As the trend of self-expression continues to grow in home decor, Dulux Paints has found a way to help Canadians unleash their creativity and transform walls into one-of-a-kind masterpieces.

The brand has announced the launch of Dulux Venetian Silk, a new paint that delivers luxurious, elegant walls unique to each room.

According to Martin Tustin-Fuchs, brand manager for the Dulux Paints brand, Venetian Silk was developed using innovative technology that enables users to infuse walls with visual depth and sophistication to match their personal taste. "You don’t need to be an artist to create a masterpiece with these products," Tustin-Fuchs says, explaining that the line is geared towards paint professionals, designers and do-it-yourselfers alike. "Our specially selected palette of colours combined with a little imagination will deliver results so striking that, even if you don’t change anything else in the room, you will see a remarkable transformation in your decor."

Dulux Venetian Silk paint produces the sensuous, silky, layered effect of Venetian plaster yet is easy to apply and smooth to the touch. Available in 40 light-animating colours, it creates a multi-toned and luminous finish that adds depth to walls, according to Tustin-Fuchs. Applied in two steps, Dulux Venetian Silk products require a coat of specially selected base colour to be painted before two thin top coats of Dulux Venetian Silk paint are applied creatively, in different directions, using an applicator or plastic trowel. "The result is an original work of art infused into the wall that brings an element of style and class to any room," he says.

Dulux Liquid Metal paint can also deliver sophisticated elegance to rooms by adding shimmer to walls, trim and furniture. Available in 32 light-reflecting colours infused with gold, silver, copper or bronze undertones, the finish takes on a smooth or mottled look depending on the application tool used. As with the Dulux Venetian Silk line, Dulux Liquid Metal paint involves a two-step application process, requiring a coat of a specially selected base colour to be painted before two top coats of Dulux Liquid Metal paint are applied.

"Reminiscent of a fluid, sparkling work of art, this illuminating, durable, colour-rich texture delivers the ultimate finishing touch to any room," Tustin-Fuchs says.
