Bring balance to your home with seashore colour

In today’s high-tech, high-stress world, it can be challenging to do what we know is best for our wellbeing. Achieving better balance comes from feeling in tune with the regular rhythms of nature and, at home, we need a space that reflects that natural momentum. 

Our Flow palette is made up of soft, fluid tones that are inspired by the seashore – shell pink, pebble grey, sea blue. Used alongside Dulux Colour of the Year, Wild Wonder^TM (50YY 49/191 Winter’s Silence), they are ideal for creating a space with a sense of balance.

A mix of light and dark shades, the Flow palette offers endless potential for experimenting with paint effects and color-blocking and, because these are warm seashore tones, they work well even in rooms with little natural light.

Create a balanced living room

The fluid tones in our Flow palette can bring clarity to a busy family space, such as a living room. Creating a split wall effect that tops pale lilac with a soft white brings instant balance, while a thin band of Dulux Colour of the Year, 2023 Wild Wonder^TM (50YY 49/191 Winter’s Silence), adds warmth and visual interest.

Open up a small bedroom

Be clever with color in a compact bedroom to make the space feel bigger. Walls painted in soft neutrals from our Flow palette help make this room feel expansive, while a horizon line in Wild Wonder^TM (50YY 49/191 Winter’s Silence) draws the eye upwards to create the illusion of space. These are tones that work brilliantly with natural light, bringing warmth and balance, whatever the time of day.

Use color for zoning

It’s easy to experiment with zoning when you’re working with one cohesive palette. Here, alongside a wall painted in a soft blue, a lighter shade is used to define the kitchen area – an effect emphasized with a stripe of Wild Wonder^TM (50YY 49/191 Winter’s Silence). Because the colors are toning and complementary, the scheme feels fluid and balanced.

Here, a soft blue feature wall reflects the natural light, while a pale lilac and Dulux Colour of the Year, Wild Wonder^TM (50YY 49/191 Winter’s Silence), add warmth and visual interest.
