Spice Up Your Home with the Dulux Ambiance Trend Colours


Looking for a warm and stylish refresh for your home? The Dulux Colour of the Year 2019, Spiced Honey, offers a versatile palette of rich neutrals that can create a range of moods, from tranquil to luxurious. This blog post explores how to use these stunning shades in different rooms.

Creating Versatile Moods with Spiced Honey: Spiced Honey, a warm, earthy tone, acts as the foundation for this versatile palette. Combining two or three shades from the palette in a single room creates a sophisticated backdrop. Adding bold accents with vertical or horizontal stripes can further enhance the look, adding a touch of drama and polish.

A Sophisticated Bedroom Retreat: In a bedroom, balance grounded colours with a crisp finish. Combine earthy greys, minks, and ochres with a defining stripe of burgundy. Horizontal bands of darker tones on the lower walls contrasted with lighter shades above create a luxurious flow. Mid-century furniture and warm-toned accessories complete the elegant, inviting atmosphere.

A Welcoming Living Room: Create a warm and inviting living room by layering Spiced Honey walls with stripes of warm grey and blush pink, transitioning to a light cream ceiling. This rich backdrop complements furniture in greys and mulberry pinks. Black accents and terracotta accessories add definition and an earthy touch.

A Simply Elegant Kitchen: Make a bold statement in the kitchen with contrasting colours. Intense blue cabinets pop against gentle sand-coloured walls. A band of Spiced Honey adds definition against a stone grey upper wall. Copper accessories provide a striking finishing touch against the darker tones.


A Luxurious Lounge: Use Spiced Honey in different ways to create a cohesive yet distinct feel in adjoining living rooms. In one room, paint the lower wall and a band around the doors in Spiced Honey to highlight architectural features. In the other, use Spiced Honey on the entire wall, creating a metallic effect, and add a deep plum band at the ceiling for a touch of drama.

A Cozy Kitchen: Combine the intensity of Spiced Honey with soft white cabinets and rich burgundy accents on the upper walls and kitchen island. Using Spiced Honey on open shelving adds to the dramatic effect. Warm wood and industrial-inspired accessories complete the stylish yet relaxed look.
