Your Guide to Potpourri (1112384)

A soft violet from Dulux, Potpourri (1112384) is a light, easy shade that suits full walls across the home. With its balanced undertone, it looks most natural alongside warm or cool neutrals.

Rooms That Suit Potpourri

• 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.
• Narrow hallways and box rooms: light colours push the walls out and add a sense of space.

Building a Palette With Potpourri

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

• Pale timber - to soften the depth.
• Silver or chrome - for a cool, refined accent.
• Blush or mauve - for a gentle, tonal pairing.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Potpourri reflects light well and stays bright and even from morning to night.

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 violet shifts with the light in a room. A second thin coat evens it out, and a leftover tin handles later marks.
