Give Your Home A Festive Feel

It’s the time to transform your home into a festive and inviting space that radiates joy and celebration. The holidays offer the perfect excuse to revitalise our living spaces, infusing them with vibrant colours and cozy touches that enhance the festive ambience and create a welcoming haven for visiting friends and family. 

Dulux’s Colour of the Year, True Joy™, and three easy-to-use palettes will allow you to create exciting and energising schemes for your home.  

Here’s how to prepare your home for the magic of the holidays and ensure you create a delightful atmosphere for gatherings and lasting memories with loved ones.  

Elevate your living room appearance

The living room is the heart of the home, the first room visitors see, a place where family and friends gather, it should feel inviting and radiate warmth and hospitality. Create a cheerful and joyful atmosphere that lifts your spirits in your living room by adding décor accessories that will elevate your home décor and enhance the space without overwhelming it.  

A brightly coloured accent wall, a vibrant piece of furniture, or a bold piece of artwork is one of the most effective ways to incorporate colour into your home. It creates a focal point that can serve as a conversation starter and set the tone of the space.  

“The Dulux Colour of the Year 2025, True Joy™ is the perfect living room paint. It works beautifully on its own, adding optimism and warmth to any living room, but can also brighten up any space when used as a spontaneous accent colour”, says Palesa Ramaisa, Dulux Colour Expert. 

Creating new traditions 

The festive season is all about connecting with loved ones and creating memories while reflecting on the year. A great way to make lasting memories is to create new traditions, you can create hand-painted tree ornaments that are customized and unique to your style or give as gifts to your family and friends. Decorating ornaments can be a fun activity, particularly for children and it’s an easy way to add colour to your space.   

Make your kitchen festive
