Dulux’s new heritage<br />

range has beautiful,<br />

richly-pigmented colours<br />

in hues that won’t date<br />

A lick of paint really does transform a space. This season, interiors have been<br />

comforting spaces - with colours designed to evoke feelings of nostalgia. We love<br />

the creamy whites now available - they give a hit of school-house warmth. For a<br />

calming bedroom or gender neutral nursery as above, try layering warm neutrals<br />

on details like panelling. Thanks to regency drama Bridgerton, greens are still<br />

hugely popular - the hues are endless depending on whether you want to create<br />

a rich and inviting space or somewhere dark and dramatic.<br />

RENOVATE<br />

Lots of us have decided to stay put and improve our<br />

existing properties - nothing does this quite like new<br />

glazing. New doors and windows breathe fresh life into<br />

spaces, especially if glazing can open up an existing wall.<br />

If you want to look into increasing openings, check with a<br />

structural engineer to see what you need to account for.<br />

Bi-fold doors remain the most popular option - allowing<br />

for an expansive opening of the space. We also love<br />

Crittall-style French doors for industrial chic.<br />
