The use of color can really transform a space. Bright colors like red and orange create an energetic environment, while cool colors like blue and green create a calming one.
You can subtly include colors to your space with accents like pillows and flowers, or make a statement with colorful walls or furniture. But how do you find a color that’s right for your space?
Pantone’s spring color palette is a great inspiration. It builds on the two colors or the year — rose quartz and serenity — to create a spring 2016 color palette including ten hues, both subtle and vibrant.
According to Pantone, the palette aims to transcend cultural and gender norms through the mixture of brights, which signify excitement and optimism, and softer colors that signify stability.
To help you introduce the Pantone colors into your home this season, FTD created a pantone and spring flower pairing guide. It matches each of the ten colors to flowers that bloom in spring.
If you’re a fan or rose quartz, decorate with peonies, dogwood, or camelias. If you prefer buttercup try forsythia, freesias, or daffodils. Whatever you choose, they’re sure to brighten up your home and make it smell great!
