This year, both Pantone and Sherwin Williams selected shades of blue as their color of the year. Pantone selected a true blue shade appropriately named Classic Blue, which they say installs “calm, confidence, and connection” and “highlights our desire for a dependable and stable foundation on which to build as we cross the threshold into a new era.” Sherwin Williams opted for a deeper hue with their Naval Blue tone, chosen for its ability to “evoke a prominent sense of confidence that fuses timeless color with a fresh mix of natural materials and textures that bring navy blue into a new era.”

As designer Nate Berkus recently noted at the National Kitchen and Bath Show, it’s key to only incorporate trends you truly love. Luckily, both these hues are truly enduring classics when it comes to the home, so they’re a great way to incorporate a “trend” while still creating a timeless look. And with such versatile shades, you can go big just as easily as you can add small touches of blue like an accent wall, blue home accessories, or blue hardware.
