New Year means new inspiration. 2017 opens up new colour inspiration that can invigorate your home decoration ideas. Here are the colours that will be making an impact all year round.
Greenery
This is Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2017. This yellow-green hue embodies a calling to reconnect back with nature, authenticity and being organic. A break from the modernity of this world and a chance to go back to our roots, a refreshing rejuvenation. Incorporating Greenery into your homes brings the feel of the great outdoors inside our homes. A shade of green always enlivens our tired eyes and dull souls after a gruelling day at work. What better colour to choose for a new year than a colour that perfectly represents new beginnings?
Poised Taupe
Sherwin-Williams big winner for the colour of the year is Poised Taupe. “It’s like gray and brown had a baby”, says Sue Wadden, director of colour marketing for Sherwin-Williams. It is very versatile and can create balance when paired with the right elements. It can be both modern and classic, or simple and playful. Neutrals are totally making a statement right now and they’re here to stay.
Shadow
For Benjamin Moore, Shadow will be 2017’s colour of the year. It’s a bold colour but when paired with lighter coloured wall, it creates a warm sophisticated modern look. It is definitely a very interesting colour and adding it to your rooms in 2017 it will bring an instant unique character to your home.
Denim Drift
A soft summery shade of blue is Dulux choice for this year. Denim Drift embodies an everyday and everywhere colour that is pleasing and very versatile. This is a great colour which can be used to project youthfulness and calmness into your home.
Honey Yellow
Dunn-Edwards choses a vibrant Honey Yellow to be at the forefront of colours for this year. It’s simply a happy colour that will bring warmth and joy anytime. It’s fun and exciting yet the colour being softly desaturated it makes it perfect when paired with natural materials and textures.
