How to Use 5 of Pantone’s Spring 2015 Colors

Pantone recently released its Spring 2015 Fashion Color Report.  With colors such as bright tangerine and bold scuba blue, you may be wondering how you could possibly incorporate these colors into your home—especially if your space is a tiny apartment.

The good news is that painting your walls is just one way these colors can be added to your rooms—we’re giving you some other options.  Here’s a look at our five favorite Pantone Spring 2015 colors (there’s 16 of them—see an entire list here:  http://www.pantone.com/pages/fcr/?season=spring&year=2015&pid=11) and new ways you can use them.

 

TangerineTangerine (Pantone 15-1247)
This happy color just cheers up your day and is a great addition to your home or work office.  Look for tangerine-colored file folders, paper clips or pencils (we love these from Specklefarm).  Adding these supplies to the top of your desk will make the whole room seem brighter.

 

 

 

Scuba BlueScuba Blue (Pantone 16-4725)
When used as a solid color, Scuba Blue may prove to be too much for even an accent wall.  Instead, opt for using the color in your accessories like these vintage blue glasses from Etsy. Glass items in the Scuba Blue color look even more amazing when hit by a little light.

 

 

 

 

lavender-plant-flowerpot-white-background-34605241Lavender Herb (Pantone 16-3310)
What we really love about this color is that you can actually buy “lavender herb” to add this hue to your home.  Pick up a potted lavender plant and consider putting it in your bedroom—the herb is known to ease anxiety and insomnia.

 

 

 

Classic BlueClassic Blue (Pantone 19-4052)
Classic Blue is a great color for kitchens and bathrooms—especially when paired with white.  Look beyond your walls and consider putting this pop of color in unexpected places such as ceilings and floors—we love this rug from Elle Décor.

 

 

 

CustardCustard (Pantone 13-0720)
This is one of our favorite Spring 2015 colors.  Unlike traditional yellow, this shade is not as bright and is great in upholstery, pillows and linens.  Dress your bed up in custard-color sheets like these we found from Crate & Barrel.
