Colour Blocking
We've teamed up with Dulux to showcase the best ways to use paint colour blocking in your home. Whether you're aiming for a bold statement, accentuating special features or instantly revitalising your space, this decorative trend has you covered.
Colour-blocking brings a dynamic dimension to interior design. It allows you to infuse your personality and vibrancy into your space while creating visual interest and balance. Why not try experimenting with contrasting or complementary colours for your walls, furniture, or decor?
Ways to Work Colour Blocking at Home
Reinvent the classic look with one of these inspired ideas.
Softly does it
To enhance a room that requires peace and clarity with a dash of inspiration, contrast soft tones and use various geometric patterns to stimulate the mind. A great combination for an office or workspace, that’s both invigorating and soothing, is Mint Macaroon and Pure Brilliant White.
Well-toned
Would you believe that a colour block room could help you sink into serenity and focus? Tones and shades of a similar colour offer depth and harmony, creating the perfect environment for work or sleep. Blend tonal colours like Emerald Glade, Overtly Olive and White Cotton for soothing results.
Top Tips
