Spanish-Inspired colours for a cosy home

Spain is full of life and colour, from the bustling streets of Barcelona to the tranquil beaches of Costa del Sol. The vibrant colours of Spain are not just found in its buildings—they’re woven into its festivals, food, and daily life as well. Similarly, in Singapore, where festivals and culture are rich with bright colours, these lively hues can make your home feel warm and welcoming. At Dulux, we offer the Passionate Spain Palette, which you can use as inspiration, along with the other vibrant colours of Spain.

1. Add Spanish Warmth to Your Living Room

Red Walls: A deep, passionate red, like Flamenco Red from the Passionate Spain Palette, is a classic Spanish colour. It’s seen in the flamenco dresses worn at the Feria de Abril festival in Seville. Painting one wall in your living room with this red brings the energy and passion of Spain into your home. It’s great for creating a lively space where family and friends can gather, just like at Spanish festivals.

Soft Colours for Balance: To soften the bold red, use lighter colours like Sunbaked Terracotta or Creamy Beige. These colours are like the warm tones of the Spanish countryside and help make your living room feel cosy and balanced. It’s similar to how Singapore blends old and new in its colourful neighbourhoods.

2. Create a Cozy Spanish-style bedroom

Soft, Warm Colours: In Spain, sunsets turn the sky into soft shades of Peach Blossom and Soft Sand. These colours can make your bedroom feel warm and peaceful, perfect for relaxing. Just like the calm lights of Singapore’s evenings, these colours bring a sense of peace.

Small Touches of Red: A little bit of Flamenco Red in your bedroom, like on cushions or a blanket, adds a touch of Spanish spirit. It’s a small way to bring energy into your room without overpowering the peaceful vibe, much like the balanced energy of Singapore.

3. Bring the Colours of Spanish Food into Your Dining Room

Spanish food is as colourful as it is delicious. Dishes like paella, with its golden Saffron Gold and red Pepper Red, are symbols of togetherness in Spain. These colours can inspire your dining room, making it a warm place where family and friends feel welcome.

In Singapore, food also brings people together, with dishes that are just as colourful and flavorful. By using these food-inspired colours, your dining room can reflect the warmth of both Spanish and Singaporean cultures.

Add the Festive Spirit of Spanish Festivals to Your Home

-Spain’s festivals are full of bright colours. During La Feria de Abril in Seville, the streets are filled with colourful dresses and lights. The bright pinks, purples, and blues, like Fuchsia Joy and Electric Blue, can add a festive touch to your home. These colours are perfect for brightening up your living room or entryway.

-In La Tomatina, people throw ripe tomatoes, turning the streets into a sea of Vibrant Tomato Red. You can bring this joyful colour into your home with accent walls or decor. 

-Las Fallas in Valencia features large sculptures that are burned in a fiery show of oranges and reds, like Golden Ember and Fired Earth. These warm colours can make your living room feel inviting.

-Singapore’s festivals, like Chinese New Year and Deepavali, also fill the city with bright reds and oranges. These Spanish and Singaporean festivals share a lively spirit, and you can bring that into your home with these rich colours.

Reflect the Beauty of Nature with Mediterranean Colours

Spain’s landscapes, from golden beaches to green vineyards, are full of inspiring colours. The soft blues and sandy beiges, like Mediterranean Sky and Coastal Sand, are calming and peaceful. They’re perfect for a living room that feels like a retreat.

Singapore’s connection to nature, with its green parks and coastal areas, is also strong. Using these Mediterranean colours can make your home feel connected to the outdoors, reflecting the beauty of both Spain and Singapore.

Whether you choose bold accent walls inspired by Spanish festivals, warm colours from Spanish food, or calm Mediterranean hues, these ideas will help you create a lively and welcoming home. With the Dulux Spain Colour Palette, your walls can tell a story of warmth, joy, and life, making every day feel like a celebration.
