New Year, New Colors!

Happy New Year!  Out with the old and in with the new!  Pantone, Inc. a leading authority on color and provider of color systems announced the 2016 colors of the year:  Rose Quartz and Serenity!  This blending of two colors is a first ever for the company and it's taking the fashion and home design world by storm!

Pinks and blues.....some people like it and some don't, but let's talk a little more about Rose Quartz and Serenity, shall we. :-)

Rose Quartz is a warm shade of pink and Serenity is a cool shade of blue.  Pink is a romantic color and blue is more tranquil and relaxing.  Pair the two together and you have a beautiful blend of wellness and peace.  You can see in the living room below how the blending of both colors provides a soothing and calming atmosphere and the furnishings selected coordinate well.

Nothing says romantic and restful retreat than this lovely bedroom.  The bed has a beautiful tufted headboard in a soft rose colored pattern and the bedding is a mixture of rose and blue solids and patterns.  

​This French country dining area is light and lively, with a burst of pink flowers and the built-in cupboard embraces a beautiful blue with touches of white on the doors with chicken wire.  Doesn't that jar of pink lemonade look tasty? :-)  Pantone did a great job choosing Rose Quartz and Serenity as the color of 2016!
