Trendy Wall Colors for 2020 – What to Expect
Light colors that visually enlarge and refresh spaces will remain popular. In 2020, this includes not only white but also various shades of gray, blues, and other pastels. What distinguishes trendy wall colors for 2020 from those of previous years is their originality and boldness in exploring new shades of familiar colors. The best example is considered one of the main colors of 2020 – neo mint – a well-known mint, but presented in a new form.
1. Neo Mint – Neon Mint
This color combines two strong trends into one. It’s not only a nod to nature, often expressed recently in interiors through plants, but also a nod to technology. The mint color gains a futuristic accent, evoking great technological achievements. It is ideal as the color of 2020, closing the current decade and opening the next.
2. Tranquil Dawn – Trendy Wall Color 2020 According to AkzoNobel
The moods accompanying the slow entrance into a new decade were also expressed by the Global Aesthetic Center AkzoNobel, the world’s largest paint producer, which recognized Tranquil Dawn or Minty Gray as a trendy wall color for 2020. It combines muted shades of gray with blue and green, reminiscent of the sky at dawn – symbolizing the dawn of a new decade.
This soft color pairs well with light interiors, including light flooring. Using planks with nicely highlighted wood grain adds coziness. A good example of an original floor matching this color is White Oak from the Natural Parquet collection.
3. Purist Blue – Cool Shade of Pure Blue
Pastel blues have been popular for several seasons. This time, we experience them as the cool Purist Blue. It’s modern, fresh, and fits well with contemporary styles. The bolder will paint entire walls with it, while the more restrained will apply it to select elements. Light grays on the floor complement Purist Blue well. An example is Drago Oak from the Ambiance collection.
4. Cassis – Romantic Dusty Purple
In 2018, we had Ultra Violet. In 2020, we meet Cassis – a color combining pink and purple. Very elegant, expressive, and rich in compatible styles. It fits both vintage style, evoking romantic manors, and modern style as a response to the latest trends. This is a strong color that, when used on walls, creates a striking effect. In vintage style, it pairs beautifully with naturally characterized flooring, such as W26/L26 from the Ideal collection with excellently rendered wood grain. In modern style, it works well with something light and elegant, for example, W21/L21 marble-look vinyl flooring from the Ideal collection.
5. Mellow Yellow – The Color of a Setting Sun
Different from the well-known mustard yellow, this is a more subdued and natural yellow that rightly ranks among the trendy wall colors for 2020. It suits many styles, becoming a great inspiration for creating rooms in both classic and rustic styles. It will win the hearts of freedom lovers and eclecticists who accept mixing many different elements and styles, allowing themselves to create original combinations.
