Soft Shimmer (1111853): Where and How to Use It

Soft Shimmer (1111853) is a warm off-white 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.

Rooms That Suit Soft Shimmer

• Living and family rooms: a light shade keeps everyday spaces bright and sociable.
• Ceilings, trims and small rooms: an off-white keeps everything bright, clean and airy.
• 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.

What Goes With Soft Shimmer

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

• Black accents - for a crisp, modern edge.
• Soft grey and greige - for a little subtle depth.
• Natural wood - to add warmth.

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: Soft Shimmer 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

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