Painting your home is a chance to refresh your space and express your style, but it shouldn't come at the cost of your health, or the planet. That's where Dulux interior paints come in, offering a vibrant palette of possibilities while minimising environmental impact. So, let's find out why low VOC paints are the sustainable option, how Dulux leads the way in sustainability, and how to create an attractive, eco-friendly home with the perfect Dulux paint for each room.

Is Low VOC Paint Eco-Friendly?

Yes, low VOC (volatile organic compounds) paint is significantly more eco-friendly than traditional paints. VOCs are chemicals that evaporate into the air during and after painting, contributing to indoor air pollution and potential health problems. Low-VOC paints significantly reduce these emissions, making them better for your family's health and the environment.

Painting with Purpose: Dulux Colours for Every Room in 2024

Let's delve into 2024 interior design trends and explore how Dulux paints can transform your space while reflecting your eco-conscious choices:

Living Room: Bring some of nature's atmosphere indoors with Dulux’s range of earthy-toned interior paints. Shades such as ‘Heart Wood’ or ‘Willow Tree’ are complimentary for your living space, as they are still within the neutral palette but add some colourful tones to your home. 

Bedroom: Adding some darker or warmer tones to your bedroom is very on trend for 2024, as it helps to create a relaxing space where you can unwind without stimulating your brain too much. Shades like ‘Sapphire Salute’ and ‘Soft Truffle’ will not only give your room that contemporary look but also help with a good night's sleep.

Kitchen: Add a touch of invigorating energy with Dulux's kitchen palette range. Choose bold pops of colour and brightness, such as the shades ‘Melon Sorbet’ or ‘Jasmine White’ to inspire creativity in the kitchen.

Home Office: Enhance your focus and productivity by incorporating soothing neutral tones such as 'Vanilla Sundae' and 'Copper Blush.' These colours not only create a calm atmosphere but also contribute to an efficient and stylish workspace.
