Pantone colour of the year 2021 is already announced!

The announcement of the colour of the year is one of the most anticipated events that the design industry specialists await. Pantone has chosen two shades for its Colour of the Year 2021 - Ultimate Gray and Illuminating, an "optimistic" hue of yellow.

The bright yellow shade, called Illuminating, is meant to evoke the "optimistic promise of a sunshine-filled day", while Ultimate Gray is a much quieter hue that speaks more of "composure, steadiness and resilience".

Let’s take a look at how to match one of the strongest interior design tendencies with curtains and other window coverings?

The easiest way to create a cosy home is to carefully use all the details including window coverings. Window decoration is very important as it can help to visually widen the space and to fill it with various emotions. It is important to understand that it is not only a mere tool to protect yourself from the sight of passers-by.

If you want these trendy colours to embellish your home, it is worth noting certain peculiarities. We provide you with some advice:

• Make your window covering an accent piece. Roller blinds, curtains, shutters or other window coverings can become a great accent piece of a room. However, make sure that there are more pieces in the same yellow or grey tone, for example - pillowcases, bed covers, rugs or lamps.
• Combine other colours.
• Get wanted effect with texture and richness. If you wish to create a strong, sophisticated effect, choose matte, as if muted tones. If you lack cosiness, warmth, choose warmer, stronger yellow and grey or other matching tones. If you want more calm, choose soft, pale, barely noticeable tones.

Roller blinds, as well as curtains, blinds or other window coverings, are a great way to apply the trendy colour tendency. You only need to reflect before decorating what effect in which room you want to create and consistently work towards it. If you are not sure about your choice, you can always talk it over with our consultants or you can simply request our consultant to come to your home. He will help you to decide about the best tones as well as the type and size of the covering. Do not hesitate to apply these charming colours as they will instantly fill your home with cosiness, peculiarity and comfort, created by your window coverings, which you will be able to enjoy for years to come.
