2022 Pantone Color of the Year: Very Peri

— by Stearns & Foster on Apr 1, 2022

At the start of each year, we’re encouraged to pursue change, creativity, and new resolutions – looking for inspiration to brighten our most cherished spaces. This year, we can all lean into the Pantone Color of the Year, Very Peri. The Pantone Color Institute created a custom color that exudes imaginative expression and personal inventiveness. This new color, Pantone 17-3938, is a perfect blend of faithful and constant blue and energetic and exciting red. During these transformative times, this relaxed yet bold color animates the creative and inquisitive spirit that lives within us all – calling on us to embrace the unknown and rewrite our lives through limitless possibilities. You can answer the call by incorporating Very Peri into several spaces within your home, helping you feel more invigorated throughout the year.

Winter is often associated with neutral colors like cream, gray, and off-white. While this exudes sophistication and understated stylishness, push yourself to add more daring accents. A simple addition, such as throw pillows with Very Peri featured in the design and pattern, will unlock an immediate sense of elegance and inspiration. We also recommend adding velvet or shimmery tones during colder months to help brighten the mood.

Spring – a time for renewal. By combining Very Peri with varying shades of green, yellow, and blue, you will find that a holistic and harmonious theme is brought to life in your space. Consider adding pops of Very Peri to your indoor planters or opt to include violet florals in your outdoor garden. Additionally, incorporating patterned rugs and wall décor can invite the essence of Spring into your home.

Summer. The most joyous and whimsical season of all. Very Peri is sure to bring out the best in all the brightest pinks, corals, yellows, and blues. To achieve this, try adding removable wallpaper in areas of your home that need a little love. You’ll likely find it adds carefree confidence within your space. The fun and spontaneity of this color palette will last throughout the entire season.

When Fall finally arrives, we’re always eager to introduce warmer colors into our daily lives – whether through fashion, home décor, multimedia designs, or more. By combining warm tones with the cool undertones of Very Peri, your home will experience a whole new visual vibration. Adding statement furniture pieces to your home can also help you accomplish the desired effect. Try choosing tones like muted rose, elderberry, and mustard that pair well with Very Peri.

The transformation that can come with each passing year is unexpected and unknown. However, you can achieve a sense of constancy when you allow innovation and inspiration into your everyday spaces. Through these extraordinary color combinations, you will enliven the playful freshness of your personal sanctuary.
