Using Tranquil Dawn At Home
• This pale grey-green is inspired by the dawn
horizon. It’s a soft and easy-going natural
and, as such, could be employed to paint all
your walls, providing you with a delightfully
calming and contemplative space. It also looks
good added in the form of window treatments,
upholstery, rugs or smaller accessories.
• Dulux has produced four colour palettes, each
consisting of ten colours, to demonstrate how
to combine Tranquil Dawn in different ways
and create a variety of effects. The ‘Care’
palette includes pale pinks and blues, and is
soft and airy for a soothing atmosphere; the
‘Play’ palette uses bolder colours such as
citrus and crimson to create a sense of energy
and vibrancy; the ‘Meaning’ palette employs
subtle greys for a still, quiet space; and the
‘Creativity’ palette, with sapphire, garnet and
chocolate, is more moody and intense. Take
your pick according to your home style.
• Although this delicate shade looks gorgeous
with natural materials such as wood, leather,
linen, stone and wicker, it can also be teamed
with sleek, shiny metallics and plastics for a
more chic, contemporary look, while adding
rich textures such as velvet or sheepskin will
give a sense of natural luxury.
