The Authority On Color Has Spoken…
The Pantone Color Institute has long been known as the authority on color. Pantone spends a great deal of time and thoughtful effort searching for the upcoming color trends.

It can be surprising and exciting to see the messages sent as the worlds of fashion and home design are laced with these chosen colors each year. What can you do with the color of the year 2017? Take a look…
Bring Greenery In…Literally.
One of the easiest ways to incorporate this exhilarating shade of green is to bring actual greenery into your home. The color of the year 2017 is named Greenery, and it’s spot on. Wanting the refreshment of springtime’s promise in our homes, look no further than topiaries, boxwoods and vases of fresh greens. Limes, green apples and other elements of nature can also make a color statement. The key is to bring in the accents that fit your personality and space. Give it a try and see what you think. The biggest surprise of this color is the way it invites happiness and charm into a room.
Infuse Color with Patterns.
Are there patterns you find yourself drawn to? Do you love the organized look of stripes? How about the contemporary appeal of geometric designs? In the world of home decor, there are plenty of ways to express your personal style, and the prints and patterns you find on fabrics and materials are perfect. Whether you bring the elegant details of damasks, or the fun finishings of eclectic designs, these patterns will help you achieve a personal look you’ll love. With the color of the year 2017 adding bright greens–and other rejuvenating shades–to your favorite patterns, you can make just the right statement.
Add Your Favorite Finishes.
Your personal design choices often center around a certain ‘look’ that places strong emphasis on the finish of the accents in your home. Natural fibers in drapery panels, shades and upholstery–like linens–bring simplistic design and a relaxed contemporary feel. Sleek fabrics and materials with sheen can boast modern designs. One of the year’s most popular trends has been Farmhouse Style, which brings in vintage finishes and distressed paints. You can easily mix it up by choosing finishes that contrast–as long as there’s not too many in the mix. Pair your industrial design elements with the softness of a cozy throw to create a personalized space you’ll love. By adding the color of the year 2017 into the accents of your home, you’ll bring a pop of color and intriguing design to your favorite spaces.
