BS Fixings, your trusted partner for all your decorating needs, is excited to share the latest colour trends that are set to inspire your interior spaces in 2024. This year, both Dulux and Pantone have released their ‘Colour of the Year’, chosen by professionals and global trend experts to share colours that will help to dictate your design choices over the next few years.

Dulux unveiled its Colour of the Year as ‘Sweet Embrace™’ and Pantone, celebrating the 25th anniversary of its Colour of the Year program, selected ‘Peach Fuzz’. These two choices fall under the same colour palette, both exuding warmth and softness to complement any room. Sweet Embrace™ is a gentle blossom pink, whilst Peach Fuzz is a delicate shade that sits between pink and orange. Both of these shades have been chosen for their versatility, whether you want to create a feature wall or add a subtle background hue that ties your interior décor together. These colours encourage creativity and personal expression and can be introduced into your space to create a warm and uplifting ambience. From wall colours to furniture and stylistic pieces, you can utilise Sweet Embrace™’ and Peach Fuzz to suit your personal taste and style.

If you’re wanting to redecorate your home but don’t know where to start, here are some tips to help you embrace colours with confidence:

  1. Start Small: if you are hesitant about committing to a new colour, begin with small accents that you can easily swap out. Cushions, throws, and wall art are great ways to introduce a new shade without overwhelming your space.
  2. Create a Focal Point: use colours such as Sweet Embrace™’ and Peach Fuzz to create a focal point. This could be a feature wall, a statement piece of furniture, or a bespoke decorative item.
  3. Balance with Neutrals: if you do create a focal point, you might want to pair the chosen colour with more neutral tones to ensure the room looks balanced. Neutral tones will help the main colour to stand out without dominating the room.
  4. Mix and Match: don’t be afraid to mix colours from Dulux or Pantone into your existing decor. These two pinkish shades will match perfectly with natural greens, soft yellows, and other muted tones.
  5. Layer with Textures: to bring the room together, combine soft hues with a variety of textures like plush cushions, throws, smooth metals, and wooden accents, to add depth and interest to your rooms.
  6. Experiment with Lighting: lighting can significantly affect how a colour looks in a space. If you are painting a wall, test a small patch first to see how different light sources impact the colour at various times of the day.
