Pantone of the Year: meet the key-elements for your home

“We are living in a time that requires trust and faith. It is this kind of constancy and confidence that is expressed by PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue, a solid and dependable blue hue we can always rely on. Imbued with a deep resonance, Classic Blue provides an anchoring foundation. A boundless blue evocative of the vast and infinite evening sky, Classic Blue encourages us to look beyond the obvious to expand our thinking; challenging us to think more deeply, increase our perspective and open the flow of communication.”
Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute

If you are a fan of bluish tones, we guarantee that the following suggestions will captivate your attention. Let yourself be inspired by the most varied key-elements that can make all the difference in every scenario of your home, from the kitchen to the living room

Blue is one of the predominant shades of the items in this unique collection, made entirely by hand. It has a variety of jars, glasses, plates and bowls which can be combined with more neutral colours, so that the impact is on the piece itself.

“Stockholm” collection by Stelton

Designed by the Swedish duo Bernadotte & Kylberg, the various items in this collection are present in two ranges: Aquatic and Horizon. Based upon a Nordic background, minimalism and sophistication are evident in this collection.

“BarWise” collection by Joseph Joseph.

The blue tint is present in this elegant range of utensils for bottles. For those who prefer to choose to highlight this color in the small details and everyday utilities, these suggestions are the best ones.

How to combine the items in the different scenarios of your home?

Classic Blue hue, “solid and dependable”, is always welcome in cozy spaces like our home. In the refuge of our house, it is essential to build a relaxing and simple atmosphere. The combination of items with this shade will build serenity to the different rooms of the house.

The classic mix of blue with neutral colors is a great option for those who want to highlight only some items with this shade, ensuring balance in bright environments.

On the other hand, you can choose monochrome decor. Rooms with a predominant color bring refinement and personality. For this, we suggest that you combine several shades of blue so that it doesn't get monotonous.

Besides that, you can also combine this shade with elements like woods, which also results in an aesthetic harmony in the decoration.
