Every year, Pantone, a world-renowned authority on color, releases a color of the year. In 2017, the color just so happened to be Greenery. As you can assume, Greenery is, in fact, a shade of green, but more importantly, it’s a zesty, refreshing, and natural green. Incorporating Pantone’s 2017 color of the year into your custom home will breathe fresh air into the space. Mimicking the lushness of the outdoors, Greenery will brighten up your home and make every day just a little brighter. However, you might be wondering, “how exactly do I use this bright green?” We’ve got a few tips for you:
Accent Wall Color
Greenery isn’t a color you want to do an entire room in. While it’s certainly refreshing, Greenery can become overwhelming when used in excess. Rather than paint an entire room with Pantone’s 2017 color of the year, consider making it an accent wall. When paired with a cool gray or even subtle brown, Greenery can make an entire room pop.
Kitchen Backsplash
Want to make a big splash in your kitchen design, use Greenery as the backsplash tile. Using solid green tiles with white grout will breath fresh, new life into any kitchen. It’s the perfect way to help you wake up every day. If you’re skeptical of using all green tiles, look for tiles with a pattern that incorporates Greenery or a similar shade of green to brighten up your kitchen.
Living Room Accent Pieces
If you don’t want to create an entire accent wall with Greenery, consider adding in accent pieces throughout the living room that features the shade of green. Vases, throw pillows, picture frames, and lamps can all add the perfect amount of freshness without overwhelming the space. Accent pieces are also the perfect way to tie the whole room together.
Dining Room Upholstery
Brighten up the dining room by switching out the fabric on your upholstered chairs for one that features Greenery. While solid Greenery fabric might be a little overwhelming, a pattern featuring the color could be the perfect amount of pop. Or, if you’re looking to make an even bolder statement, consider using a Greenery tablecloth and matching cloth napkins.
Master Suite Rug
When it comes to the master suite, you’re going to want something a little more subtle. While having a bright master suite is nice during the day, you’re going to want it to be darker at night. A great way to incorporate Greenery, in this case, is with an area rug. A rug is the perfect touch during the day and won’t be too noticeable at night.
