Home Decorating Ideas Using Pantone’s Colors of the Year

New and inspiring home decorating ideas have never been easier to discover. With websites like Pinterest and interior decorating TV shows, you can find inspiration everywhere for trendy and chic decor, even with your wall paint.

And what better way to stay updated than using Pantone’s new colors of the year for 2016? This year, Pantone chose not one, but two beautiful colors: Rose Quartz and Serenity. According to Pantone’s website, the two colors “demonstrate an inherent balance between a warmer embracing rose tone and the cooler tranquil blue, reflecting connection and wellness as well as a soothing sense of order and peace.”

So, how can you transfer this balance to your interior decorating? Use wall paint! Here are a few different rooms to consider:

Baby Rooms

Rose Quartz and Serenity are great options for paint color in a baby’s room. Use one or both of these shades; maybe adding one to an accent wall. You could pick a color as a primary paint color for your wall and use the secondary color in the decor as well. This interior decorating trick is a great way to embrace an innovative color combination.

Sunrooms

Unique home decorating ideas can be utilized in all kinds of rooms, especially sunrooms. These rooms don’t typically have many walls, but you can get creative with your wall paint. Hire painters to paint the ceiling or even the frames around the windows. The sunroom should be a room where you can escape to enjoy the sunshine as well as a little peace and quiet. What better way to do that than using the Pantone colors of the year in your sunroom interior design?

Home Office

We don’t know about you, but sometimes a home office is not a great example of order and peace. If anything, it can be the exact opposite. The color of your wall paint can dictate your mood, which is why it’s important to pick a calming one for your office. What better way to incorporate those qualities than to use one of the Pantone colors as your new paint color? Whether you do the job yourself or you hire professional painters, it’s a great way to feel soothed in an otherwise chaotic environment.

Bathrooms or Laundry Rooms

Because the rooms themselves are typically smaller, the laundry room and bathrooms are less expensive to paint. Painting an accent wall in one of these rooms is not only easier, but is less of a commitment if you decide to change it again in the near future. You could paint one bathroom in Rose Quartz and another in Serenity. You could even dedicate one bathroom to Pantone colors and paint the walls the different Pantone Color of the Year every year!
