Pantone Classic Blue: 9 Home Decor Buys You’ll Love

Start 2020 off on the right note by infusing your home with restful, calming blue hues

Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2020 is Classic Blue, an elegant, restful colour that the colour authority hopes will instill “calm, confidence and connection.” While this year’s pick may not seem as exciting or as versatile as previous years, Classic Blue shouldn’t be so easily dismissed.

In the home decor sphere, this particular shade evokes an all-encompassing sense of serenity and stillness. Isn’t that what home should feel like at the end of a long work day? What’s more, Classic Blue is also one of the best base colours to use against loud prints or brighter hues.

Here’s how you can introduce it seamlessly into your space…
