Sherwin-Williams 2020 Color of the Year Design Inspiration
Paint brand Sherwin-Williams announced its pick for 2020 Color of the Year, Naval SW 6244, a rich navy shade.
“Taking cues from the Roaring 1920s, Naval pairs well with luxurious finishes, such as marble and mixed metallics, and can help highlight items of exquisite craftsmanship. Designers and homeowners alike are embracing statement-making décor, and Naval is the new, approachable neutral that goes with everything,” the company stated in a press release.
There are so many ways to bring this nautical color into your space, aside from the obvious wall paint. Instead, incorporate drapery, throw pillows or rugs.
“Pair Naval with natural materials, such as warm leather tones, vibrant greenery, and woven fiber rugs, to create a calming oasis in your home,” recommends Sue Wadden, director of color marketing at Sherwin-Williams. “Furniture and décor can be mixed and layered to build a look as minimalist or maximalist as you like.”
The company conveys an inspirational message on embracing the next decade. “Navy is coming out of its comfort zone with you. 2020 is an empowering year of change that focuses on bringing your best self into the new decade. The next 10 years pave the way for wellness of the mind, body and soul – a clean palette for self-nurturance,” according to the company.
