Perk Up Your Home’s Interior with Pantone’s Color of the Year 2022: Very Peri

Pantone® -THE global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the fashion, beauty, graphic and interior design industries – has announced their Color of the Year for 2022… the whimsical and wonderful Very Peri (PANTONE 17-3938). Described as “inquisitive and intriguing”by the color geniuses at Pantone LLC – an X-rite company (NASDAQ: XRIT) – VeryPeri is designed to inspire personal inventiveness and creativity. With the promise of springtime just around the corner, Green River Builders would love to give our readers a little inspiration of our own with five fun ways to perk up your home’s interior with a little Very Peri in your décor.

ExecutiveDirector of the Pantone Color Institute™, Leatrice Eiseman, had this to say about the newest in a long line of Pantone Colors of the Year, “As we move in to 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 color family, encompassing the qualities of the blues, yet at the same time with its violet red undertone, PANTONE17-3938 Very Peri displays a spritely joyous attitude and dynamic presence that encourages courageous creativity and imaginative expression.”

As 2021’s Colors of the Year – Ultimate Gray (PANTONE 17-5104) and Illuminating (PANTONE13-0647) pass the torch to Very Peri, here are just a few ways you can display your own brand of courageous creativity and imaginative expression – armed with a refreshing shade of periwinkle that is winning the hearts and minds of designers everywhere…

1)    Incorporate an Eye-Catching Accent Wall –Harmonious with neutral shades like PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer and PANTONE13-0002 White Sand and rich grays like PANTONE 18-3908 Volcanic Glass, you can make a real statement by incorporating an eye-catching accent wall – painted inVery Peri. For even more visual interest, cover the wall in shiplap or box paneling before painting – a really great option for a family room, media space or bed wall in the master bedroom.

2)    Bring In Pops of Color with Throw Pillows –An easy way to bring a little color in is with a collection of throw pillows and blankets. Whether dressing up a bedroom or the seating area in the living room, Very Peri plays well against white twill, linen and gray tweed up holstered furniture and bedding. This option is less permanent than an accent wall if you like to switch up your colors by season.

3)    Develop a Fondness for Flowers – The“peri” in Very Peri is short for periwinkle. Periwinkle isn’t solely a color…it’s also a flower aka Vinca Minor. Excellent as ground cover for your landscaping, it’s not really a flowering plant that thrives indoors. With massive improvements in the realm of artificial flowers and plants, you can expand beyond the pops of colors added in throw pillows and blankets to periwinkle-shaded faux flowers in vases and pots around your living spaces. If you can find fresh flowers in the same shade, by all means, incorporate those

4)    Brighten Up Your Bathroom – Much like throw pillows and faux flowers, bath towels and hand towels are inexpensive, simple tools for adding a functional touch of color to your bathroom. Whether you have white marble tile walls in an oversized shower, gray cabinets on your vanity or warm beige granite countertops, cheerful Very Peri linens would go a long way to brighten up your bathroom.

5)    Curate a Very Peri Accent Piece – If you feel particularly inspired by Very Peri, you might want to go on a treasure hunt in search of that one dazzling accent piece in the same color – such as a cozy chair or stunning piece of artwork. Can’t find one that suits your vision?You could always purchase Very Peri paint and create your own piece in an accent table.
