With the new year starting and the wind of renewal that is blowing in, paint companies are currently announcing their colour of the year. These companies are offering eclectic and creative palettes, which perfectly follow the trends of the coming year.
For 2020, we will among other things find colours inspired by nature, organic elements, and which convey a sense of well-being at home. It is with growing ecological awareness among the population that they were inspired to make these different colours that are reminiscent of the outdoors, with the thought of bringing such elements inside the house.
