Pantone 2020 color of the Year, CLASSIC BLUE

PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue

There is no color more beautiful or more mysterious than classic blue.

For centuries, Classic Blue has been a color that craftsmen and artisans have used to create exquisitely decorated, and highly sought after, glazed potteries.

This deep soulful blue, creates the ideal background for the twinkling stars in the night sky, and the perfect touch of reflective color on the nocturnal tides of the ocean.

There's nothing basic, about this blue! Kudos to Pantone on their choice for 2020's color of the year!

Post Holiday Decor Boost

Once the glittered ornaments and colored lights of Christmas have been packed away, post holiday spaces can feel a bit drab.
This is the ideal time to experiment with decor color, texture, and proportion. Move things around a bit. Try moving objects from the bedroom to the living room, and vice versa. Add pops of pink, purple, or orange to your space to create interest and freshness.
Winter rooms don't have to be boring. Instead of marking the weeks until the Spring decorating season, make the most of the Winter months by incorporating decor that broadens your decorating comfort zone!
This photo shows the post holiday bookshelves in my living room.
I have incorporated blue and white Chinoiserie, personal photos, brass, and faux greenery, to give this space a much needed boost.
