The experts at Dulux wanted to create a shade that is warm and grounding, enabling us all to connect and draw upon the strength of nature.

‘The colours on our walls are the backdrop to how we live our life. For many of us, the lockdown has served to emphasise how important our home environment has become, it has been the place where we work, learn, relax. It can lift us up, nurture us, comfort us,” says Marianne Shillingford, Creative Director, Dulux UK.

Let’s take a look at how you could style this seasons IT colour at home:

We love the idea of pairing bright, individual shades with the super-versatile Brace Ground. Pair this look with modern furniture and contemporary fittings for a striking home aesthetic.

We’re also loving the idea of teaming Brave Ground with warm creams and shades of grey for a really welcoming feel. Add a mid-century inspired chair and some rich finishes like marble to complete the look.

One of the big themes behind Brave Ground is allowing us to draw from the strength of nature, so why not draw on nature itself to create a stunning look for your home? We love shades like blue and green paired with Brave Ground to create a sense of natural balance. We’d style this look with lots of indoor plants and some reclaimed wood for a truly finished style.
