Ivy (1114295): Where and How to Use It

A moody green from Dulux, Ivy (1114295) is a deep tone that's best saved for a feature wall rather than the whole room. With its green undertone, it looks most natural alongside off-whites and natural textures.

Rooms That Suit Ivy

• Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
• Studies and garden rooms: green links a room to the outdoors and helps you focus.
• The wall behind a bed: a deep shade on the headboard wall gives a calm, hotel-like feel.
• Home theatres and TV rooms: deep colours cut screen glare and make the space feel immersive.

Building a Palette With Ivy

Planning colours across the home? Treat Ivy as a feature against paler walls and add:

• Off-white and cream - to keep it light and natural.
• Wood and rattan - to echo the outdoors.
• Black or brass details - to sharpen the look.

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: Ivy 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

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as green shifts with the light in a room. A tinted primer and a second coat keep the depth even, with no patchiness.
