In the mood for memories
A "Silent Revolution" in Dulux paints perks up home spirits on rainy days
AKZONOBEL, the manufacturer of Dulux brand paints, sees the rainy season as a herald of new beginnings, with plants growing anew and the landscape becoming lush. Memories of our childhood homes bring a sense of relaxation. And this is what it has in mind with Silent Revolution, a “trend” in home decoration for the wet days ahead.
Based in nature, the trend highlights subtle differences in neutral tones and shows how a dash of white can soften and balance them. A sense of calm and silence is evoked.
Silent Revolution involves white, beige, cream, light brown and light grey. Imagine adding white to grey or the beige that’s somewhere between brown and cream. These are tones that relax you and surround you in the same warmth you feel with your family.
Home decorating should be a matter of simplicity and minimalism – “less is more”. You don’t need much furniture, but what there is should be functional as well as appealing to the eye. This, combined with the palette of Silent Revolution paints makes your living space look more spacious and your life will feel simpler, less cluttered.
Choose furniture that helps keep your space organised. The tables, chairs and fittings should be made with natural materials, in natural tones. Wooden floors of a natural texture look great with the soft white of tables and chairs, cream-coloured walls and a light-brown sofa.
Complete the look with vases of soft blue, white and green flowers, or even a white orchid. This will help maintain a fresh look to your home and add a bit of brightness during the rainy season. The beauty is truly in the detail.
