How to Use the Color of the Year
By: Jamey Ordolis
The Pantone color of the year is Honeysuckle (18-2120). According to the world's color authority, it's:
"Courageous. Confident. Vital. A brave new color, for a brave new world.
Let the bold spirit of Honeysuckle infuse you, lift you and carry you through the year.
It's a color for every day - with nothing "everyday" about it."
Steven and Chris are so in love with this color right now that it inspired their design for a vibrant girl's bedroom in their Ask Steven & Chris column in this month's Style at Home magazine.
Here are some other ways to inject this stimulating and pretty color into your home:
Pillows
Organic blockprint pillows from Madeleine Weinrib.
Letterpress La Vie En Rose 11 x 14 Art Print, Sycamore Street Press on Etsy.com
NY Cricket Art Print from JKL Design on Etsy.com
Books
All books available at Chapters/Indigo
Create your own protective jackets with art or craft paper (image from Apartment Therapy story).
Accent Furniture
Sofa, wing chair and side tables available at Room Service.
Flowers
They may not last, but flowers are an easy way to infuse instant color into your space. While the Honeysuckle is a flower, you're better off using roses, peonies, dahlias and larger flowers to imitate to achieve that shot of pink in bouquets.
