After such an intense year in 2020, we couldn’t be more excited to accept the statement made by Pantone regarding the pairing of two colors as the color of the year for 2021:
“PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating, two independent colors that highlight how different elements come together to support one another, best express the mood for Pantone Color of the Year 2021. Practical and rock solid but at the same time warming and optimistic, the union of PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating is one of strength and positivity. It is a story of color that encapsulates deeper feelings of thoughtfulness with the promise of something sunny and friendly.”
Not only do we agree 100% with the idea of encouraging solidity and optimism, but we look forward to working with designers in expressing these colors and feelings in exciting ways. As such, we have put together a little bit of antique carpet inspiration based on this wonderful combination of hues.

Ultimate Gray
We hope you find this little vision board useful, and encourage you to touch base about any of the carpets you see here, or to do a search for something else.
Here’s to a solid and optimistic year ahead!
