Calming, fluid and creative, blue is the perfect antidote to today’s frenetic world. We’ve chosen a collection of soulful indigo blues as Dulux’s colour family for 2026 – Free Groove™, Mellow Flow™ and Slow Swing™ form a colour range that lets you change the rhythm of your home in countless ways. It’s all about creating a space that flows at your pace.
We believe in blue for 2026! Whether uplifting, airy or meditative, blue is a calming and cooling colour – just what we need in our homes at a time when life can feel chaotic, demanding and overheated.
This was the sentiment that came out of our annual trend forecast, where international design experts share their thoughts on how the world is changing and what we’ll need in our homes in the years ahead.
This time, we spoke about the importance of slowing down and creating space to reflect and recharge. We saw the value of being in sync with our surroundings, which helps us feel supported and connected. We also talked about the momentum that can come with boundary breaking – how embracing a Free approach can help us feel carefree and open up space for blue-sky thinking. What tied all these ideas together was rhythm.
Our theme for 2026, 'Your space, your pace', is all about creating a home that flows at the right tempo for you, using fluid colour schemes and balancing blues. We've selected the vibrant Free Groove™; the airy light blue – Mellow Flow™; and the meditative dark blue – Slow Swing™ and built three new colour stories around them: the Free colour story, the Flow colour story, and the Slow colour story.
Our soulful collection of blues features in all three stories, with each story highlighting one hero colour. Using these indigo tones and complementary colours, you can set the pace of each room in your home to perfectly match your mood.
There's a blue for every one of you in our versatile colour palettes!
The lead colour in the Dulux Flow colour story is Mellow Flow™, a light, airy blue that makes the perfect background colour for a living room. Calming without being cold, it brings an expansive, open feel that transforms the space. Here, paired with warm beige furniture and accents of our striking Free Groove™, it creates a space where you feel instantly at ease. To see how blues can create a calming backdrop in your living room, download the Visualizer tool.
Fluid and harmonious, blues work particularly well in kitchens, which are often busy, overheated spaces. Here, our vibrant Free Groove™ adds a dash of colour to the work area, while Slow Swing™ – the dark blue – provides the room with a solid framework. Dulux offers easy-to-clean interior paints that are specially formulated for kitchen walls. Discover our Wash & Wear™ paints here.
Our vibrant Free Groove™ is a shade to get lost in. Intense and resonant, it creates the perfect dreamy flow in a bedroom, especially when paired with lighter and deeper blues from our soulful indigo collection. Be inspired by the colours of Vincent Van Gogh's The Starry Night and slow the pace right down for the perfect night-time retreat.
Turn your bedroom into a safe retreat with Dulux Ambiance All AirClean™. This interior paint destroys formaldehyde, giving you cleaner air and peace of mind while you sleep. Experience it for yourself.
Blue has been shown to improve concentration, making it the ideal colour for a home office. Here, a dark blue bookshelf in Dulux Slow Swing™ is set against a wall painted in Free Groove™ to create a space that’s made for quiet focus.
