Vanilla (1114197): Where and How to Use It

Vanilla (1114197) is a sunny golden 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 Vanilla

• Living and family rooms: a light shade keeps everyday spaces bright and sociable.
• Kitchens and dining areas: a fresh, clean tone suits spaces where you cook and eat.
• Study and work corners: an even, bright wall keeps a workspace feeling open.
• Bedrooms: pale walls feel restful and make mornings a little easier.

What Goes With Vanilla

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

• Deep brown or walnut - to ground the glow.
• Cream and off-white - to keep the warmth soft.
• Brass and amber - to play up the 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: Vanilla 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.

Worth Knowing

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