One Living Room, Four Feelings: How to Use New Dulux Blues in Your Home

Image
You know how our living rooms have to do everything? One minute it’s a calm space for a cup of tea, the next it’s a noisy playground for the kids, and then it’s where the whole family gathers for a movie. It’s a lot to ask of one room. I was just looking at the new Dulux Colour of Year 2026 and had a thought. What if, instead of one look, my living room could have a few different feelings? The theme is all about blue, and not just one blue, but a whole family of them. And honestly, I'm obsessed with the possibilities.

We live in a paradise, and there's a growing feeling that we all need to do our part to keep it that way. We try to remember our reusable bags, we try to save electricity... but have you ever stopped to think about the paint on your walls? It sounds like a small thing, I know. But think about it. That "new paint smell" we're so used to? A lot of the time, that's from chemicals called VOCs being released into the air. The air that we and our families breathe every single day. This is where the idea of eco friendly paint comes in. It’s not just about what’s good for the planet; it’s a...

Feeling Stuck? How to Choose New House Paint Colours in Sri Lanka

Have you ever stood in your living room and just felt… a bit bored with it? You want a change, a fresh new feel, but the thought of choosing paint is overwhelming. With so many house paint colours out there, where do you even begin? It’s a feeling I know well. But while looking for some ideas the other day, I came across the Dulux Sri Lanka website and found a few things that made the whole process feel so much simpler. A Basic Beginning Point for Inspiration Initially, I saw the Colours of the Year 2026, called "Rhythms of Blue." This includes three stunning shades of blue: bright blue, pale blue or airy blue and dark blue or soothing. Instead of looking at thousands of colours, seeing a curated palette like this is a great starting point. It’s like having a designer’s cheat sheet to see what’s new and stylish. More Than Just a Pretty Colour But a home in Sri Lanka needs more than just a pretty colour, right? Our walls have to deal with our strong sun and heavy rains. That’...
