Each year, Pantone releases their highly anticipated Color of the Year. This years Pantone color is Classic Blue. The best annual hue – its deep, dreamy shade serving as inspiration for many homeowners and personal decorators.
See how we took an open concept and created a glamorous living room. So if you’re looking to incorporate this popular color into your home this year, here are some tips to keep in mind:
Use it as an accent.
Classic blue is one of the darker, duskier shades of blue which makes it an ideal accent color. Because it is of a deeper hue, you may not want to paint an entire room this color – instead, consider using it to draw your eye to a specific location. For instance, painting one wall in the bedroom is a great way to incorporate this elegant color without making a room feel too dark. Or like above, just highlight chairs or ottomans in the chosen color.
Similarly, you can easily add Classic Blue into the accessories around the home, from throw pillows and blankets to curtains and rugs. The best thing about blue is that it complements many colors and styles. No matter if you’re trying to achieve a beach, classic or modern theme, this shade of blue can be seamlessly incorporated into your existing style.
