Pantone, the global authority on colour, has decreed Greenery the Colour the Year 2017, and they describe the hue as, "A fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the first days of spring when nature’s greens revive, restore and renew."
We share five ways to bring this refreshing and reinvigorating colour into your home:
1) Plants
The obvious way to bring Greenery into your home is with foliage. Be it cut flowers, pot plants or even a living wall, bring nature in for an instant transformation with minimal effort and cost.
2) Feature wall
A feature wall painted in Greenery will give your space instant drama and depth. Strategically placed furniture will work wonders against this wall, so pick your favourite pieces and give them a refreshed and striking backdrop.
3) Accessories
If you’re not 100% convinced about this colour yet, trickle it in slowly with accessories. Greenery is particularly effective on textiles and in glassware, and we’re sure that with a couple of pieces around, you’ll be a convert in no time.
4) Wall decals
Greenery is a great gender neutral colour, so now you have the perfect excuse to makeover your kids’ room. Why not start small with a leafy vinyl wall decal?
5) Wallpaper
For those of you as crazy about Greenery as we are, take the plunge and invest in a Greenery-inspired wallpaper – not only will it be a guaranteed talking point, but it’ll also bring a freshness and new energy into your home for years to come.
