Behr is pleased to announce Back to Nature S340-4 as our 2020 Color of the Year. It perfectly captures the essence of subtle and effortless green that can be found in a wilderness landscape or an indoor garden. Back to Nature is a color that is all about awakenings and is especially appropriate at the start of a new decade. As a lifestyle trend, embracing the great outdoors is both a personal and collective activity that is very popular. Whether planning a trip to a vast national park or strolling through a city garden at the end of the block \u2013 visiting nature is the time-honored method to balance and rejuvenate the spirit.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Bringing this\noutdoor color into your home is a soothing salve to the senses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Paint<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Back to Nature adds a pleasing, garden-inspired vibe to a home’s exterior. This shade lives happily with white window and door trim. In a back yard with a patio and even a poolside area, a white pergola topped with ivy adds summertime shade while enhancing the garden-like environment. The back patio is the perfect place for an outdoor dinner party, too. Add a white tablecloth to the outdoor table for a somewhat formal look. A floral centerpiece atop the table really ties together the nature vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nMake a statement with an\nentryway, whether for the front, back or side of the house, by painting the\ndoor with Back to Nature. This color adds a curious touch to an otherwise\nneutral exterior, making the home seem inviting to neighbors, guests and\nfriends you haven’t yet met. It also evokes feelings of health and nature,\nwhich adds a peaceful effect to the home before even entering it.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The living room is the perfect place to prominently feature Back to Nature on the walls. This shade is at once soothing and warm as a welcome alternative to white. Green walls look absolutely amazing in a room with loads of natural light pouring through French doors or large windows. This is the ultimate place set up a relaxing reading area, complete with a comfy sofa and side chair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back to Nature also provides a relaxing effect as a backdrop for a home office or study area. A mellow, modern green plays just as well with dark room accents as it does with whites. Complete the mid-Century look with an adjustable retro desk lamp, paired with a vintage office chair. A few potted plants and a framed plant-inspired art piece round out the look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back to Nature is an excellent backdrop for a living room decked out in muted and mostly white tones, no matter what the theme or style of the space. A white console table with antiqued white spindle legs serves as a space to display a favorite table lamp and a book or two. Add a few artsy decorative and sculptural pieces with interesting, unmatched textures and styles for an eclectic, modern vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t forget to add a piece of framed wall art, centering it above the table near eye level. To add a hint of nature to the space, use a framed photo or painting of foliage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to peaceful home environments, a light green dining room is sure to please. Back to Nature creates just the sort of mood that encourages pleasant conversations with friends and family members invited to dinner. As a wall color, Back to Nature plays well with wood dining-room furniture of just about any style. A mid-Century dark wood dining set upholstered in black looks simply stunning in this space, as does a dark wood floor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repurpose a white bookshelf nearby as a place to display a collection of succulents and other potted plants. For a home with an open floor plan, a large neutral sofa, placed with its back toward the dining area, divides a large room into separate designated spaces, such as a living room and dining room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A soothing green like Back to Nature can be used for the ceiling in a black and white bathroom, the overall effect is harmonious and revitalizing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back to Nature is also a welcoming shade for a window seat\/storage cabinet in otherwise white room. It creates an outdoorsy, soothing feeling that’s perfect for those mornings spent with a cup of tea and a good book, interspersed with glances out the window. A few hints of gray in the forms of accent pillows and even a patterned rug add a visual break from the two-tone look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
