With the turn of the year, many are trying to project the trends that will define both the year and the decade ahead. Some clues to interior design trends are the color of the year selections of major paint manufacturers. The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) analyzed several major color of the year selections to project what color trends will be prominent in 2020 and beyond on its NAHB Now blog.

Clear patterns for 2020 include nature-inspired hues, soft, cheerful pastels and timeless basics to create inviting spaces intended for recharging to tackle the year ahead.

Pantone – Classic Blue, a simple, elegant hue that provides a relaxing environment.

Behr – Back To Nature, a restorative and meadow-inspired green that sets the tone for the company’s 2020 color trends palette.

Benjamin Moore – First Light, “a soft, rosy hue blooming with potential” to brighten the years to come.
