Undoubtedly one of the most anticipated announcements each year, Pantone® has revealed their Color for 2020. Pantone describes Classic Blue as timeless, reassuring and enduring. Aptly named “Classic,” it is the shade that comes to mind when the word “blue” is said, resting somewhere between navy and royal; it’s familiar, like the most-used crayon in the box. Classic Blue can be calming or bring an exciting dose of color whether displayed in your home or on your person.
When Michelle Thomas, ASID, RID, designed a sitting area for her client’s home, she didn’t shy away from the bright and bold color, and the cheerful shade makes everyone feel anything but blue. Her approach to incorporating Classic Blue in your home is to simply be bold, be brave and beautify your space. She says, “Classic Blue is a perfect pairing for any space. From complementing wood tones to mixing well with pops of colors, like orange, blue is a crowd pleaser! Many people would shy away from such a bold choice, but as you can see, it offers a WOW factor by adding personality and interest to the space. We used a geometric tile backsplash and ran it from the countertop to the ceiling. It boasts a modern, yet dramatic feature.”
You’ll be seeing a lot of Classic Blue this year. Here are a few ways to bring it home. u
