterns in contrasting shades can give small spaces maximum personality. Prominent Paints interior ranges are tint-able to just about any colour you can dream up – perfect for bringing your mood board to life.

Play with painted furniture.

Upcycling is on-trend and budget-friendly. Grab a tin of Prominent Premium Enamel or our durable Alkyd-based Primer and give old desks, chairs or bedside tables a Gen Z glow-up. Match with accent colours on your walls or go completely offbeat for that curated-clash effect.

Patterns and accessories that Pop

Paint isn’t just for walls. Use painter’s tape to create quirky checkerboards, stripes, or mural-style details on wardrobes, headboards or even plant pots. Pair your painted base with textured throws, vintage finds, and LED lighting to finish the look.

Make it yours

The best part about paint is that it’s never permanent. So go ahead and experiment. Express your youthful energy, change your mind, remix your colours and know that Prominent Paints is here to back every bold brushstroke.

Let’s celebrate the vibrancy of a generation that isn’t afraid to stand out-starting with their walls.
