Pantone Colour of the Year 2021

Fashion doesn't have to be limited to clothes. Some years ago, color experts decided to create a year-end colour list to help interior fashion conscious people. What's the 2021 colour forecast?

Classic blue is the answer - it's a trusted shade and you wouldn't have any trouble finding someone who doesn't like that shade.

Although you might not be surprised to learn that blue is the year's colour, this shade is much more. Therapists suggest that blue is a soothing and reliable color. So, where better to get it than in your own home?

It's useless to have a particular colour if you don't use it. We're all about interior trends and have come up with some interior design ideas to incorporate this stunning shade. This is a rich, classical color that you need to match to make your room stand out.

Take into account the room that you are considering. It's always a good idea not to use a colour you don't like in a room that you often use. This lovely colour would look great in a living area with wood panelling.

If you aren't a fanof anything too traditional, and prefer a sleeker, more contemporary look, don't use this colour excessively. It looks great when used in large quantities but can also be used in smaller quantities. A feature wall can really bring attention to the colour, and will create the perfect contrast. Even if you aren't looking for a dramatic transformation, velvet sofas in the same colour as stylish lamps or velvet couches in this shade are an affordable way to achieve style.

We now turn our attention to the bathroom, which is our favorite room for this color! We are seeing more people opt for a more colorful bathroom than the traditional white one. It started with a mint green bathroom and then it moved to white. Now, we are looking for something a little more daring. This shade is not meant to cover the entire bathroom. Even we would disagree that it would be too overwhelming. Introduce it slowly, starting with bath mats, blinds, and ending with toilets. It will make your room stand out when paired with stunning Luxury vinyl tile flooring.
