Classic Blue if officially the 2020 Colour of The Year, as chosen by Pantone’s panel of experts. Dependable, trustworthy and familiar, this colour provides a calming influence, emanating stability during an uncertain time.

Classic Blue is just that – a classic. Studies have shown blue interiors are perceived to be more comfortable and likeable. Whether you want to introduce calming tones into your home, or upgrade your interiors to welcome a new era, this timeless hue can transform your space.

But what are some fast and easy ways to incorporate Pantone’s Classic Blue into your home without breaking the bank? Try painting an accent wall or simply introduce Classic Blue through accessories likes pillows, artwork, vases, etc.

Below are a few ways you can transform the mood and hue of your space:

1. Throw Pillow

The easiest and most effective way to introduce a Classic Blue into your home is as simple as purchasing a couple of beautiful throw pillows for your living room or bedroom area. Classic Blue pairs well with almost any neutral tone and colour, making it a great fit for a grey couch or white bedspread.

2. Accent Wall

A more involved method that makes a statement is the accent wall. Painting an accent wall makes a big impression while also remaining cost-effective. It can also be a great weekend project by teaming up with your partner!

3. Kitchen Accessories

Now that we’re spending more time working on our cooking skills, the quickest way to spruce up our kitchen space without doing an expensive renovation is by purchasing a few blue accessories such as dish towels, spatulas, or a kettle.

4. Paint Old Furniture

Painting furniture in need of an upgrade that you already have at home is another fun project to enjoy on your own or with your partner. This could range from a set of drawers, a nightstand, a bookcase, or wooden chairs.

5. Art

Hanging a painting or work of art that speaks to you always helps to create an ambience that makes an apartment or house feel like home. This is also a simple way to introduce the colour without changing or re-arranging any of your existing furniture and décor. Subtle, but effective!
