Every year, the Dulux Valentine paint brand unveils a colour that will be particularly striking in interiors for the coming year. For 2025, it is focusing on joy!
What if you got out of your routine and filled your home with optimism and creativity? That’s what the essential paint brand Dulux Valentine is offering you. Every year, color experts get together to share their vision of the home and decipher future trends. As a result, they choose a color of the year to use as a common thread and to associate with different palettes according to each person’s style. This year, the shade was born from an observation: we “want to escape to somewhere else where the grass is greener.”
After a natural and soothing colour, called Bamboo, Dulux Valentine is betting on a bolder colour designed to give character to your walls. The colour 2025 Burst of Joy is a stimulating and energetic yellow to brighten up the home with joyful touches and positive vibes. Heleen van Gent, creative director of AkzoNobel’s global trend office, is formal, it is a colour that “puts joy on your walls and makes you smile”. It will also be ideal for bringing the natural brightness of the sun to an interior that lacks it.
To adopt a good mood at home, nothing could be simpler. The color is designed to work alone by bringing a lot of character, but also as an accent color, in more or less important touches, to mix with a more sober palette. This yellow in tune with the times will work very well for example with natural colors like grays, beiges and browns to energize any room in the house. It also combines with deeper shades like midnight blue or terracotta for a richer decor. Finally, for the more daring who are not afraid of bright colors, the Eclat de joie yellow will vibrate wonderfully with frank shades like blood orange,
A section of wall, a door frame, a painted headboard, a simple geometric shape or a painted line… There is no shortage of ways to dare to use yellow without overdoing it! The result is a modern, stimulating and full of good energy interior.
