As we start thinking about sheltering at home this winter I’m happy to share Graham and Brown Color of the Year 2021: Epoch – an emotive plum that encourages recharging while cocooning.
Each year, UK wallpaper and paint specialist Graham & Brown announces its Color of the Year along side their Wallpaper of the Year choice. Full of movement, color and exuberance, the Graham & Brown Wallpaper of the Year, Timepiece, marks the start of the 75th Anniversary celebrations of the brand which will run throughout 2021.
Timepiece is an amalgamation of prints dating from 1946 to the present day. The result is a striking wallpaper that stands to represent the essence of future and past designs.
In addition to the seasonal Amethyst color-way, Timepiece is also available in Moonstone (grey colorway) and Midnight (navy colorway)color options. And for the first time ever the design can also be produced as an amazing made-to-measure wall mural.
Graham & Brown Color of the Year 2021: Epoch
The “hero” color for the Amethyst edition of Timepiece is Graham & Brown’s Color of the Year. Calming and cocooning in tone, Graham & Brown says Epoch echoes a wider interiors trends which looks to create restful spaces for healthier, happier homes.
2021 will be a landmark year for color as we return to perennial favorites that have never failed us.
Time is an overarching theme that winds its way through each thread of our 2021 Trends Forecast. As the world we live in continues to shift and evolve at an ever increasing rate, we look towards the future through the lens of nostalgia. Both Timepiece and Epoch contemplate on the passing of time and what can be discovered should we embrace the opportunity to recharge, reflect, and rediscover our history.
Epoch works beautifully when used as a feature wall partnered with accents of peach and gold.
Consider using Epoch across all the woodwork within a room and pairing with either a lighter shade of purple or blue and a mid-gray to matte black for a sophisticated tonal scheme.
Whether you are interested in a color-block accent wall or a custom mural using Timepiece, you can’t go wrong in 2021 using deep moody tones to create your restful retreat.
