Cape Storm (1110975): Where and How to Use It

A dramatic teal from Dulux, Cape Storm (1110975) is a deep tone that's best saved for a feature wall rather than the whole room. With its cool undertone, it looks most natural alongside cool whites and greys.

Best Spaces for Cape Storm

• Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
• Kitchens and bathrooms: teal reads crisp and lively against white tiles and wood.
• The wall behind a bed: a deep shade on the headboard wall gives a calm, hotel-like feel.
• Reading rooms and studies: a darker wrap makes these rooms feel snug and easy to focus in.

What Goes With Cape Storm

For a whole-home look, use Cape Storm as a feature against paler walls and bring in:

• Pale wood and rattan - for a relaxed, natural feel.
• Brass or gold fittings - to lift the cool tone.
• Coral or terracotta - as a warm accent.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Cape Storm shows its depth in good light but can flatten in a dim room, so keep it where light is strong.

Best finish: A flat matt finish shows it at its richest and suits feature walls; use a washable soft-sheen in kitchens and bathrooms.

Before You Start

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - teal can look different at noon and by lamplight. A tinted primer and a second coat keep the depth even, with no patchiness.
