In fact, Dulux colour specialists have created four inspiring palettes with varying moods and styles allowing you to take your pick on the mood you wish to create in your home.

Spiced Honey alongside tender pastel pink creates a place where you can pause, sit and drift away in the moment. Somewhere to find peace and silence. A home that provides a sense of care and tranquillity – the perfect place for daydreams. The honey shade of the Dulux Colour of the Year 2019 is the colour you have been looking for to add that touch of elegance or highlight your favourite feature in a room. This can be done by framing the windows of your room with the nourishing Spiced Honey. Using simple cotton and linen fabrics will also add to the relaxed atmosphere.

Another dreamy palette would be to pair the versatile Spiced Honey with a delicate mauve-pink and a soft grey. This palette works beautifully for a young child with a serene and soothing style that is soft, comforting and can only encourage a good night’s sleep. The precious Spiced Honey adds depth and introduces a golden tone to any room even with just a simple strip.

The warming colour can also be used to create a timeless and tranquil space. Spiced Honey paired with shades of pastel green and cream create a dreamy, ethereal look that oozes a sense of low-key elegance. A touch of Spiced Honey on kitchen cabinets instils a sophisticated look for a contemporary kitchen while also creating a focal point for the room. This sense of tranquillity can also be replicated in bedrooms.
