If you’re thinking of an interiors overhaul to mark the new year, you might want to take inspiration from Pantone’s stunning choice for Colour of the Year 2020: Classic Blue.

Described as a '“timeless and enduring hue, elegant in its simplicity”, we think Classic Blue would make the perfect choice to bring a sense of peace and tranquility to a living room or bedroom. Whether you’re feeling like a feature wall, want to go bold and paint the whole room in the new shade, or just want a hint of the shade by bringing in some furniture pieces and accessories, there’s a whole host of options available to bring your interiors bang on-trend for 2020.

But it’s not just about the colour itself; Pantone has hinted that its choice of colour for 2020 is more than aesthetic, it’s about the state of the nation too…

“We are living in a time that requires trust and faith. It is this kind of constancy and confidence that is expressed by PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue, a solid and dependable blue hue we can always rely on,” said Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute. “Imbued with a deep resonance, PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue provides an anchoring foundation. A boundless blue evocative of the vast and infinite evening sky, PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue encourages us to look beyond the obvious to expand our thinking; challenging us to think more deeply, increase our perspective and open the flow of communication.”
