Lewis Capaldi released a music video for his latest track ‘A Cure for Minds Unwell’, which tells the story of Naima Ben-Moussa, a domestic abuse survivor who has turned her experiences into helping others through her charity Rebuilding Lives UK. Naima's charity is making a real difference, providing essential home repairs to the houses of women and children who have been affected by domestic abuse alongside potentially lifesaving personal home and security products to protect women at risk of violence. We at Dulux are proud to support individuals who are making a positive difference, and we’re honoured to have been a part of the project featured in the video by providing the paint and lending a hand with one of our Dulux Select Decorators to assist in the home transformation.

Did you guess correctly in our poll? You're about to find out... New research by Dulux has unveiled that the colours we paint the walls in our homes cause the biggest stir, with neutral tones at the root of most clashes. In fact, 22% stated that they bicker over beige. Marianne Shillingford, Creative Director at Dulux, has been analysing the findings: “While we often think of neutral colours as a bit of a safe bet, the role they play in creating calming spaces – despite them causing the most quarrels – cannot be argued. As these are the hues causing the most hassle, it’s therefore not surprising that one of the most relaxing communal rooms in the house – the living room – is the most disputed when it comes to decorating, with it causing squabbles amongst 28 per cent of us." To help those struggling to agree on paint choices, Dulux has devised the ‘Compromise Palette’: a selection of nine colours that strike the balance between several different interior styles and colour preferences: http://spr.ly/6049gYOn7 #DuluxUK #Dulux #Paint #DecoratingDisputes #Decorating

The Great Colour Debate: Did you know that choosing a paint colour is the leading cause of squabbles amongst co- decorators! In a colourful twist, research led by Dulux, has unveiled the colours that cause the most rows, but before we reveal the results, we want you to have a guess.

Today marks Clean Air Day, a powerful reminder of our collective responsibility to safeguard the air we breathe and protect our precious planet. It provides a great opportunity to remember the importance of selecting products with lower Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) content that help you limit the impact of decorating on indoor air quality. As we know, paints are essential for preserving and safeguarding surfaces over the course of a building's life. However, every time a building is painted, some VOCs evaporate into the air at room temperature and, once exposed to sunlight, react with nitrogen oxides already present in the air and contribute to the formation of greenhouse gases. While VOC emissions from decorative paints represent a relatively small fraction of the UK's pollutants (1%), they still have a negative environmental impact and affect indoor air quality. To ensure you contribute to healthier indoor spaces for all, it is recommended that you choose products with lower VOC content that have been tested to ensure maximum durability, so it can last for years to come. Dulux Trade's Diamond Matt and Vinyl Matt have both been reformulated and are 99.9% VOC free (based on in-can VOC content and measured in accordance with ISO 11890-2:2013). This means that they have a lower impact on indoor air quality and lower overall carbon footprint of a project when compared with the previous formulation.
