How to Add Pantone’s Color of the Year to Your Home

January 27, 2017

The news is out and it’s exciting: Pantone’s color of the year for 2017 is greenery. This is a shade of green that’s bright, cheerful, and warm. It brings to mind new beginnings – which is what the new year’s all about. If you want to incorporate it into your home, there’s no reason to get out the paint bucket and change your entire décor. Just use these ideas to bring it into your home in beautiful ways.

Get new pillows – or pillow covers – for your couch

Greenery fits in with a lot of different color schemes. If you think it would work in your living room, resist the urge to go out and buy brand new pillows. Instead, just buy pillow covers. Half Price Drapes offers them in pairs and you’ll be impressed both with our affordable prices and the quality pillows available to you.

Buy a new lamp

Adding a new lamp to a room, or replacing an existing lamp, is a great way to bring in color without making a major investment. If you love the lamp you have, then you might even consider buying just a new lampshade that incorporates greenery. This allows you to hold on to what you like while still bringing in a new color.

Invest in new green curtains

Curtains are an affordable option to update any room, and they offer a ton of benefits including increasing energy efficiency, protecting against allergens, and more. We’re proud to offer almost 40 different options in green curtains. Choose from several different headers, a wide range of patterns, different shades of green, and different fabrics. If you don’t find exactly what you want, you can even order custom curtains.

Find a new piece of art

It’s always a great time to buy a new piece of art, but this is even more true when it comes to incorporating a color into your room. This is especially true for homeowners who don’t feel that green would really work with their décor. What you can do is buy a piece of art that incorporates the colors already in a room, but also includes elements of greenery. This will allow you to add other touches of green throughout the room and draw them in together. Most people don’t want to totally redesign their homes based on a trend, but adding a few splashes of this lovely color certainly couldn’t hurt!
