Paper Lantern (1114426): Where and How to Use It

Paper Lantern (1114426) is a sunny warm neutral 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 Paper Lantern

• Living and family rooms: a light shade keeps everyday spaces bright and sociable.
• Whole-home walls and hallways: a warm neutral flows well between rooms and feels welcoming.
• Kitchens and dining areas: a fresh, clean tone suits spaces where you cook and eat.
• Bedrooms: pale walls feel restful and make mornings a little easier.

Building a Palette With Paper Lantern

Planning colours across the home? Treat Paper Lantern as a base to build the rest of the palette on and add:

• White and ivory - for a soft, layered neutral.
• Muted green or blue - for a gentle colour lift.
• Natural oak and linen - to add warmth and texture.

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: Paper Lantern 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.

Before You Start

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