Do you love the way colorful interiors personalize a space and turn a house into a home? You’re in luck! The Pantone Color Institute has just released the top ten colors that will influence design in the coming year, and these colors are already taking off in home design. Let’s meet the colors, see the neutrals and explore what’s possible in home interiors!
Say “Hello” to the Upcoming Palette
It’s a gorgeous mix of color. Many of the shades are not new to interiors, and that can make it a design-friendly way to boost the look of your home. With two blues, three greens and a couple of brown tones, the color pairing options are endless.
A Nod to the New Neutrals
This year’s neutrals are full of amiable vibes. Red undertones hint at the warmth of the middle three. The blue undertones of the bookend neutrals create personality. This year’s neutral palette is nothing short of soft and gentle.
Kicking It Off with the Kitchen
Can the kitchen exist with colorful interiors? The answer is a resounding yes–especially when it’s done as well as this one. The blue tile, the wood grain cabinets, the warmed up neutral countertops…it’s a delightful trio of chic sophistication. Do you love how the window trim is painted in a coordinated blue tone? Expect to see much more of this in the coming year.
Lovely Living
If you’re a fan of intentional detailing, you’ll love this next space. A cozy living room, with a connected workspace, this living room brings Misted Marigold, from this year’s top ten, to the forefront of design. The color is used on the staircase wall, with the opposite side adorned with wallpaper in the same color scheme. But, that’s where the color stops–just enough to create colorful interiors, without it feeling overwhelming. Full of vintage charm, the bookshelf showcases a well-organized collection of relics from days gone by. The furniture and accents within the space carry on the color scheme for a well-coordinated result.
A Beautiful Bath
What’s important to remember about creating colorful interiors in your home is that the amount and placement are completely up to you. You can love color, and want to use it in design, but keep it reserved for specialty features. And, when you have windows that open your home to a scenic view of the landscape, like this stunning bathroom, realize that nature will be providing part of the decor. These sheer shades do an amazing job of allowing the outdoors to be the backdrop for the space, introducing soft greens and blues into the color scheme. The sheer fabrics soften incoming light for a comfortable atmosphere. Coordinating with the natural scene beyond the windows, this unique flooring offers a gorgeous pairing of blue, beige and cream. The patterning gives detail to the colors–a perfect mix for this otherwise neutral space.
The Refined Drop Zone
Do you have a space in your home where family members enter and everything drops to the floor? Drop zones are common in most homes, and the answer has become this: To create an organized space with built-ins and doors that close off the clutter. Coats, hats, shoes…it’s a space that’s begging for attention. Why not color? This space brings soft green together with medium wood tones for an elegant result. From there, you can introduce additional splashes of color, like the rug this family chose.
The Posh Office Space
This home office starts with a clean palette of white walls, detailed with wall moulding that offers a sophisticated air. While the walls are white, the space is far from boring, as the other elements in this designer office create the colorful interiors that speak to the personality of the homeowner. That vibrant purple/pink chair pulls coordination from the area rug with Crocus, a top contender in this year’s list of colors. An area rug, an accent chair–it’s all this space needed to create a stunning design.
