12 Surprising Ways to Decorate With the Pantone 2020 Color of the Year — Classic Blue
Want to feel more calm, confident and connected in 2020? Use these pretty and practical pieces inspired by Pantone's Color of the Year.
Personally, I like to think of Pantone's Color of the Year as a source of design inspiration for the year ahead, almost like an unofficial New Year's resolution. It's not so much about decking my space out with the "trendy new hue," as it is about deciding how I want to my home to feel and intentionally using small pops of that color to set the tone.
So, when I read about Classic Blue, the 2020 Color of the Year that's supposed to instill calm, confidence and connection, I was immediately on board. I love the warmth of the hue and how it evokes thoughts of dusk when the world falls into a hush. Classic Blue does seem restful and reassuring to me, and I think that's exactly what my space needs right now.
