Power of Paint

Not only do the colours provide a touch of style, but Dulux Heritage is formulated to the highest standards.

Durable, with excellent easy-to-apply coverage, the paints are a joy to use whether you’re a professional decorator or a novice DIY-er.

With over 90 years of technical colour expertise, each tin of paint offers both style and substance.

Designed with busy life in mind, everyday stains and spills can be wiped away seamlessly from the matt formulation.

Plus, the luxurious, strokeable finish is velvety smooth, helping to create a comforting environment that is as welcoming as it is distinctive.

Ravinder likens the premium feel of her chosen colour mix to a “hug on a wall” as the irresistible appearance feels just as good as it looks.

“When I walk into this room I immediately feel uplifted. I’m transported back to Kenya and the vibrant environment I grew up in, the whitewashed houses turning blush in the sun, the pistachio terrazzo floor in our house and the deep juices from the fruits and vegetables my grandfather would grow…”

From timeless classics to modern shades, the wide range of options are arranged into pale, mid and deep tones to help you build an expressive combination that shows your personality.

“We spend so much time in our homes, I want to be in a space that I can relax in so I always look for warmth”, reveals Ravinder.

“I feel spiritually, mentally and emotionally nourished by these colours. I feel nostalgic as they take me back to a very happy time in my childhood and, to me, they are simply delicious as I think of the wonderful ingredients I use in my cooking”
