Educational spaces call for colours that create a calm and steady environment for learning. The natural tones in Dulux Professional Flow palette, when combined with the Colour of the Year, Wild WonderTM, can help. Here are four colour schemes that will improve educational spaces, bring value to your clients and inspire young minds…
Inspired by the tides, waves and natural rhythms of the earth, the Dulux Professional Flow palette helps to create a feeling of calm and balance that is perfect for educational spaces. As well as being the ideal calm backdrop for learning, these seashore-inspired colours can also help students to feel in touch with nature – something that has been shown to improve wellbeing, giving young minds an increased sense of wonder and imagination, as well as encouraging sustainable thinking.
The mix of pastel blues with Dulux Professional Colour of the Year, Wild WonderTM, brings the perfect combination of calm, creativity and playfulness to this nursery setting. Clouds on the ceiling painted in Bright SkiesTM – Dulux Professional Colour of the Year 2022 – create a ‘blue-sky thinking’ sense of optimism, while walls painted in Wild WonderTM add warmth and connection with nature.

A high-energy space calls for paint colours that the Dulux Professional Flow palette offers tones that work well on their own or in combination. Here, a split wall creates an effective and balanced backdrop in a sports hall. To draw the eye up towards the windows, the lightest shade is used at the top of the wall, while a band of Wild WonderTM adds warmth and visual interest.

In an open-plan space with separate zones, you need a colour scheme that feels cohesive. Here, different tones from the Flow palette give definition to each work area but, because they work well together, the whole gallery space feels unified. A central pop of Wild WonderTM breaks up the blue tones and makes a visual impact.

Colour-blocking can bring creativity and personality to a learning space. Here, a combination of blue, Wild WonderTM, soft yellow and white extends on to the ceiling to create a wraparound dark-to-light effect that makes just the right amount of noise in a quiet library.
