The Pantone palette colour for the year for 2020 is Classic Blue 19-4052.
A timeless and enduring blue hue which is elegant in its simplicity. Think of dusky night skies bringing a sense of peace and tranquillity to the human spirit. Instilling calm, confidence and connection, this enduring blue hue highlights our desire for a dependable and stable foundation on which to build your new room designs.
In your home design, use classic blue as your main backdrop to furniture and wall coverings whether paint or wallpaper.
For furniture classic blue velvet teamed with bold floral prints gives a sumptuous regal feel to any interior.
The new collection “Journey Beyond” by Prestigious encapsulates bold floral patterns printed on velvet. My absolute favourite is the Bengal Tiger Twilight fabric with its bold print on a background of classic blue with accent tones of acidic yellows and greens. Featuring the Bengal Tiger of burnt orange tones very on trend for 2020.
Accessorise your room with coloured glassware and exotic flowers. Tiger lilies have a gorgeous deep terracotta and ochre hue.

As 2020 is the start of a new decade, it’s a fresh start. A new dawn. In an increasingly hectic and digital world, there is a desire for meaning and kindness. So, inspired by the colours of the morning sky, Dulux’s colour experts have created an inspiring new shade, Tranquil Dawn.
This versatile colour changes according to the tones used with it. It blends with warm neutrals to soft and bright palettes. Tranquil Dawn’s tone sits between green, blue and grey imagine the fleeting beauty of a morning sky.
Unlike other shades of Dulux green paint, the versatile Tranquil Dawn seems to subtly shifts its tone depending on the shades that it is combined with. When used with neutral sandy tones, it creates a relaxed and nurturing space for focusing on wellbeing and positive interactions. Comforting fabrics, cushions and throws, warm woods and mood-boosting indoor plants complete this light and airy look.
Alternatively, use Tranquil Dawn on walls and ceilings to add a canopy feel. Add an accent wall using deep tones of olive, charcoal or petrol blue to add a sophisticated statement to any interior space.
