Give your home and your wardrobe a new lease on life with the PANTONE 2022 colour of the year – Very Peri!
As we move away from isolation, into a year filled with possibilities and renewed hope, PANTONE has chosen a colour that symbolises our hopes and dreams for the year ahead.
Leatrice Eiseman of The Pantone Colour Institute notes, “As we move into a world of unprecedented change, the selection of PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri brings a novel perspective and vision of the trusted and beloved blue colour family, encompassing the qualities of blues, yet at the same time with its violet red undertone, PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri displays a spritely, joyous attitude and dynamic presence that encourages creativity and imaginative expressions.”
CREATE THE PERFECT MOOD
Did you know that colour can affect how we feel, respond or behave? The colour blue, or tones that have degrees of blue, is said to create a calm and hopeful environment. Very Peri is a bold lavender that boasts shades of blue for calmness and lavender for creativity and imagination – the perfect balance!
To create a comforting, welcoming ambience in your living room, for example, consider adding Very Peri with complementary white tones. Or to create a restful bedroom, try using smaller items in tones of Very Peri. Think cushions, footstools or lampshades. Pair these tones with silvers, florals or taupes for an overall soothing feel. Adding accent pieces is also a great way of taking advantage of this vibrant tone without over-committing.
HOW TO USE VERY PERI IN YOUR HOME
This eye-popping tone may not be your everyday choice, but that’s exactly why it’s perfect to add interest to your home. Very Peri makes for a beautiful, eye-catching feature wall in your lounge or bedroom, for example. Colours that complement this shade include white, pink, beige, navy blue, orange, yellow or grey. Keep these tones in mind when decorating with smaller items.
ADD IT TO YOUR LOOK
This beautiful shade stems from blue, but its warm red and violet undertones will bring a fresh, vibrancy to your look. There are plenty of ways to incorporate this creative, new tone to your wardrobe – whether you’re looking to move away from the same old black and white look, and make a new, bold statement from top to toe or whether you’re simply looking for a minor upgrade to add to your look, Very Peri has got you covered. Think bold eyeshadows, nail polish or lipstick.
