CLASSIC BLUE | Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2020
Can Pantone’s Color of the Year be more trendy for beach house interior design? I think not.
Classic Blue is a true neutral color with a restful and reflective vibe. Pantone says the color is “reminiscent of the sky at dusk.”
Visualizing this image should release all the stress from your day!
Bring Classic Blue accessories into your home
Think of CLASSIC BLUE like your favorite pair of jeans. Everything goes with it.As dependable and stable as your favorite jeans, Classic Blue home decor accessories will pair seamlessly with your current home style and color palette.
Think of how you dress up a simple pair of jeans with a bright pink pullover or a fun sunny yellow sweater. It seems that no matter what you mix and match with jeans the outfit always looks great.
Approach this year’s color the same way.
Add a few home decor accessories in Classic Blue and feel confident that the colors will go together. Easily. Comfortably. Beautifully.
Use an inspiration piece to pull out the Classic Blue in accessories
When decorating a space, I love using artwork, fabrics and rugs as inspiration pieces. Pull out all the colors, create a simple color palette and choose your favorites for paint, furnishings and accessories.
It’s a fool-proof trick to choosing colors. Let’s try it.
In this table top vignette from Caron’s Beach House, notice how the colors found in the seascape painting inspires the palette.
The Classic Blue color closely (if not perfectly) matches the choppy waters.
Each of the trio of vases picks up a color from the palette. And the sculptural design provides texture and interest to the final display.
Create a color palette from a favorite item or image as your direction to select paint colors, upholstered fabrics, flooring, accent pieces and so much more.
Instilling calm, confidence, and connection, this enduring blue hue highlights our desire for a dependable and stable foundation on which to build as we cross the threshold into a new era.Pantone's 2020 Color of the Year
Mixing Traditional Style With Coastal Accents
Amy, a 30-something professional was ready to kick her dorm room design style to the curb. She sought a few key coastal accessories to bring a sense of sophistication to her newly purchased home.
The stunning Hagano Blue Glass Table Lamp makes a big statement in her tiny traditional style condo. It will mesmerize you as if your gazing into the deepest, clearest, coolest pool of water.
The embroidered Circle patterned luxury pillow adds elegance, texture and a pop of whimsy which perfectly suits its young owner.
And the bright woven cotton throw blanket in coastal blues and creams beckons an afternoon of curling up on the couch with a good book or binge-watching The Bachelor.
How Classic Blue mixes and matches with other colors
We curated color palettes to go along with the items from Caron’s Beach House. You’ll see how Classic Blue really does go with other colors that are probably already in your home.
Layer a few home decor accessories in Classic Blue for a timeless look
In a previous post 10 Basic Layers of Coastal Design, we go step-by-step to creating a seamless and cohesive design.
In Layer 8 your personality gets to shine with Artwork, Mirrors and Objet d’art. This layer is all about accessorizing your home with items that hold meaning to you. If there’s ever a time to throw caution to the wind and express yourself, this is the place to show off and have fun.
Classic Blue Design Board for a Living Room
Okay, this is for total extra design credit!
After making a color palette dust off your inner designer and create a room design (or mood) board just like the pros.
In this example I chose living room items that were closely related to Classic Blue. You’ll want to incorporate items you already own and maybe a few new pieces you wish to purchase. Be sure to mix in some of your palette colors for variety. You don’t want everything matchy-matchy.
DIYers will want to include any upcycled or makeover ideas.
