Embrace True Joy: How to Use Dulux’s Colour of the Year 2025 in Your Home
As we look ahead to the new year, it invites us to transform our homes with fresh, inspiring colours.
Dulux has unveiled True Joy as its Colour of the Year for 2025. True Joy is an uplifting yellow that promises to fill our spaces with creativity, optimism, and warmth.
If you’re ready to embrace this trending colour for the new year, we’ve put together some top tips on how to effectively use True Joy in your home décor.
A splash of positivity
True Joy is more than just a colour, according to Dulux’s colour experts – it’s a statement!
True Joy was picked as the colour of the year for the way it represents the confidence to jump out of our comfort zones. “If you can dream it, you can create it,” says Dulux.
Infusing your home with this sunny shade can instantly brighten your mood and create a welcoming atmosphere. Whether used in a feature wall or subtle accents, there are countless ways to make this vibrant colour work for you.
First steps
To feel comfortable in your colour experimentation, it is recommended that you start small with your introduction of the colour. Thin, linear strips on neutral backdrops can be an effective and striking way to introduce True Joy into your home.
You might also try adding bright yellow accessories like cushions, vases, or artwork to bring a cheerful touch without overwhelming the space.
Alternatively, consider painting an accent wall in True Joy to create a lively focal point in your living room or dining area.
When paired with neutral furnishings, the colour is allowed to shine while maintaining a balanced palette in your home.
Pairing with nature
To further enhance the uplifting qualities of True Joy, consider bringing the outdoors in.
Bright flowers and leafy plants can beautifully complement the yellow, adding a natural element that enhances its sunny feel.
For a low-maintenance option, consider a Sansevieria or peace lily, both known for their air-purifying qualities and ability to thrive indoors.
Embrace bold textures in your bedroom
To elevate the appeal of True Joy in your décor, bring a mix of textures into your bedroom. Light, airy fabrics like cotton or linen can keep your room feeling fresh and inviting.
Cushions and other accessories in soft pastels or whites create a positive level of contrast against the bold yellow of True Joy.
A cozy throw or elegant curtains can make all the difference in tying together your design while maintaining a light, summery feel.
Similarly, don’t shy away from experimenting with various materials, like wicker baskets, wooden furniture, or ceramic vases to enhance the natural vibe.
The power of personal touches
As you introduce True Joy into your home, remember that it’s all about creating a space that reflects your personality and style. Incorporate personal items like family photos, art pieces, or other memoirs to make your home uniquely yours.
Small changes can have a significant impact, and as you embrace True Joy, your new décor might just bring you that same feeling.
