Rose Quartz and Serenity

The Pantone Color Institute has selected Rose Quartz and Serenity as their colors of the year for interiors.

Try using these calming shades of pink and blue in your interior plan.

These soft shades of calm blue and serene pink make us feel more secure and at peace. When used in home décor, they add to our sense of well-being, helping take away the daily stresses of life in our own home environments.

Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director, Pantone Color Institute®, says “Joined together, Rose Quartz and Serenity 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.” Rose Quartz is “a persuasive yet gentle tone that conveys compassion and sense of composure, while Serenity is weightless and airy, like the expanse of the blue sky above us, bringing feelings of respite and relaxation even in turbulent times.”

Whether you use each color alone or use them together in your home environment, this year think Rose Quartz and Serenity for upholstery and drapery fabrics, rugs and carpeting, paint, tile and backsplashes, bed and table linens, and accessories.

Soften your home environment this year by decorating in Rose Quartz and Serenity.

PANTONE'S COLOR OF THE YEAR IS...

PANTONE’S SHOCKING CHOICE FOR COLOR OF THE YEAR 2016

December is busy with holiday festivities, but it’s also the month when Pantone, the leading authority on color, announces its decision for the coveted title of Color of the Year. The choice for the coming year–or more accurately, choices–has created quite the uproar in the fashion and design world. That’s right. Pantone selected TWO colors to share the spotlight in 2016: Rose Quartz and Serenity. Pastel shades of pink and blue, this color pairing is a huge departure from Pantone’s announcement of bright Radiant Orchid in 2014 and deep Marsala in 2015. While many are jumping to conclusions about the political and cultural implications of Pantone’s decision, we’re here to tell you what you really want to know: how to incorporate the Color of the Year into your home’s decor.
