Pantone Colour of the Year 2020

29.1.20


We’ve dug into our portfolio for A little look at some of our projects that perfectly embody the new Colour of the year from pantone.

2020 brings us ‘classic blue’.


To quote the great colourists themselves,

“A timeless and enduring blue hue, PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue is elegant in its simplicity.
Suggestive of the sky at dusk, the reassuring qualities of the thought-provoking PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue highlight our desire for a
dependable and stable foundation on which to build as we cross the threshold into a new era.”


bring a little blue onto your walls…

Whether it’s a whole room, a single wall or a band of colour, Classic Blue works well to bring a strong sense of identity to any room. And this hue works particularly well combined with a bit of fresh greenery, a crisp neutral or a more ecelctic colour palette.

…or use a bluesey wallpaper for added texture and interest.

You can’t beat a good wallpaper. Look for mural effect papers to avoid repeat patterns. We love the effect we achieved in these beautiful bedrooms, thanks to mural suppliers like Rebel Walls, Surface View and Sandberg.
