Dulux Unveils its 2024 Colour of The Year – Here’s How We’re Styling It

As a leading authority in colour, Dulux has been successfully forecasting trending tones for over 20 years, with the brand's highly-anticipated 'Colour of The Year' announcement gaining a cult interest from countless industry specialists & home enthusiasts.

Basing its prediction on global trends, the title of this year's most sought-after shade has been awarded to 'Sweet Embrace', a muted medley of violet and blush pink which the brand describes as 'a delicate tone that brings a feeling of positivity to our lives.'


Throughout recent years we have seen pink tones soar in popularity, making their way into the catalogues of all the top interior manufacturers, so it comes as no surprise that this versatile shade has taken the crown for the year 2024.

And with so many ways to incorporate this playful palette into your living space, embracing the trend is a no-brainer in our eyes!


How To Subtly Incorporate Sweet Embrace Into Your Space:

The thought of committing to shade like Sweet Embrace may seem daunting initially… but with recent colour trends forcing many of us out of our comfort zones, we have seen that even the most minimalist of interiors can benefit from a subtle flourish of colour whilst still maintaining their balance.

If you love the idea of a clean feeling, minimalist space, but find yourself tempted to branch out with a delicate splash of colour, a pastel shade such as Sweet Embrace will be your best friend!

We understand that a full kitchen or bathroom splashback may be overkill if your home predominantly favours neutral tones, so in this case, we suggest opting for a couple of recessed shelves.

Not only will recessed shelves maximise your space by offering extra storage without the need for furniture, but they also provide the perfect pared-back focal point.

Top tip: For a quick and easy ambience enhancement, simply add an LED lighting strip to your recessed shelves – forming the perfect lighting for date night in the kitchen, or an indulgent bubble bath!

For those wishing to truly embrace this year's trend-champion, we have compiled our top pink picks to inspire your next renovation project:
