Trend Alert: Watch Out For This Color To Dominate In 2020!

As summer comes to a close, Behr Paint has already revealed its Colour of the Year for 2020 – ‘Back to Nature’, an enchanting extinguished green with yellow undertones. This stunning shade takes its cue from the lush vegetation found in California’s natural landscapes. With its unique blend of earthy tones and sunny hues, ‘Back to Nature’ is sure to bring a touch of the outdoors into any interior space.

Whether used as a statement accent wall or a soothing background colour, this Colour of the Year has the potential to be a game-changer for home decor enthusiasts.

Cali Cool

The ‘Back To Nature’ living room concept, which has gained popularity on Instagram, perfectly embodies the essence of Cali Cool. The design draws inspiration from nature, featuring a harmonious blend of natural materials and earthy tones. A large green sofa serves as the centerpiece, surrounded by lush potted plants. The space is completed with a wooden floor, white walls, and eclectic bohemian elements like a Moroccan rug and wicker armchair.

According to Erica Woelfel, vice president of color and creative services at Behr, the warm green hue used in this design strikes the perfect balance between being too sharp or too light. It’s a ‘little bit warm, little bit dusty’ shade that provides a great background for layering other greens, much like those found in nature.

Maximalist

As we enter 2019, maximalism remains the dominant fashion trend, showing no signs of slowing down. This presents a unique challenge: how to create an even more striking combination than Back to Nature and excess. One solution lies in embracing nature’s beauty through bold, eye-catching elements like patterned wallpaper featuring bamboo leaves, statement tiles in the bathroom or kitchen, or a stunning wall mural as part of a gallery installation.

The expressive yet understated quality of Back To Nature makes it an ideal fit for maximalist interior design, where individuality and creativity are celebrated.

Oriental

Immerse yourself in the exotic vibe of Back To Nature’s vintage-inspired rug, characterized by its striking note of lime green. This unique piece is sure to transport your space to the Orient, where natural beiges and browns provide a perfect balance to the intensity of the greenery. For added contrast, consider incorporating muted orange, clay or brick tones to create a harmonious palette.

To further enhance the ambiance, introduce oriental patterns on textiles, an exotic sculpture, or a copper lamp – the perfect finishing touches for a space that embodies the essence of the East.

Loft

While lofts often evoke images of industrial spaces, Behr’s color palette can help warm up the atmosphere and infuse it with character. This is particularly true when incorporating natural textiles like rugs, which can add a cozy touch to the space. Regardless of whether the loft features wooden floors or concrete, white walls or brick accents, Back To Nature remains a strong choice that can draw attention and bring clarity to the design.

A sofa in this shade can effectively separate the living room from the rest of the space, creating a sense of distinction.

Glamour

The ‘Back To Nature’ aesthetic takes on a new dimension when combined with yellow undertones. This harmony is particularly striking when paired with golden elements or materials that exude a sense of nobility, such as velvet. In this context, the glamour style emerges as a natural fit, as yellow and green hues never fail to impress.

A lush setting featuring tropical plants, a gilded bar cart, eye-catching wallpaper, and sophisticated accessories provides the perfect backdrop for this glamorous take on ‘Back To Nature’.
