Discover the colour trends shaping 2026
Dulux Heritage offers your customers interior design looks inspired by the colour and design trends taking hold across Irish homes this year: Saturated Spaces, Coastal Calm, Soft Neutrals, Layered Luxury, Grounding Greens and Heritage Whites. Each one offers a different way to create a home that feels calm and considered.
Saturated Spaces
Techniques like colour drenching, colour cocooning and colour capping are all growing in popularity. Create a fully enveloping scheme in a bedroom or study, or a more restrained “capped” ceiling or upper wall.
Muted blues, chalky whites, soft greys and gentle sea greens. Discover colour schemes that draw on the quiet, weathered tones of the Irish and British coastline.
Soft Neutrals
Warm is winning over cool this year. Discover how we’re moving away from stark, cool greys towards warmer, more nuanced tones such as stone, oat, clay, mushroom and warm chalk.
Layered Luxury
Think rich but softened colours, deep blues, heritage greens, muted plums and warm neutrals, layered across walls and trim, to build atmosphere without overt opulence.
Grounding greens
Calming, nature-inspired greens work as an easy, adaptable neutral for Irish homes. Shades like Sage Green, Waxed Khaki, Stone Green, Mallard Green and Olive Green are proving especially popular.
Heritage whites
Colours like Chiltern White offer the perfect neutral backdrop, but in 2026, the trend is layering: using several whites across walls, woodwork, and ceilings to add dimension and depth to your space.
There’s room for grounding in any home The Dulux Heritage paint range combines contemporary trends with traditional craftsmanship in a timeless colour palette that stands up to the demands of busy, modern home life.
