Have you ever wanted to add a pop of colour to your space but are stuck on which one? Pantone has been announcing their Colour of the Year for over 20 years now. Influencing fashion, homes, décor, and design, the Colour of the Year for 2020 is their “Classic Blue”. Providing peace, trust, and tranquility to the space, the “Classic Blue” can be incorporated in multiple ways into your home this year!
Since the kitchen is the heart of the home, a blue hue will provide a sense of peace to you and your loved ones amongst the morning chaos! Check out the picture above, showcasing one of our Cobalt Homes (which is now listed and up for grabs!) with its blue storage cabinets and overall serene feel. Having the kitchen island provide a pop of blue will help bring some energy into the space without it feeling too overwhelming. This can be incorporated through the islands backing or the bar stools.
As seen in one of our popular showhomes “The Layton” in Jensen Lakes, the large tufted blue ottoman centered in the room brings a vibrant yet elegant feel into the space. This is a great way to make a focal point! A custom blue sofa is also a great way to incorporate some blue into the living room as a different option while making your space feel unique as well. Whether you use this room to relax and spend some quality time with your loved ones, or to binge watch your favourite Netflix series… blue is the right colour for you!
A couple of other options could be to add a blue/navy accent wall into one of your bedrooms. An accent wall is a great designer tip (as it does a great job of making it seem like you really know what you’re doing!) And it gets to be a lot easier to coordinate the rest of the room around it with more minimal décor/accent touches.
And there you have it! Whether it’s for your kitchen, living room, or bedroom… blue is the new black; It can be incorporated in a variety of ways within your desired space. If you wish to save yourself the stress that comes with a new house or trying to make your current listed house look like a showhome, Sarasota Realty will provide free staging if you list with us!
