As far as trends go, I'm usually a few steps behind, so here I am now reporting last week's big announcement. This year's color of the year from Pantone is EMERALD GREEN.
“Green is the most abundant hue in nature – the human eye sees more green than any other color in the spectrum,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “As it has throughout history, multifaceted Emerald continues to sparkle and fascinate. Symbolically, Emerald brings a sense of clarity, renewal and rejuvenation, which is so important in today’s complex world. This powerful and universally appealing tone translates easily to both fashion and home interiors."
I love how the idea of green has so many layers of meaning. On the kinder gentler side, green can be a way of life, a way to embrace nature and a lifestyle intended to honor it. On the flipside, there's no denying that green is the color of money. Greenbacks anyone? So it makes sense that GREEN has a universal appeal.
Trend setting aside, take a look at some fun ways to add the shade into (or outside) your home this year.
No fear of commitment here. I love the glossy finish on these green subway tiles, as well as the variation in the positioning that frames the sink.
A front door doesn't have to be a long term commitment. That's the type of trend I like to follow.
