Hallway workspace with walls and ceiling painted in soft pink

One workspace: four completely different moods with Dulux Colour of the Year 2024

12 September 2023

Our Colour of the Year, Sweet Embrace™ and easy-to-use palettes give you the flexibility to create any number of different schemes for a home office

With more of us working from home than ever before, creating a workspace we want to spend time in is top of the agenda. Our Colour of the Year 2024, Sweet Embrace™ is the perfect starting point for any decorative scheme. Not only does it work beautifully on its own, adding warmth and softness to any home office, but it also acts as a foundation colour for a host of other shades.

Around it, we’ve created three colour stories – warm, calm and uplifting, so it’s easy for you to create a look you love. Find out how you can change the mood of one workspace simply by choosing a different palette…

Soft and optimistic

Modern, delicate and comforting, Sweet Embrace™ can bring a sense of softness to a room and works beautifully on its own. For a one-colour scheme, try taking it up on to the ceiling to accentuate that cosy, wraparound feel.
