Smooth Grape (1111423): Where and How to Use It

Smooth Grape (1111423) is a breezy violet shade by Dulux - a light, easy shade that suits full walls across the home. The cool undertone means it settles best next to cool whites and greys.

Best Spaces for Smooth Grape

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

What Goes With Smooth Grape

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

• Pale timber - to soften the depth.
• Soft grey and white - to keep it calm and elegant.
• 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: Smooth Grape keeps its crisp, cool look in daylight and turns a little softer under warm bulbs.

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

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - violet can look different at noon and by lamplight. A second thin coat evens it out, and a leftover tin handles later marks.
