The biggest colour trends for your home in 2022

Yellows

Optimistic and cheerful, yellow tones will bring the sunshine inside. Bold without being brash, yellow is the perfect colour for rooms that lack natural light, and teams as comfortably with fashion’s favourite greys as it does mix with other pastel shades to create a bright and happy feel in a room. Try ochre or mustard for a more muted take on this trend – a great choice for scatter cushions or lampshades to lift a living room or bedroom.

Sky Blues

As soon as Dulux picked Bright Skies Dulux Colour Of The Year 2022: Bright Skies™ as their Colour of the Year, it was clear that this fresh, summery shade would be a key look for homes in 2022. Airy and light, this is a colour that will revitalise any space – great with crisp white or sorbet shades, paired with pale wood furniture. Pale blues are both calming and inspiring, suggesting wide open spaces and an escape from the constraints of the past two years. Great for bathrooms, kitchens and bedrooms.

Calming Greens

A colour synonymous with tranquillity, muted greens create the most relaxing and peaceful spaces. Think chalky shades and soft period-inspired greens – both a perfect backdrop for botanical print wallpapers, statement houseplants and picture windows, bringing nature indoors. This is a trend perfect for spa-style bathrooms, to maximise the sense of wellbeing, or a home office to counteract busy days.

Warm Reds & Pink Tones

Comforting and warm, these are palettes that span rich Mediterranean reds, peaches, terracottas and pinks. Deep jewel tones and dusky shades are perfect for period homes. But you can give the look a modern twist by adding crisp white; team with warm wood for a rustic feel; or add to deep emerald and inky blues for a timeless, opulent look. It’s a look that’s as versatile as you want it to be – warm red tones are a great choice for dark, dramatic lounges or light and airy room dining rooms.

New Neutrals

Off-white shades move into new territories this year – with hints of pink and peach marking a shift away from cool greys. Versatile and timeless, they work in all kinds of rooms – from kitchen and bathroom to living space and loft bedroom. Team with almost any other colour to stamp your personality on a space – but choose milky, warm and comforting shades of white to make your home feel welcoming and cosy.
