Like the coming and going of the seasons some things are inevitable and so the time has come once again for Dulux to announce their colour of the year for 2020. Every year top international design experts come together to discuss the global trends that will affect us all in the year ahead and from these insights Dulux puts together a paint colour trend. As well as the main colour they also create four palettes that are designed to perfectly complement this colour.
As a new decade starts it gives people a fresh start and a new dawn. Tranquil Dawn takes inspiration from the colours of the early morning to create an inspiring new shade of green that works well with the other colour palettes to create a versatile colour scheme that will look great in any home.
The four colour palettes
Like the colours of the year before it, Tranquil Dawn can look different when combined with other colour palettes and Dulux have put together four example palettes that each create a different mood.
A Home for Creativity
Warm, rich and intense tones combine for a creative colour scheme that is both cosy, creative and warm. Combine with antique furniture, sumptuous fabrics and bespoke artwork to create an elegant style and use Tranquil Dawn as a diffusing shade to help add a calming influence.
A Home for Care
Relaxed, welcoming and softer than the previous colour palette, A Home for Care is full of soft neutrals and pale pastel colours that combine well with colours such as Tranquil Dawn as well as the Spiced Honey the 2019 colour of the year.
A Home for Play
Add some vibrant energy to play spaces and children’s bedrooms with the Home for Play colourway. This fun and bold palette combines bright and colourful shades with softer more neutral colours to create a real sense of energy and fun.
A Home for Meaning
If you are looking to create a minimalist style that strips things back to the simple essentials, then this is the palette for you. Create a moody look with darker tones or really focus on the lighter shades to create an airy and bright kitchen or living area.
Now in the 17th year the Dulux colour of the year helps predict upcoming trends for the year ahead and give consumers ideas for redecorating their home. Whether simply looking to modernise a kitchen or carrying out an extensive refurbishment project, the Dulux colour palettes will help you to create a beautiful home whether you want a place to relax, work or play.
Tranquil Dawn is inspired by nature and helps you take a step back from the hectic pace of the digital age. Don’t forget to add furnishings to match your home and complement your chosen colour palette to create an effortless and timeless style in your home.
