A massive thank you to all who submitted their designs. We received hundreds of brilliant schemes over the past few months and we were thoroughly inspired by your diverse use of the Dulux Colour of the Year, Tranquil Dawn.
We’re sure you’ll agree, the winners of this year’s NDA National Design Award have created some absolutely amazing designs. From spa settings to slick nightspots, the commercial interior design entries had us all wishing that we had more time off! Those who chose the residential brief leveraged many of the key interior design trends in new and exciting ways. Sustainable materials, terrazzo tiles and biophilic design all featured within these stunning schemes.Â
Our many congratulations to all of the winners and highly commended entries. It was so difficult to choose just four winners of the NDA National Design Award when the standard of the work submitted was so high.
So what happens next?
The winners will receive £250 in Amazon vouchers plus a day at Dulux HQ with the Dulux Academy to immerse themselves in the wonderful world of colour! The day will also include a very special trend forecasting workshop with Marianne & the Colour Team. Finally they will create & name their very own paint colour!

The Brief
To celebrate the launch of Dulux Colour of the Year 2020 ‘Tranquil Dawn’, The National Design Academy teamed up with Marianne Shillingford, Creative Director of Dulux to present the first NDA National Design Award, Featuring Dulux Colour of the Year 2020.
Your task was to WOW the judges with your use of ‘Tranquil Dawn’ and, so that you could do just that, we provided two creative and challenging briefs for you to choose from, one commercial and one residential.
Both briefs included both an indoor and terrace area, highlighting the extensive range of interior and exterior Dulux paint finishes available.
Whichever scheme you chose, at least 50% of your surfaces must have used the Dulux Colour of the Year 2020.
