Blue is Back: How to Use Pantone’s Color of the Year in Your Home
Interior design fads come and go. But one interior trend is as peaceful and timeless as the night sky itself — the blues. We’re not talking about boring baby bedrooms. We’re talking about the Pantone Institute Color of the Year 2020: 19-4052, Classic Blue. In fact, it brings a whole new realm of saturated blues, perfect for most rooms in your home.
This blog is meant to be an inspirational piece. We’ll talk about how to use these new modern blues best in your Naples home, and how to get started with our new favorite tone. From living rooms to bedrooms, and even bathrooms, blue is BACK in 2020!
How to Go Big With Blue in Your Naples Living Room
From a dazzling seaside view to a romantic evening on the patio, big blues are breathtaking! If you’re ready to dive right in to blue in your living room you could:
- Start with a wall-to-wall carpet in sapphire blue, go a few shades lighter for walls, and choose living room furniture in any light to medium neutral tone.
- Alternatively, work from the walls down. Choose a robins egg blue for walls, and accent it with bark brown window dressings and wood furniture pieces.
Have you ever been hypnotized by the play of light at the bottom of a swimming pool? Or sighed at the sun sparkling off the ocean? Our eyes love how blue looks with light! Get playful with lighting and reflective accent pieces to flash the light around the room. Accessories like the Uttermost Accessories Rajata Silver Vases are perfect for the job. Order them online or visit our Naples furniture store for more living room inspiration.
The Bedroom Blues
Peaceful, relaxing blue tones are ideal for bedrooms too. When describing the 2020 color of the year, Pantone Institute says it best: “Instilling calm, confidence, and connection, this enduring blue hue highlights our desire for a dependable and stable foundation on which to build as we cross the threshold into a new era.”
It’s easy to get a feel for blue in the bedroom. Start with a new comforter and blue area rug to get a feel for your preferred tone. Just remember blue loves light. It won’t work in a dark bedroom and will end up looking dank and stifling.
Test Blue in Your Bathroom
Maybe you love blue, but your partner doesn’t. Or perhaps you’re just nervous about making the dive into blue. Bring it to the bathroom for a test!
- Like we mentioned before, it’s easy to go big with blue.
- You need a well-lit space and some sparkle.
- Bathrooms are generally well lit, and home to sparkling faucets and accessories already. So, try a shower curtain in your favorite tone here, first.
- You’ll get a feel for the color without breaking the bank.
Ultimately, blues are both peaceful and refreshing. We’re thrilled that it is making a come back in 2020 in such a timeless tone!
