So remember how Penguin brought out those popular titles with the orange covers and stylists and designers started using them decoratively like EVERYWHERE? Then came the hot pink covers for charity and now, my personal favourite (although I never have been a crime reader) the green covers are here! Could it be merely coincidence that emerald is the Pantone colour of the year?
Thank you Penguin, for the endless, colour-coded styling inspiration.
To celebrate the new Pantone Colour of the Year, Emerald, I’ve teamed up with the lovely folks over at In A Designer Home to run a fun little Pinterest comp were you could win a set of Muuto Green Dots worth $199. Find out how to take part here.
Interior designer Lorena Gaxiola shares 5 cost-effective tips to refresh your home this New Year, from painting a blackboard wall to incorporating the colour green.
“Our home is the perfect place to start when it comes to kicking off a successful new year. It’s our bedrock, our retreat and for many of us, the centre of our universe. It makes sense to spend some time making it a place we feel good about,” says Lorena.
Try one or more of these five ideas!
Goodbye Tangerine bloody Tango. I do not like orange. I find it really hard to work with. I feel like it’s been colour of the year for way longer than a year and I have been waiting for this day! I’m much happier with Emerald (17-5641), described by Pantone as “a lively, radiant, lush green”.
To arrive at the Colour of the Year selection, Pantone quite literally combs the world looking for color influences. This can include the entertainment industry and films that are in production, traveling art collections, hot new artists, popular travel destinations and other socio-economic conditions. Influences may also stem from technology, availability of new textures and effects that impact color, and even upcoming sports events that capture worldwide attention.
