True Joy: Dulux’s Colour of the Year 2025 has been unveiled

At Leekes, we love staying ahead of the trends in home design and decorating. That’s why we’re thrilled to share the exciting news: Dulux has announced “True Joy” as their Colour of the Year for 2025! This vibrant hue is set to inspire interiors worldwide, bringing warmth, optimism, and a bold sense of happiness to our living spaces.

What is True Joy?

“True Joy” is an uplifting yellow. It strikes the perfect balance between uplifting vibrancy and comforting warmth. The shade is versatile and modern, yet timeless, making it an excellent choice for creating inviting, joyful spaces in any home.

The story behind the colour

Each year, Dulux’s expert panel of global designers, architects, and trend forecasters gather to select a shade that reflects the mood of the moment. For 2025, the focus is on connection, optimism, and renewal. True Joy is a response to our collective need for positivity and togetherness as we look to the future with hope.

According to Dulux, True Joy “represents a sense of community and the happiness we derive from shared experiences.” Its lively yet grounding tone encapsulates a desire to fill our homes with warmth and personality after years of introspection and minimalist trends.

How to use True Joy in your home

Here at Leekes, we’re all about helping you bring colour trends to life in ways that suit your style. True Joy offers incredible versatility:

1. Feature walls: Use True Joy on a single wall to add a playful splash of colour that instantly energises a room.
2. Accent furniture: Brighten up neutral palettes with bright yellow and muted ochre cushions, rugs, or upholstered chairs.
3. Layered tones: Pair True Joy with soft, muted colours like beige or white for a harmonious and relaxed feel.
4. Bold contrasts: Want a modern look? Combine True Joy with deep greens, charcoal greys, or metallic accents for a striking visual impact.
