Dulux is one of the country’s most popular paint brands, so for anyone decorating or redecorating and wanting to try out the trendiest colours for the new year, it’s worth seeing whether the Dulux Colour of the Year 2024 will suit your style and decor.

For 2024, the Dulux Colour of the Year is Sweet Embrace™. It’s a soft, positive, and comforting colour that goes with numerous styles and colour schemes.

Dulux picked Sweet Embrace™ out of thousands of choices based during their annual Trend Forecast brainstorm on making your home a calming, comfortable ‘place where you belong’.

Sweet Embrace™ is a “soft and positive tone,” and Dulux set about creating “three easy-to-use colour palettes: a warm colour story, a calm colour story and an uplifting colour story. Each of them offers a different way to create a space where you feel completely at home.”

Let’s see how to make your living room, home office, and bedroom more soft, positive, and cosy with the Dulux Colour of the Year 2024.

Dulux Colour of the Year 2024 in Your Living Room

Living rooms and kitchens are the heart of every home. You want them to feel comfortable, cosy, and welcoming. Dulux recommends pairing Sweet Embrace with “natural greens and blues that can bring a tranquil and fluid feel to the heart of your home.”

Need more storage in your living room? We’ve got you covered with storage sofas, with loads of space underneath, even in the arms, and so comfortable you’d not know there was a suitcase underneath! You can even store books, drinks, or toys for kids in the arms of our sofas (even prams and pushchairs!).

We also have a range of smart coffee tables that turn into a desk or dining table in a few seconds. These can also come with storage; plus, there’s a fantastic range of tables that can seat 10+ and yet fold away miraculously.

Dulux Colour of the Year 2024 in Your Home Office

In a home office, Dulux recommends pairing Sweet Embrace with earthy tones, such as Copper Glow and Winter Pumpkin.

At Furl, we have numerous practical space-saving solutions for your home office, including Furl’s Little Home Office. It’s a fold-away desk that’s no more than a hand width.

If you’d prefer to work from your dining room table, we have solutions for that too, especially if you only use your table part of the time. Our clever tables can turn into a desk or dining table in a few seconds.

Dulux Colour of the Year 2024 in Your Bedroom or Guest Room

In a bedroom or guest room, Dulux recommends pairing Sweet Embrace with happy paint colours such as lilacs and yellows, like Ochre Sands.

For anyone in the market for a new bed in a master bedroom or guest room, Furl has the answer: Check out our storage beds, which are the most beautiful, comfortable, practical, and easy to open, and have the deepest storage (from 20cm to 40cm) you’ll find anywhere.

Our space-conscious storage beds take up less space in your room and are delivered and assembled by our team in your home.

Furl storage beds and ottoman beds come with 100s of fabric choices, with or without headboards, and the frames take up less space than the average storage beds.

Sizes go from Single to Emperor, and you can even order one naked so that you can pick fabrics later on. So, if you’re not ready to decorate using Dulux’s Sweet Embrace™ and other colour schemes, then you could pick fabrics for your bed later on.

When it comes to opening mechanisms, they’re easy to lift with side or end opening mechanisms, and there are electric options, too.

For those who have guests, friends, or family stay every so often, our range of sofa beds is so comfortable no one would know they’re a sofa bed. Furl’s sofa beds are ideal for everyday use and can turn from a sofa into a bed (with full-sized mattresses and every bed size available) in only a few seconds.
