Pantone has revealed the colors of 2016, and we’re thrilled. Serenity and Rose Quartz are gorgeous pastel shades in the most appeasing pink and titillating blue. Pantone couldn’t pick just one of these two colors and we’re certainly not complaining. They’re both equally stunning. Apparently the choice of two is not a compromise but instead was made because they are “a harmonious pairing of inviting shades that embody a mind-set of tranquility and inner peace,” says Pantone. These colors were picked to bring “serenity” to our daily lives, all the while being gender neutral. Don’t worry, boys, you can hop onto the Pantone train too!
Not only has the fashion world taken cues from Pantone to incorporate these colors in their world but also has home décor. They go hand in hand, fashion and décor, it’s safe to accept this. And these colors are entirely fit for most household settings. You can make small changes, like adding pillows and throws in these colors, or you can completely overhaul your space and not regret it because of the soothing hues of the colors.
Here’s how we suggest you incorporate these colors into your home.
If your home favors a neutral palette wherein large spaces of your home sport neutral hues, you can easily make Serenity and Rose Quartz a part of your home my placing a statement making multi-paneled wall art.
Grey goes beautifully with the 2016 Pantone colors. Both serenity and rose quartz complement grey stunningly. So if you’re looking to turn your boudoir into peaceful and soothing heaven, adding cushions and bed covers that display these colors would be a good way to go.
If you’re looking to completely overhaul your living room, start with your wall and slowly incorporate the colors, all the while never overwhelming the eye of the viewer with the shades. Keep a healthy mix of flowers to add a break of color and natural elements to even out the colors.
Painting your walls can be a big commitment to make, but if you’re not bold enough to paint an entire wall with these colors, start by adding subtle shades of the color to your existing paint. And let digitally printed wall art bring out these colors.
If your home, like this one, is flooded with natural lighting and you prefer to keep your home minimalistic and contemporary, the easiest way to incorporate these hues would be to add art to your walls that will elevate and transform your wall, while still complementing and supporting it.
If you’re a supporter of hardwood floors and have complementing colors already a part of your color palette, the world of Pantone can easily be welcomed into your home. These navy and inky hues uplift the overall look and feel of the colors of the year.
