It’s that time of year again, where we have eagerly been waiting for Dulux’s announcement of their Colour of the Year for 2024. This year, we move away from the desert tones of Wild Wonder, and enter the sweet embrace of Sweet Embrace! Here at UK Tiles, we’re going to have a look at how to style Sweet Embrace with complementary tile textures, shades and finishes.
To learn more about this soothing shade and how you can engage with current interior design trends, carry on reading this article.
What is the Dulux Colour of the Year 2024?
For over two decades, the skilled colour experts over at Dulux have been picking a Colour of the Year that ‘matches the mood of the moment’ and speaks to global interior design trends. The Dulux team then creates new colour palettes to inspire spaces worldwide, whether they be for your home or business!
Previous years have seen colours like ‘Wild Wonder’ and ‘Bright Skies’, which continue to be loved year in, year out.
The selected shade for 2024 is ‘Sweet Embrace’, noted by Dulux as a ‘kind, delicate tone that brings a feeling of positivity to our lives.’ The story behind the shade is that it’s a tone which is meant to feel personal, warm and welcoming.
Alongside Sweet Embrace as a standalone shade, Dulux have created three colour stories to complement the comforting tones. These include a ‘calm’, ‘warm’ and ‘uplifting’ set of paint shades, all of which enable Sweet Embrace to be a welcome addition to your colour scheme. We’ve chosen our favourite wall and floor tile to match each colour story below!
