Interior Decorating with Spring Colors
Each season, Pantone delights designers of all genres with its latest color palette of the season’s hottest hues. The colors come from the runways, but find their way into all facets of design. And interior decorating with spring colors is no exception. The Spring 2016 palette offers an array of colors that tow the line between tranquil and transformative. And the top ten colors of the season are:
- Rose Quartz
- Peach Echo
- Serenity
- Snorkel Blue
- Buttercup
- Limpet Shell
- Lilac Gray
- Fiesta
- Iced Coffee
- Green Flash
Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of Pantone Color Institute, says, “Colors this season transport us to a happier, sunnier place where we feel free to express a wittier version of our real selves.”
These colors display a gravitation toward calming colors derived from nature with a twist of energy.
Here’s what Pantone has to say about some of the spring colors:
- Rose Quartz reminds us to reflect on our surroundings during the busy but lighthearted spring and summer months.
- A maritime-inspired blue, Snorkel Blue plays in the navy family, but with a happier, more energetic context.
- The high energy Fiesta is a harbinger of excitement, encouraging free-spirited exploration to unknown but welcoming locales.
- The popularity of this brilliant hue (Green Flash) is representative of nature’s persistent influence even in urban environments, a trend continuing to inspire designers.
But how do you use these hot hues in your home while creating a timeless look? Here are some ideas for interior decorating with spring colors:
