The first decorative trends for 2025 are starting to emerge, particularly in the world of painting. Dulux Valentinethe famous paint brand, has just unveiled, as it does every year, the flagship color which promises to mark the year to come. After “Tendre cocoon”, a soft pinkish beige in 2024, the color of 2025 takes the big leap towards a pop and bold yellow called “Éclat de joie”. Vibrant, solar and luminous, this shade promises to flood our interiors with warmth and energy, a choice resolutely geared towards optimism.
What is the color of the year according to Dulux Valentine?
Let it be said, this bright yellow is not the most timid: its luminosity and its character require you to embrace it fully, whether in small touches or in a total look. But don't worry, it's much less difficult to adopt than you might think. It has the ability to combine with a wide variety of colors and styles. For example, it can be used in contrast with more sober shades such as white, beige or gray or pearl pastel blue for a chic and luminous effect. Combined with more intense colors like pink, orange, terracotta or even green, it creates a more vibrant and dynamic atmosphere. This yellow will in any case know how to liven up even the most minimalist room.
The secret to mastering this “burst of joy” certainly lies in the art of balance. In order to avoid the garish effect, it is advisable to use it sparingly, choosing one or two walls to paint in this shade to give character to the room while maintaining a harmonious atmosphere. As Dulux Valentine points out: “Painting a single wall in this color allows you to give depth to the living room while maintaining a balanced atmosphere. This vibrant yellow attracts the eye without overwhelming the space, and creates a bright atmosphere, especially in rooms with little exposure to sunlight. natural light.”
How to adopt “Sparkle of joy” yellow?
To add a touch of yellow to your interior without going too hard, the possibilities are numerous: you can choose to paint only a beam or the frame of a door to add a touch of color and character, to enhance a ceiling by coloring it a different shade than the walls or using this color to demarcate different spaces in a room. Another option is to paint the lower part of the walls a pop yellow and keep the upper part white, creating a stylish and bright contrast effect.
