For those who haven\u2019t heard or read about this, I will give you a brief explanation. The Pantone company is based in New Jersey and is best known for its colour matching system which is used across graphic design, fashion, interiors, printing and manufacturing. For the past 20 years, Pantone has chosen a colour which they declare as the \u2018Colour of the Year\u2019 and a colour which they feel will be a real feature of that year. So, I thought I would share this year\u2019s colour with you \u2013 Classic Blue. A simple, yet elegant colour which works so well in a whole array of ways which we have plenty of evidence of here at Floors of Stone.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"sharer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Banner-image7.jpg\"><ul id=\"socialshare\"><!--<li class=\"fb\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/share?app_id=688330137993706&display=popup&href=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/pantones-colour-of-the-year-2020\/?img=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Banner-image7.jpg\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"tw\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/pantones-colour-of-the-year-2020\/&text=Pantone's Colour of the Year 2020\"><\/a><li>--><li class=\"pt\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button?&url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/pantones-colour-of-the-year-2020\/&media=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Banner-image7.jpg\"><\/a><li><\/ul><\/div><\/p>\n<p>The first product we have which ties in beautifully with this year\u2019s colour are our gorgeous Indian Peacock Blue Handmade Tiles.

These beautiful splashback tiles are created using traditional Japanese techniques which consists of a low-firing process whereby the ceramics are removed from the kiln whilst still extremely hot and quickly transferred to a container containing combustible materials. It is this temperature change which causes the cracking and crazing across the tiles. If you would like to fit in with the Classic Blue colour this year, then our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/our-tile-range\/splashback-tiles\/raku-sienna\">Raku Sienna<\/a> tiles are a perfect choice. With rich shades of navy, amber and chestnut, these cosy colours will bring a real sense of warmth to your home. Due to the traditional methods used, each tile is hand finished making each one of them truly unique. As well as the Raku Sienna, we also stock the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/our-tile-range\/splashback-tiles\/raku-aurora\">Raku Aurora<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/our-tile-range\/splashback-tiles\/raku-georgette\">Raku Georgette<\/a> \u2013 priced at just \u00a36 and \u00a37 per tile respectively.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"sharer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Raku-Sienna-4.jpg\"><ul id=\"socialshare\"><!--<li class=\"fb\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/share?app_id=688330137993706&display=popup&href=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/pantones-colour-of-the-year-2020\/?img=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Raku-Sienna-4.jpg\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"tw\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/pantones-colour-of-the-year-2020\/&text=Pantone's Colour of the Year 2020\"><\/a><li>--><li class=\"pt\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button?&url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/pantones-colour-of-the-year-2020\/&media=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Raku-Sienna-4.jpg\"><\/a><li><\/ul><\/div><\/p>\n<p><em>Raku Sienna Splashback Tiles<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As well as our range of tiles to fit in with Pantone\u2019s colour of the year, our sister company, deVOL Kitchens, have the perfect option if you\u2019re considering purchasing a new kitchen this year. Their Pantry Blue shaker kitchen colour is one of my personal favourites but also seems to be very popular amongst customers too. A truly classical colour which complements almost all of our flooring options ranging from light travertine, to grey limestone to dark parquet blocks. One of my favourite deVOL projects is the \u2018Leicestershire in the Woods\u2019 kitchen which featured a Pantry Blue shaker kitchen. They decided to go for a fairly simplistic look but kept a wonderful and authentic ambience. They paired their Pantry Blue kitchen with our timeless <a href=\"https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/our-tile-range\/limestone-tiles\/worn-grey-limestone-tiles\">Worn Grey Limestone<\/a> for that added character.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"sharer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/The-Leicestershire-Forest-Kitchen-260.jpg\"><ul id=\"socialshare\"><!--<li class=\"fb\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/share?app_id=688330137993706&display=popup&href=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/pantones-colour-of-the-year-2020\/?img=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/The-Leicestershire-Forest-Kitchen-260.jpg\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"tw\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/pantones-colour-of-the-year-2020\/&text=Pantone's Colour of the Year 2020\"><\/a><li>--><li class=\"pt\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button?&url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/pantones-colour-of-the-year-2020\/&media=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/The-Leicestershire-Forest-Kitchen-260.jpg\"><\/a><li><\/ul><\/div><\/p>\n<p><em>Pantry Blue shaker kitchen with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/our-tile-range\/limestone-tiles\/worn-grey-limestone-tiles\">Worn Grey Limestone <\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"sharer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Shaker_Staffordshire_-Light-Tumbled-Travertine.jpg\"><ul id=\"socialshare\"><!--<li class=\"fb\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/share?app_id=688330137993706&display=popup&href=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/pantones-colour-of-the-year-2020\/?img=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Shaker_Staffordshire_-Light-Tumbled-Travertine.jpg\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"tw\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/pantones-colour-of-the-year-2020\/&text=Pantone's Colour of the Year 2020\"><\/a><li>--><li class=\"pt\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button?&url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/pantones-colour-of-the-year-2020\/&media=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Shaker_Staffordshire_-Light-Tumbled-Travertine.jpg\"><\/a><li><\/ul><\/div><\/p>\n<p><em>Pantry Blue shaker kitchen with our <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/our-tile-range\/travertine-tiles\/light-tumbled-travertine-tiles\"><em>Light Tumbled Travertine<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"sharer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_0942.jpg\"><ul id=\"socialshare\"><!--<li class=\"fb\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/share?app_id=688330137993706&display=popup&href=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/pantones-colour-of-the-year-2020\/?img=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_0942.jpg\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"tw\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/pantones-colour-of-the-year-2020\/&text=Pantone's Colour of the Year 2020\"><\/a><li>--><li class=\"pt\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button?&url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/pantones-colour-of-the-year-2020\/&media=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_0942.jpg\"><\/a><li><\/ul><\/div><\/p>\n<p><em>Pantry Blue kitchen with our <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/tile-range\/wood-flooring\/chatsworth-oak-parquet\"><em>Chatsworth Oak Parquet<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I hope you feel a little more inspired for the upcoming year after reading this blog and maybe even considering adding a little bit of blue to your home.
