2017 Pantone Color of the Year: Greenery

January 26, 2017


This year the Pantone color, Greenery, is celebrated in designs and decor of various styles around the world. If you're not familiar with the color of the year here is a little info. Each year The Pantone Color Institute announces a symbolic color selection; a color snapshot of what is seen taking place in our global culture that serves as an expression of a mood and attitude (Pantone.com). 



The Pantone Color Institute has put together a collection of palettes that incorporates Greenery in a sophisticated way that relates to what all of us around the world see in nature (can see all palettes here). I have since seen Greenery in many different designs that range from modern to eclectic to  traditional. I usually gravitate towards more of an emerald green, but I put together a mood board using Greenery as an accent below that displays a more mid-century aesthetic using one of my favorite chosen palettes by Pantone; Deep Rooted. Are you a fan of this years Pantone Color of the Year??

Pantone Color of 2015: Marsala

January 24, 2015




Being in the design field as both a home stylist and an artist I am always inspired by colors. Marsala and its deep rich hue is a color I would normally stray away from -- until 2015. Don't get me wrong, I love designing and painting with rich, colorful, deep hues but anything in the "maroon" family would remind me of being really traditional and formal and that just isn't my style. BUT you can create spaces that are pretty darn amazing -- trendy, bohemian, classy, chic, you name it. Here are some of my favorite items and inspiration that include Pantone's new color of the year! I think I've changed my mind...

What are your thoughts on Marsala? Until next year ;)

Color of the Week: Hemlock

March 3, 2014

Before it became part of Pantone's Spring 2014 Color Forecast, I never knew this color as hemlock. I can now say hemlock has been one of my favorite colors for quite a long time. I refer to it as seaglass blue but this particular hue has a deep, rich feeling to it. It also has a beachy chic feel that can lighten and freshen up any space. I am SO excited about this color this spring. I hope you are, too!

Color of the Week: Sand

February 17, 2014

One of Pantones Spring 2014 colors, Sand, is my color of the week this week. Why? Well, what other neutral can you think of that can go with pretty much anything or look amazing on its own? I say why not keep this as color of the week...every week? It is the perfect color to create a serene, classy look but can also look just as fierce and chic. Here is a mood board I created with some items that I think are worth checking out for this coming spring...and for the rest of the year ;)

Color of the Week: Dazzling Blue

February 12, 2014

This week I chose Dazzling Blue as color of the week because of how bold and stylish this color can be. As you can see in the mood board I created, not only does this color look fabulous in fashion but also in home decor as well. This color looks amazing on its own, paired with black or white, and in patterns. You can also make your space feel as masculine and feminine as you like using a splash (or two) of dazzling blue. Enjoy!

Color of the Week: Celosia Orange

January 31, 2014

Since Pantone's color forecast for this springs collection is quite fantastic, I decided to start doing a Color of the Week, each week a different color from this fabulous forecast. Obviously, radiant orchid (Pantone color of the year) is included which I have done previous posts on. The great thing for me is that I LOVE color but love accessorizing with bold colors and prints. This gives all of us an opportunity to chose a bold color to accessorize with and know that you are being stylish and trendy at the same time. And if you choose pieces that are interchangeable - you can change the mood of your room just by switching up accent pieces. These colors that are chosen will be the "it" colors in fashion, textiles and interior design this spring. Enjoy!!

Radiant Orchid Inspired Living Space

January 27, 2014

Radiant Orchid has been named the 2014 Color of the Year by Pantone (see my past post where I talk more about this vibrant color). I decided to come up with a mood board featuring different shades of this rich hue. I especially love this color paired with stark white, white lacquer, mirrored furniture and gray. 

Yay or nay?

Coastal Living Space

January 15, 2014

I've been having an obsession over sea glass blue lately so I decided to create a mood board.  Not to mention Pantone's Hemlock is on their Spring 2014 Color Forecast which I didn't even know before creating this. When I think of sea glass, I think of the beach - so I decided to create a coastal living space with sea glass accents. I chose beachy yet modern furniture made with natural materials such as jute, burlap, linen and raffia which go really well with this color scheme. Now all I need is a beach house to decorate!
