Your Guide to Design Time (1111059)

A warm violet from Dulux, Design Time (1111059) is a light, easy shade that suits full walls across the home. With its soft warm undertone, it looks most natural alongside warm whites and natural timber.

Rooms That Suit Design Time

• Living and family rooms: a light shade keeps everyday spaces bright and sociable.
• Bedrooms and quiet corners: violet suits restful, slightly indulgent spaces.
• Kitchens and dining areas: a fresh, clean tone suits spaces where you cook and eat.
• Study and work corners: an even, bright wall keeps a workspace feeling open.

Building a Palette With Design Time

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

• Soft grey and white - to keep it calm and elegant.
• Blush or mauve - for a gentle, tonal pairing.
• Silver or chrome - for a cool, refined accent.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Design Time 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

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as violet shifts with the light in a room. Pale tones cover easily; just keep a little paint back for scuffs in busy spots.
