Use Pantone’s Color Of The Year To Re-energize Your Home

People from the fashion industry, architecture and design waited patiently for color giant Pantone Color Institute to unveil its 2017 Color of the Year. Last Friday, the color institute got a surprising mix of reviews and reactions when they finally revealed their chosen color, which is Pantone 15-03443: Greenery.

Pantone is known for having a huge influence over the design industry. The color of the year announcement, a tradition that began in 2000, has a huge impact on how people will choose their clothes and how they will paint and design their homes. Pantone chose greenery for its “refreshing and revitalizing” qualities, something that we surely need for 2017. Greenery is all about putting the past behind us and facing the future without any fear. It’s also a color that reminds us on the importance of nature and how we must protect it in our own small way.

The color institute received mixed reactions upon the unveiling. Some find greenery refreshing indeed while others compared the color to 2016’s favorite flavor which is macha.

Nevertheless, if you want to be in trend for 2017 then we recommend incorporating this green into your home interior. Here are the top 5 things that you should definitely do.
