Dulux might have announced Bright Skies has its Colour of the Year for 2022 but its not the only paint company that has this gorgeous shade covered.
Eco paint specialists Thorndown has a plethora of soft blues to inject a breath of fresh air into both interior and exterior schemes.
Caroline Thornborough, design director of Thorndown, said: “We have seen a variety of lighter shades of blue creeping up our ‘best-sellers’ list, from our smallest sample pots right through to our 2.5-litre tins. Shades like Goblin Blue and Adonis Blue are among our top-selling paints.”
Caroline believes the popularity of these bright tones show homeowners are embracing a more positive outlook following the pandemic and are using joyful colours to uplift their surroundings.
“There is a real freshness about light blue,” she added. “It really does feel like the dawn of a new chapter.”
Here Caroline picks out her favourite light blue shades from the Thorndown collection.
