BLUE HUE? DREAMING OF A
Dulux might have announced Bright Skies as its ‘Colour of the Year’ for 2022, but it’s not the only paint company that has this gorgeous shade covered.
E
co 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, says: “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 adds. “It really does feel like the dawn of a new chapter.” Thorndown is an award-winning specialist paint manufacturer that creates technically excellent, eco- friendly water-based wood paints
