For only the second time in Pantone’s 20-year history, the colour institution have chosen two shades instead of one for their Colour of the Year.
As we look to fortify ourselves with energy for the year ahead after the ongoing uncertainty of 2020, it makes sense that we should want to surround ourselves with colours associated with joy and resilience. ‘Illuminating’ a vibrant and aspirational yellow and ‘Ultimate Grey’ a dependable neutral represent exactly that.
These two independent colours have been selected to highlight how different elements can come together to support one another. ‘Illuminating’ reflects our need to know that everything will get brighter, whilst ‘Ultimate Grey’ is practical and grounding. Back in 2009, when Pantone selected a warmer yellow, ‘Mimosa’ in response to the economic uncertainty caused by the recession, they said “no other colour expresses hope and reassurance more than yellow”. A lot has changed in a decade, but we believe the need for hopefulness and optimism is as strong as ever.

Reflecting in the warmth of the summer months, our theme of ‘The Quiet Luxury of Escape’ explores our desire to take a moment to retreat from the pace of modern life whether at home or abroad. We share how our designs create space for that escape, inviting our clients to slow down and reconnect with the quiet luxury of intentional rest. Over the coming weeks, we will share a series of reflections on some of the places and principles that inspire us most.

When designing the interior scheme of a bedroom, we like to think of the bed as the focal point of the room and the bedside tables as the perfect bookends that frame this key feature.
