At Loke Interiors, we are always excited to embrace the latest trends, and Dulux’s Colour of the Year 2025, ‘True Joy,’ is a shade that truly resonates with our love for creating warm, welcoming, and inspired spaces. This vibrant, uplifting yellow brings an energising sense of optimism to any room, making it the perfect choice for homeowners who want to infuse their interiors with a bright and positive atmosphere.
Why true joy?
Dulux selected True Joy for 2025 as it reflects a growing need for spaces that lift our spirits and spark happiness. This rich, sunny yellow strikes the perfect balance between energy and warmth, representing a new dawn and fresh beginnings. Its lively tone feels fresh yet grounded, offering endless versatility in design, from statement-making accent walls to subtle, uplifting decor accents.
How to use true joy in your home
True Joy offers endless possibilities for transforming your interiors. Here are some tips from me on how to integrate this vibrant hue into your space:
1. Create a focal point
If you’re looking for an easy yet impactful way to refresh a room, try using True Joy as a bold accent wall. In living rooms or dining spaces, this sunny shade adds energy and warmth, while still being versatile enough to complement both modern and classic styles. A True Joy feature wall instantly draws attention, adding depth and character.
2. Pair with neutrals for balance
True Joy pairs beautifully with neutral tones like soft greys, warm whites, and beiges. This combination softens the intensity of the yellow, creating a balanced, harmonious feel. Incorporating natural materials like wood or stone can add texture and warmth, making the space feel grounded and calming.
3. Accents and furnishings
If you’re not ready to commit to a full wall of True Joy, adding this cheerful colour in smaller doses can still have a big impact. Think cushions, rugs, vases, or even a statement piece of furniture in this vibrant shade. It brings a playful yet sophisticated touch to any room, especially when paired with neutral or earth-toned backgrounds.
4. Brighten up kitchens and hallways
Kitchens and hallways are ideal places to incorporate True Joy. In a kitchen, it can bring an inviting warmth, making the space feel lively and vibrant. In hallways, True Joy can turn a typically overlooked area into a welcoming, bright entryway that sets a positive tone for the rest of the home.
5. Light and space
True Joy is a shade that thrives in natural light. Use it in rooms with plenty of daylight to amplify its brightness, enhancing a room’s feeling of openness and airiness. In smaller, darker spaces, it can be paired with reflective surfaces and light-coloured furnishings to brighten the area without overpowering it.
