Decorating Your Home with Urbane Bronze

|

The Sherwin-Williams 2021 Color of the Year was Urbane Bronze (SW 7048). Every year, Sherwin-Williams designates a “Color of The Year” that sets the tone for the year in design and color. Inspired by Scandinavian design, wellness, and warm minimalism, this color draws from the healing capabilities of nature.

Meant to “forge the connection between the modern built environment and the living world,” Urbane Bronze encompasses a rediscovery of ourselves through our relationship with the earth.

Ways to Use Urbane Bronze Paint in Your Home

In the Living Room

Urbane Bronze is the perfect opportunity to introduce Scandinavian design elements, like comfort and minimalism, to your home. As shown in the image below, wood accents, natural colors, and plants bring out the rich earth tones to create a warm, inviting space.

The espresso side table anchors the room, while the light beige couch keeps it bright. Urbane Bronze, the wall color, was expertly chosen to offset the potentially harsh glare of the sunlight and tie together all the different components within the room.

In the Bedroom

Urbane Bronze is also a great color to incorporate into other rooms in your home. In this bedroom, Urbane Bronze was incorporated onto an accent wall. It creates a beautiful contrast with the bedspread's soft hues and balances the natural wood's warmth with metallic elements.

This color is perfect for a primary bedroom. It bridges a gap between different design aesthetics, such as the boho-esque tassel chandelier and the rustic wood bedside table. The pop of green from the delicate plant truly ties the room together.

Paired with Another Color

The highly versatile nature of Urbane Bronze can be used alongside other Sherwin-Williams signature colors. We love how its earthy tones contrast against the softness of Modern Gray and complement the olive hues of the paint: Messenger Bag. This color functions beautifully by itself but pairs well with a multitude of shades and makes for a great accent wall. Create a cohesive warmth throughout your home with Urbane Bronze's rich, comforting essence!
