Where Should You Include The Pantone Color Of The Year
Just like any other aspect of decorating, colors also follow trends. Pantone, the leading experts in color, recently released their “Color of the Year,” based on choices that are popular and also represent current events. So what is the color of the year 2017? This year’s color is “Greenery,” a color that is reminiscent of the greens of spring. It also symbolizes vitality and a return to nature.
Why Greenery?
Pantone says that they chose the greenery color because it is refreshing and revitalizing, a bright, cheerful yellow-green that symbolizes new beginnings, much like spring. The color blends well with bright colors but also works perfectly with black and white color patterns.
Green Wall Paint
The soothing color of Greenery is perfect for painting, whether you choose it for an entire room or just an accent wall. Accent walls are an excellent way to test the color before you commit to the entire room. The spring green will help improve mood and create a sense of relaxation. It brings thoughts of nature so you feel more refreshed.
Bathroom Tiles
Greenery-colored tiles are a perfect choice for a backsplash in your bathroom. The green will give your bathroom a clean fresh appearance. You can also create an accent wall behind your bathroom sink and add a glass-tile backsplash to offset the green. You can also add decorative hand towels in greenery for a slight splash of color in the bath.
Use Pantone Color Of The Year Accent Pieces
If you aren’t sure if greenery is the right color for you, start with small accent pieces. Throw pillows on a sofa or lamp bases in spring green. If you want to go bolder, consider painting your kitchen cabinets this shade of green or invest in greenery-toned appliances. Vases, chair cushions and decorative bowls are another way to bring greenery into your décor easily.
The goal is to bring your décor back to nature which is why Pantone selected greenery as the Color of the Year.
