Teak (1115428): Where and How to Use It

A moody orange from Dulux, Teak (1115428) is a deep tone that's best saved for a feature wall rather than the whole room. With its warm undertone, it looks most natural alongside warm whites and natural timber.

Best Spaces for Teak

• Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
• Dining rooms and hallways: orange brings warmth and energy to social, busy spots.
• The wall behind a bed: a deep shade on the headboard wall gives a calm, hotel-like feel.
• Reading rooms and studies: a darker wrap makes these rooms feel snug and easy to focus in.

What Goes With Teak

For a whole-home look, use Teak as a feature against paler walls and bring in:

• Charcoal - for a modern edge.
• Warm white and cream - to soften the intensity.
• Teal or petrol blue - for a striking contrast.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Teak 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

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - orange can look different at noon and by lamplight. A tinted primer and a second coat keep the depth even, with no patchiness.
