When it comes to remodeling in Northern Virginia, color can play a big role. Just ask our designers here at Schroeder Design/Build. There isn’t a project we do where color doesn’t come into consideration. So what are the color trends for 2020?
Each year, Pantone and paint manufacturers announce their colors of the year—the companies’ predictions on what they see as the trending colors for the year ahead. In 2020, nature-inspired hues dominate, along with soft pastels and timeless basics.
