Simply Refresh Your Spectre Tile (With Dulux)

Decorating your kitchen can often be a tricky task, balancing different textures, tones, and lighting but that’s what makes it so exciting!

When planning your kitchen, it’s important to start with what you want to make the feature. Are you blowing your budget on amazing cabinetry or perhaps a luxury worktop. Or perhaps, being on a tighter budget, you focus the attention on a smaller area like the splash back. Even on a budget, you can still go bold.

We love the Spectre tile for just that occasion, thanks to its gloss, matt, and holographic glazes, no matter what light it’s shown in, it can look completely different. A real wow factor in any kitchen. With such a statement tile, it’s important to pare back the other elements in the room, opting for a more streamlined style cabinet, and a less variegated worktop.

The one place to really play and experiment with is your wall paint. And now with Dulux’s one coat paint ‘Simply Refresh’ you don’t even need to be decisive! Perfect for those areas not in the 'hit zone' of the kitchen (aka major water splashes or around the cooker - use Dulux Easycare for these areas!)

Here we show you 6 ways to update your Spectre Sky splashback in no time at all.

The Simply Refresh range is one coat guaranteed! Less paint is needed, it’s extra thick but still easy to apply, mirroring the great quality of Dulux’s existing paint ranges. With a mix of modern and classic shades, there’s a hue to suit any project.

Want to zone your room or bring back the famous ‘feature wall’? Their trend led colours are available in a smaller tin giving you that all important pop of colour that you’re allowed to get bored of!

The Simply Refresh range is the perfect accompaniment to your tiled splash back so invest in a tile you really love now that you can change the rest of the wall to suit the season or even your mood in a matter of minutes.

If you're working with an area prone to high water splashes or food preparation consider using these colours in the Dulux Easycare range instead. 20x tougher than standard Dulux Matt allows you to remove stubborn marks without damaging the paint on your wall, keeping your home looking great for longer.

Dulux Easycare also has unique stain repellent technology which repels liquid spills, making them easier to wash away. When water based liquids hit the wall, the unique stain repellent technology turns the liquid into beads, which sit on the surface of the paint.

Alternatively, take your splashback up just a little higher to further protect your walls from unsightly splash stains.
