Your Guide to Bashful (1111098)

Bashful (1111098) is a cheerful pink shade by Dulux - a light, easy shade that suits full walls across the home. The warm undertone means it settles best next to warm whites and natural timber.

Best Spaces for Bashful

• Living and family rooms: a light shade keeps everyday spaces bright and sociable.
• Bedrooms and dressing rooms: a soft pink feels gentle, warm and flattering.
• Study and work corners: an even, bright wall keeps a workspace feeling open.
• Kitchens and dining areas: a fresh, clean tone suits spaces where you cook and eat.

Building a Palette With Bashful

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

• Deep green or navy - for a confident contrast.
• Brass or blush - to soften or lift the tone.
• Warm white and cream - to give the eye somewhere to rest.

A shared accent between two rooms is an easy way to make the whole home feel considered.

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Bashful warms up under lamps and afternoon sun, and stays soft and light in north-facing rooms.

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

Worth Knowing

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - pink can look different at noon and by lamplight. Pale tones cover easily; just keep a little paint back for scuffs in busy spots.
