Does your living room need a revamp? Our trend colours for 2018 may offer the solution. Heart Wood has been chosen as the Dulux Colour of the Year for 2018 – and our colour experts have selected a range of colours to pair it with.

Dulux Colour of the Year 2018 and its complementary colours create a reassuring mood in your living room, but that doesn’t mean you can’t try some unexpected design ideas. In this living room, a graphic neutral oval broken across two walls adds an eye-catching feature, that’s softened by its organic shape.
Which paints?
Try Heart Wood, After The Rain, Play House Plum, Wet Granite and Manor House
A darker trim of paint applied to the top of the wall, creates a living room with a sense of sanctuary and warmth. This colour combination mixes earthy tones that work well with natural woods and greenery and creates a wonderful cosy atmosphere.
Which paints?
Try Heart Wood, Babbitt Brown, Kennett Square and Bitter Creek
The strong vertical lines of contrasting tones in this energetic colour scheme help make the room feel larger. Painting the ceiling and one main wall in the same neutral tone create a sense of space and contrasts with the bolder tones. The overall feel is one of vibrancy and energy.
Which paints?
Try Heart Wood and Green Grove
Combining cool blue tones with the warm pink hue of Heart Wood strikes the perfect balance between a fresh and cosy look. This is the ideal palette for large, busy families that need an easy, welcoming feel for their living room. Great tip: for a modern take on a two-tone wall, create a colour break near the ceiling.your
