Discover how to add the 2020 Color of the Year to refresh your interiors and exterior.

Decorating Tips Using Pantone’s Color of the Year

1. Accent Wall

Add new life to any room by painting an accent wall classic blue. This rich color adds depth and dimension. Use it on a wall with architectural details, such as crown molding, built-in bookshelves, or a fireplace. When painted in a contrasting color, these elements will add even more visual interest to your room design.

2. Cabinets

Changing your cabinet color can instantly transform a space. Classic blue kitchen cabinets will brighten the room. Opt for a neutral wall color so cabinets stand out. If your kitchen is off-limits, try painting bathroom or laundry room cabinets with this bold hue.

3. Exterior Upgrades

Some home remodeling projects focus on exteriors, and you can find a spot for classic blue outdoors, too. A receding front door instantly changes the look of an exterior when it’s painted classic blue. Repaint shutters as well in classic blue to celebrate the Pantone Color of the Year.

4. Bathroom Tile

Elevate your bathroom design with fresh tile. A newly tiled shower or floor can redefine a space. If your bathroom is earmarked for an upgrade, use classic blue as your inspiration. Go for tiles that are all blue, or offset white subway tiles with classic blue accents.

5. Wallpaper

Wallpaper is another way to incorporate color and pattern into a room. Opt to paper an entire room, such as a powder room, or wallpaper one wall to make it a focal point. Look for wallpaper designs in classic blue to add vibrancy.
