Sky blue named as colour trend for 2021

According to the e-commerce site Etsy, sky blue is the 2020 colour trend that is predicted to last into 2021.

Etsy’s trend expert, Dayna Isom Johnson, says sky blue represents people looking ahead to bluer skies after the difficult period of the coronavirus pandemic. According to Real Homes, she explained that:

"While there are still so many hurdles to overcome, hope is on the horizon and there is a renewed sense of gratitude and connection to our communities. Etsy’s colour of the year perfectly represents this.”

Johnson added that sky blue is a tranquil colour that connects people to nature. There are many ways to add this pastel colour to a room, and a sky blue carpet is an excellent place to start. Many carpet manufacturers include sky blue in their range of plain coloured carpets, and patterned carpets featuring sky blue are also an option. Walls can be painted sky blue to lighten the room, and a contrasting coloured carpet can be added.

In the dining area, a sky blue tablecloth adds a soft touch, while a living room can benefit from sky blue throws draped on sofas and chairs.

Many colour trends come and go quickly, but Brittany Romano, writing for Real Homes, believes that sky blue is one colour trend that will stay around for a long time.

People are spending more time at home during the coronavirus pandemic restrictions, and this has focused attention on home improvements. Bright new carpets in North Wales homes are ideal for revitalising rooms.
