Antwerp Blue (1111294): Where and How to Use It

Antwerp Blue (1111294) is a cool blue shade by Dulux - a light, easy shade that suits full walls across the home. The cool undertone means it settles best next to cool whites and greys.

Best Spaces for Antwerp Blue

• Living and family rooms: a light shade keeps everyday spaces bright and sociable.
• Bathrooms and en-suites: blue brings a clean, fresh, spa-like feel to tiled rooms.
• Bedrooms: pale walls feel restful and make mornings a little easier.
• Kitchens and dining areas: a fresh, clean tone suits spaces where you cook and eat.

What Goes With Antwerp Blue

For a whole-home look, use Antwerp Blue as a base to build the rest of the palette on and bring in:

• Natural oak or walnut - to warm up the cool tone.
• Mustard or tan accents - for a pop of warm contrast.
• Crisp white - on trims and ceilings, so the blue stays fresh.

Threading one pairing from space to space keeps everything looking deliberate.

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Antwerp Blue keeps its crisp, cool look in daylight and turns a little softer under warm bulbs.

Best finish: A matt finish looks smooth and modern in living rooms and bedrooms; use a washable soft-sheen in kitchens, bathrooms and hallways.

Before You Start

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as blue shifts with the light in a room. A second thin coat evens it out, and a leftover tin handles later marks.
