Pantone Color of the Year 2022: Very Peri

This year's Pantone Color of the Year is Very Peri, a beautiful periwinkle blue with a violet-red undertone. This color perfectly blends calm feelings with a futuristic, creative vibe. This year's color is unique, as it is the first time that Pantone has created a new color in the history of its Color of the Year forecasts. Very Peri has the best of both worlds when it comes to vibrancy and calmness. Very Peri works well as an accent color on rugs, furniture, and walls. Add a splash of this new color to your home through an accent wall or furniture piece, or go all in and incorporate it into a room full of beautiful, calming shades of blue.

For another more gray-toned version of a periwinkle color, the Bennett Accent Chair is a stylish accent chair that doesn't put on airs.

Furniture and Decor that Complement Very Peri

If you're considering painting your walls with Very Peri, make sure you have furniture to match. Periwinkle looks great with grays, whites, and colors with purple tones and red undertones. Very Peri gives your room a creative but calming vibe. Consider using decor that matches this vibe, such as the Mink Rug in Silver and the Wanderer Pillow. These decorations can help support positive feelings when mixed with periwinkles.

If you're looking for furniture that goes well with Very Peri, consider simple pieces with white, gray, and wood tones, like the Icon Round Coffee Table and Carlota Loveseat in Grey. Pairing Very Peri with simple pieces can help to keep your space from becoming overwhelmed and promote calm and creative thinking.

Pantone Color of the Year 2021: Illuminating and Ultimate Gray

In 2021, the Pantone Color of the Year was a combination of Illuminating and Ultimate Gray. Illuminating is a bright and cheerful, almost pastel yellow. This yellow is not as intense as other yellow shades, but not as subdued as a pastel yellow. Illuminating is combined with Ultimate Gray, a quiet, versatile, timeless light gray shade. This color is a classic shade that will withstand the test of time, perfect for essential furniture pieces. The combination of these two shades can create a fun, uplifting room. These shades can also be used separately or combined with other colors to create an entirely different vibe depending on what colors you choose.

Consider adding pieces like the Copley Accent Chair or the Granada Reclining Loveseat in Arcadia Beamer Gray to your living room to add gray tones to your space. If you're looking to decorate your bedroom, adding accents like the Purple Softstretch Sheets in Gray can help you mix gray with other bedding colors like Illuminating yellow.

If you want to go with a more subdued look, choose styles like the Malise Table Lamp and Granada Rug, which pair well together in spaces with gray tones to create a relaxing environment.

Pantone Color of the Year 2020: Classic Blue

Classic Blue is a deep, vibrant, primary blue shade. This shade was chosen for 2020 as a comforting and relatable shade to start the new decade. It is evocative of a vast evening sky, opening a world of possibilities. This color can be used in a variety of settings. Incorporating Classic Blue can help create a calming environment in any space. It can be used as a pop of color in quieter spaces or mixed with other more vibrant colors to create a more intense, creative space.

Classic Blue furniture is a bold way to add this color to your space. Consider adding a pop of color with accents like the Sheena Accent Chair in Navy Blue. For a less bold option, pieces like the Tampa Sofa Chaise Sectional in Indigo offer a more subdued way to add blue tones to your space. Classic Blue is most often used as an accent color, so it is important not to overdo it. Otherwise, your space can appear too intense.

Classic Blue works well as an accent color in rooms that need a pop of color and is a popular color choice for kids' bedrooms. If you have a child that wants a blue wall color and you're unsure how to style it, consider adding pieces like the Naialyn Panel Bed to bring a natural look, balancing out the intensity blues can sometimes have.
