If there is one thing we’ve all experienced in the cold months, it’s the “winter blues.” The abundant darkness and cold weather makes the thought of spring feel like an eternity away. Fortunately for us, there are ways to brighten up the inside of your home to make the weather more tolerable. And if anyone can help with that, it’s Pantone,. who just released their spring 2016 colors.
From pastels to muted browns, Pantone’s 2016 spring colors will add a dash of delight to any space.
1. Rose Quartz (bedroom)
Rose Quartz is one of the two Pantone colors of the year. This subdued pink color brings a sense of serenity to any room it’s used in. Make your bedroom a tranquil oasis with this pretty Rose Quartz duvet from Anthropologie.
2. Peach Echo
Peach Echo is a standout color that never goes unnoticed. The orangish-pink color embodies chic. We love this table from Target, as it adds just the right amount of balance and brightness to any room.
