Revamp your space with Greenery: pantone colour of the year 2017

February 3, 2017 by Catherine 11 Comments

Wayfair pantone colour challenge sponsored

What’s your favourite colour?

That’s a question I get asked a lot at the moment; Lily is very into colouring right now, and seeks my opinion on pretty much a daily basis.  My answer is always green, followed by her current favourite in second place to keep her happy!

I’ve always loved the colour green.  I suppose when I think about it, that’s probably a big part of why I love gardening and plants so much; it gives me a chance to submerge myself in a world of lush green leaves and vibrant colour.  I love bringing green indoors too, with houseplants, home accessories, and even the contents of my wardrobe.  Can you tell I quite like green?!

So as you can probably guess, I’m loving the 2017 Pantone of the Year: Greenery.  Here’s what the Pantone Colour Institute have to say about it:

pantone colour of the year 2017 - greenery

This colour is just so perky, isn’t it?  It makes me think of granny smiths, pristine lawns, and fresh mint leaves rubbed between your fingers.  Above all else, it says ‘spring’ to me, and all the new life and fresh starts that promises.  Wouldn’t it be perfect for livening up your living space?

As part of their Home Experts programme, Wayfair have challenged me to do just that, so here’s my take on how to use Greenery to revamp your living room.

Revamp your living space using Greenery, the Pantone colour of the year for 2017. Check out my top picks for bringing this versatile colour into your home.

1. Meridianus Green Area Rug  I love this smart geometric design, and it’s reversible too which is a bonus in a busy family home.

2. Nancy End Table  This fab little side table complements the contemporary look I’m going for, and the colour is perfect.  The fact that you can fold it away makes it great for small spaces too.

3. Monstera Leaves Framed Graphic Art  This print really embodies the Greenery vibe, I love how the bold but simple design brings a touch of the tropical into the mix.

4. Megapolis Table Lamp  If it’s just a touch of colour you’re after, this cute little lamp is a great option.  I’ve got my eye on this for my desk!

5. Scatter Cushion  This gorgeous printed cushion is another simple way to get the greenery look.  Wouldn’t it be a great complement to the wall art too?

6. Lacoma 3 Seater Sofa  Perfect colour, clean lines, and a little retro nod – brilliant!  There’s also a two seater option for smaller spaces.

7. Sacchetta Vase  I’m a big fan of simple vases, I think they’re the best way to really showcase beautiful flowers or foliage.  With it’s gorgeous flowing shape and bold colour, this vase is proof that simple can still be stunning.

8. Alamak Desk Top Plant in Decorative Planter  Of course, plants are a brilliant way to bring a touch of the Greenery trend to your interiors. They’re great for adding colour, texture and a focal point to your overall scheme, and you can move them around to keep things interesting.  If you’re not the green-fingered sort, this cute little faux succulent is perfect.

What do you think of my selection – have I got you fired up to add some greenery into your home?  I’m certainly feeling inspired to bring a bit more of the the outdoors inside!  If you’d like some more ideas on using Greenery in the home you can check out Wayfair’s suggestions here.

What are your tips for revamping your space with Greenery?

    I have quite recently bought some houseplants to inject some greenery into our home. I love them – lets just see how long I can keep them alive! Love the idea of bringing the ourside inside x

      That’s a great way to embrace the trend isn’t it – and you can move plants around easily to change the look of a room too. Hope they thrive for you 🙂

    I’ve never been a big lover of green preferring much warmer colours but I love some of these items. That sofa and vase are awesome x

      I think it’s a great colour to use as an accent on accessories – I’ve definitely got my eye on that vase too!
