Let Pantone's Rose Quartz and Serenity add to your homes’ interior by using them as an accent or sub-dominant colour in a more neutral scheme.

For the first time ever, PANTONE has chosen two shades as its PANTONE Colour of the Year for 2016. According to them, - a soft shade of pink - is a persuasive yet gentle tone which conveys compassion and a sense of composure. Serenity is weightless and airy, like an expansion of the blue sky above us, bringing feelings of relief and relaxation even in troubled times

"I am excited about incorporating these colours into décor environments as the visual contrast between these two hues will give a balanced and harmonious look to any room. This is due to the fact that they gently blend into one another on the colour wheel and they are representative of both warm and cool tones," explains Liza Watermeyer of Tile Africa

 

 

Liza shares a few tips on how to incorporate these colours in the home:

 

The right combination

Let these tints add to your homes’ interior by using them as an accent or sub-dominant colour in a more neutral scheme. Pairing Rose Quartz and Serenity with white will result in a fresh, modern look, whereas combining matt finishes with natural wood, stone, taupe or even green, will give a laid back, natural feel to your interior. If its luxe and drama you’re after, consider using a brighter hue along with these lighter tones in shiny, reflective surfaces. Or, add silver or gold in the form of a mirror to finish off the look.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the Bathroom

Giving your bathroom an updated look that incorporates these colours is fairly easy. Accessorise your bathroom with towels, a bathroom mat, soaps and candles in one or even both of the colours. Add a freestanding table or wall mounted shelf painted in a lighter tone to hold all these bathing essentials. Complete the look with a potted plant in a container that mimics your chosen colour/s.

 

In the Bedroom

Add a soft, dreamy throw in either Rose Quartz or Serenity to the end of the bed. Trim neutral curtains in a matching hue and coordinate with pillows on an upholstered daybed or chaise in an analogous shade. Silk, linen and mohair look especially good in these gentle, relaxing tones.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the Kitchen and Living areas

Today many appliances come in these beautiful colours so why not consider combining these appliances with matching crockery on open shelves in the kitchen. Use frames in these hues on a white wall for black and white etchings or sketches. Combine texture, light wood/ metal furniture in a matt patina and use any one of these colours for selected objects, occasional chairs and artwork.
