Nocturne N348: Tikkurila's Colour of the Year - 2025

If you're seeking a paint colour that brings calm and sophistication into your space, look no further than Nocturne N348.

This rich, deep blue is quickly becoming a favourite among interior designers and homeowners alike - especially for rooms designed to feel restful and grounding, like bedrooms, living rooms, and dining areas.

Whether you're revamping a bedroom, refreshing a dining nook, or creating a statement wall in your living space, Nocturne N348 offers a dramatic yet calming option that will stand the test of time.

Tikkurila say, "Nocturne N438 is more than just a colour; it's an experience. It embodies the essence of tranquility and sophistication, making it an ideal choice for those looking to transform their spaces into serene sanctuaries."

“Nocturne N348 is ideal for spaces where you want to promote relaxation, such as bedrooms, living rooms, and dining areas.

As a deep blue, Nocturne N348 thrives in south-facing rooms, where natural light enhances its richness and keeps the space feeling balanced. Its bold, moody tone is perfect for a feature wall or to envelop an entire space. Pair with warm neutrals to create contrast and let the colour shine.

The rise of deep, atmospheric colours reflects a shift toward bolder, more expressive interiors. Nocturne N348 is set to be a standout in 2025, as homeowners embrace moody yet versatile tones that add both depth and sophistication to their spaces.”
