Four new ways to transform your living room
The latest colour palettes to renew your living room with Dulux Colour of the Year 2020
Living room ideas with Colour of the Year 2020
Is your living room ready for a revamp? We’ll show you how to set the moods of the moment with our four inspiring new colour palettes. With increasingly digitalized lives and busier schedules we have a growing desire to take a step back and contemplate what makes us human. Tap into what makes you who you are with palettes that create a home for Care, Play, Meaning or Creativity.
1. The soothing modern living room
Tranquil Dawn is at the heart of this sophisticated room, with an air of understated luxury.
Its soft pastel shade gives a calm, flowing background to help you slow down and take better care of yourself and your environment. For a modern take on a period feature, paint a high horizontal stripe in a warm sandy tone with a hint of spice.
Decorate with linear metallic accessories – black metals and angular lamp stands will give a sleek look. Add textured cushions and blankets for comfort and finish with a matching rug to tie all the colours together.

F8.12.71 / 45YY 53/151
2. The joyful bright living room
Bright living room in stripes
Bring in positivity with vibrant tones reminiscent of childhood wonder. Multicoloured stripes are stylishly disruptive. Use pink and yellow in the highest stripes for a rising sense of lighthearted playfulness.
Paint Tranquil Dawn in the biggest block at the bottom of your wall to balance the intensity of the pink and yellow. Add fun pops of vivid colour with ottomans in pink and blue. Accessorize with a mustard rug that matches the tone on your wall to unify your décor.

F9.44.69 / 50YY 51/519
3. The calming minimal living room
Minimal living room in taupe
Create a peaceful space to relax and reflect. A gentle taupe is the perfect background to enjoy mellow evenings. Complement with a smooth chocolate shade on smaller wall spaces for contrast.
Stick to the essentials and decorate with unfussy accessories in natural wood and stone textures, for a serene minimal living room.
Natural and artificial light can change the way colours appear and the mood they set.

4. The expressive autumn living room
Autumn living room in dark green
Rediscover what’s important in life, bring friends and loved ones together in a welcoming home. A rich olive green reflects deep autumnal hues for a warm and inviting background to lively gatherings. Pair with a bold navy for added drama.
Accentuate the earthy theme with wooden furniture and woven pieces. Express your personality with holiday treasures and handcrafted accessories for interesting talking points.
