The Dulux Valentine brand has just unveiled its color of the year 2024, Tendre Cocon. This shade of pink, very soft and elegant, is a source of optimism and well-being. It is a great base for redecorating a room, especially a bedroom. A delicate shade that changes according to the light, it is wonderfully combined with other more or less bright colors. How to use with Catherine Filoche, the brand’s color expert.
For a relaxed and sophisticated effect
Develop a boudoir spirit by combining the shade of Tendre Cocon and Blanc Intense. Dulux Valentine
“To make your bedroom a very enveloping boudoir where elegance and relaxation combine, you just need to have a fairly minimalist approach that doesn’t prevent heat. To bring in light, we first use white, which is applied to doors, windows and foundations. Tendre Cocon pink, which has distinct hues depending on the lighting and thus the time of day, dresses the walls, ceiling and hood. There is an interesting harmony between these two colors that allows you to play the card of subtle contrast between the walls and the woodwork. The light floor adds to the calming aspect of the pictures. The accessory of the space is also important. we use beige or ecru bed linen and bouquets of dried flowers. This choice, in my eyes, is a good idea to update a young girl’s bedroom.
For an invigorating atmosphere
The toning effect is guaranteed by the combination of Tendre Cocon and Ivory Zéphyr. Yellow touches are recommended. Dulux Valentine
“We will rely on complementary colors to make the bedroom a space full of energy. The color Tendre Cocon, soft and soothing, is applied to three areas of the walls and ceiling. It counterbalances the subtle shade of green accents applied to one wall. The Zéphyr d’Ivoire reference is perfect. Evoking a bamboo palette, it brings a natural and restorative touch with controlled contrast. The idea is not to tire the eyes. the bedroom should remain a place of relaxation. To add height to the room, we paint the plinths in the color of the wall and to give a sense of space, we paint the doors in the color of the wall as well. Nothing is too pronounced in this play of shades, but we can emphasize this desire for tone with more accessories. pepsi that punctuate the room, like a bedside lamp or lemon yellow bed linen. The idea is to combine relaxation and stimulation in moderation. In short, the perfect equation of well-being and atmosphere, designed for a room that will accommodate an office for remote work.”
To create clear living spaces
A trio of colors – old rose, soft cocoon and earthy clay – to demarcate areas in the bedroom. Dulux Valentine
“Color can build a room and define spaces. To do this, you need to play with three shades. Our research shows that using three colors often scares users. However, you just need to know a few keys to make it work perfectly. We use a dominant color, here our Old Rose, on the walls. This color is then highlighted with a less pronounced shade, but with a similar palette. Old Rose is paired with Tendre Cocon, a very pale and shifting pink that plays the role of white applied to the window woodwork and ceiling. This brings a very enveloping aspect. It should be noted that the back door and plinths are painted the same color as the walls, which allows them to be hidden. Finally, to add warmth, the headboard was painted in a natural neutral brown family, the more present Earth Clay. This strong contrast allows you to delimit the sleeping area and possibly place it behind the bed, desk, dresser or even put together a wardrobe… An option to create two different zones, much simpler and more economical than installing. partition
To stand out
Strong colors and contrasts are also perfect in the bedroom. The proof comes in three colors: Tendre Cocoon, Celadon Green and Indigo Blue. Dulux Valentine
“Dark colors are hard to handle in users’ minds, especially in intimate rooms. And yet, they allow you to bring personality to the room. In particular, blues and greens, which are emphasized shades. Here, on the walls, the Celadon Green option allows you to create a pleasant cocoon. The back wall was painted all over, including the door; this, thus integrated, disappears and the area appears more homogeneous, even larger. The headboard is painted in Indigo Blue, a strong choice that evokes the night and gives a beautiful identity to this bedroom. Finally, Tendre Cocon shade is used to touch up one door, window, ceiling. Here she completely loses her “feminine” side, the boudoir spirit, becoming the “fountain” of these blues and greens. In general, when you want to separate the contrasts in the room, the rule of three colors is essential – it is a rule of aesthetic balance.”
