Colours have a huge impact in our everyday lives. They are in everything we see and they have the power to shape our mood in a matter of seconds. So, when it comes to Dulux’s Colour of the Year, we know we’re in for something special!


Dulux have named Tranquil Dawn with this title, a soft, fluid shade that enjoys elements of the colours in the morning sky. Dulux have expressed that their intentions with this colour are to bring ‘The Human Touch’ into the home. In this current society, maybe we do all need to take a moment to appreciate nature’s finest morning skies and the beauty already existing in the vast amount of shades within the world we live in. Dulux’s Tranquil Dawn has inspired us to take in everything around us to create our own perfect place in our homes; the only part of this world we can truly make our own.

The Morning Sky

For this look, we’ve paired the shade with our Antler™ tile, with 18 different faces and a mottled and textured finish, creating stunning depth and variation of colour for an overall unique appearance. Inspired by the morning sky, just as Tranquil Dawn alludes to, this look uses brushed nickel accessories to celebrate the shimmers of raindrops and nature’s natural shine.

Tranquil Terrazzo

Maintaining the calmness of Dulux’s colour of the year whilst adding some texture and character to a space, is terrazzo. Try our Molinato™ range, inspired by the traditional terrazzo floors of Italy; Molinato™ brings a sense of luxury to any space. Featuring on-trend tones of grey and white, Molinato™ can be paired effortlessly with Tranquil Dawn for a stunning look.

Smooth with Syren™

Pairing this soft fluid colour with Syren™ Natural Linen, we believe, is the perfect combination. Influenced by designs of Moroccan origin, the Syren™ tile also draws upon mermaid mythology, taking inspiration from their jewel toned scales and oceanic habitat. In a harmonious colour palette of blues, greens and off whites, the fan shaped Syren™ creates a statement. With a bright gloss finish, unconventional shape, and range of ocean colours, Syren™ brings serenity and beauty to any room. Add some prints, you can find these on desenio.co.uk, to further elevate the calming sense of the beautiful outdoors.

The Wood Effect

Tranquil Dawn works perfectly with our wood effect tile Kanzi™ Walnut. This warm wood emphasises those elements of nature we want to embrace. Add some blush pink items to enjoy those rosy tones amongst the earthy colours in this look. A light fluffy rug ties the look together and makes this natural interior feel evermore cosy and inviting.

Pastel Possibilities

Here we have created a brighter look using pastels to maintain that calm feeling but injecting some colour. The styling possibilities are endless with Dulux’s versatile paint colour. It looks beautiful with a pretty pink and feels mellow with mustard yellow. Whether you want to keep it minimal or explore something a little more maximalist, you can do it all with Tranquil Dawn. We are so excited to use this colour in future projects, supporting the need to be inspired by nature and appreciate its stunning qualities as we bring them into our homes.
