Brave Ground is a warm and comforting colour, which is perfect as we head into autumn in the UK. With the likelihood of having to continue to spend more time in our homes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Homes which have become a safe refuge for some, while for others they're places where we have to learn new ways to entertain ourselves and our families. So Dulux is reflecting these topsy-turvy and challenging times with its choice of focus colour for the year ahead (which starts today in terms of making colour changes in your home).

Describing Brave Ground as a versatile shade that connects back to nature and lets all other colours shine, Dulux has recommended a number of colours that are ideal to pair with this warm, earthy tone. We particularly love their suggestions for using Brave Ground with "earthy" blues and greens, and "expressive" reds and pinks.

So we want to show you how you can combine these luscious wall colours with some of our beautiful prints and posters. Making wonderful transformations for a modest budget.
