Continuing to dabble in the world of blue, next year’s color of the year is inspired by technological advances and build on from the popular neo-mint trend. “AI Aqua” is predicted to be the ‘positive’ color of the year, giving vibes of the futuristic and innovation. Strikingly different from 2020 color of the year “Naval,” AI Aqua is bright, bold, and diverse, said to trigger feelings of clarity and has major ‘commercial appeal,’ according to FashionTrendsetter.com.

Already popular within the world of fashion and tech, AI Aqua is going to be taking our homes by storm too.  Check out ways to incorporate this bright blue hue in your home next year.

2. An Accent Wall… or Two

Another great way to incorporate aqua into your decor is by highlighting the color in your home as an accent wall in the living room, dining room, or in a bedroom. Accent walls can actually really change the whole feel of a home, and it will definitely be for the better. An aqua accent wall will add a touch of dimension, intrigue, and style.

3. Accessorize with Aqua

Don’t want to fully commit to aqua, we get it! By adding colorful accessories, bedding, and small decor items to your home, you can add contemporary style without full commitment. Aqua in the bedroom always says beach vibes, so complementing the color with seashells, burlap, or sea art isn’t a bad idea.

4. Dining and Dinnerware

Again, you don’t have to go all-out with the color of the year, and simply adding aqua-colored dinnerware, placemats, or vases in the dining room will do the style trick. Remember, aqua pairs well with white, so if you have classic white cabinetry or furniture, this color will truly fare well in your room.
