We’re getting closer and closer to the end of a year. And, in fact, the end of the decade. So, you may be wondering where to take your interior design next. Perhaps you love the look of your home but feel it could use an injection of colour. Or, maybe you’re looking for an entire overhaul. Well, look no further than Classic Blue. Predicted to be the Colour of the Year in 2020, this versatile tone is one you’ll find easy to dress in your home. And, if you find the bulk of your inspiration flurries towards the end of the year, we’re here to help you put it to work.
What is Classic Blue?
According to Pantone’s official website, Classic Blue is described as follows:
‘Instilling calm, confidence, and connection, this enduring blue hue highlights our desire for a dependable and stable foundation on which to build as we cross the threshold into a new era.”
This timeless blue looks almost light the sky at dusk, being warm and deep enough to make a statement. Equally, it can be used through accents and will suit both modern and classic homes alike. In this blog, we’re going to show you just a few ways you can introduce this colour into your home through your window blinds. Over the course of this blog post, we’ll show you variations of Classic Blue and how it can be worked into the rooms around your house.
Banlight Duo FR Blue Roller Blinds
Starting with the most classic option, our Banlight Duo FR Blue blinds are a simplistic way to play with these tones. Provided in a solid colour, they are manufactured bespoke to your needs and use a high-quality blackout fabric. When rolled down, they allow you to easily control light while maintaining a style that will see you way into 2020. We see them hung in bedrooms, paired with muted greys and aqua tones. Alternatively, set against bold statement wallpaper to accentuate the rich blue hue.

Vitra Royale Roller Blinds
Another classic roller blind option, the Vitra Royale Blue brings a most vibrant offering to the table. Similar to the blinds above, these have a rich blue tone that sits very closely to that of Classic Blue. They roll up and down with a standard pull cord and can be made-to-measure according to your window dimensions. Pair with whites or lighter neutrals to let the rich colour take pride of place. Consider hanging these in your office space to bring the calming nature of clear skies into your work space at any time of the day.

Use in kitchens and bathrooms, or any room where moisture content is high. The quality construction allows them to be made bespoke to your measurements. And, a simple pull cord operation means they’ll glide up and down with ease. Use as a focal point in small and large bathrooms alike with the confidence of quality for many years to come.

Atlantex Asc Dark Blue Roller Blinds
Opt for something darker in spaces large enough to accompany it. Our Atlantex Asc Dark Blue Roller Blinds are the perfect choice. Deeper in their tone, they pair well with warmer woods to create a homely environment. These window blinds are made from solar reflective fabric which keeps the sun’s heat at bay. This prevents your home from becoming a heat box and extends usability. Hang them in dining rooms alongside your family table and benefit from all long comfort while you dine with loved ones.
