As this special year comes to an end, please enjoy a round-up of highlights in which we revisit your most popular topics and pages. Color is still the main driver and has been now for a few years. I’m happy to see how much joy and influence color brings. In fact, in 2021, we are opening a new color chapter on Eclectic Trends and will soon let you know.

Not only is Jotun‘s Color Universes for 2020 your most viewed article, but this mood board below is also the most repinned image though we show more a few more color mood boards. I believe the title of the color line Meditative state of mind helps too; 2020 has been the year of (more)e self-care.

3// How To Create A Mood Board As A Business Tool – Ecourse
Still, three years in a row, this page is in the Top 5, and I couldn’t be happier. In 2020, I published a new online course after having had a basic format on the market for a few years.

I am thrilled to see all your interest and hope to complement the teachings in 2021 with on-site courses again in the second semester.
