Pantone Colour of the Year 2022: How to Incorporate ‘Very Peri’ into Your Home
Described as a ‘dynamic periwinkle blue hue with a vivifying violet red undertone’, Very Peri is bound to make a huge splash across homeware and accessories as the ‘happiest and warmest of all the blue hues.’ The colour has also made history by becoming the first brand new shade to be named Colour of the Year by Pantone.
The colour purple was often related to great wealth and royalty and dates back to the ancient world, where it was prized for its rich hues. Kings and queens would adopt purple into their clothing or uniform, and during the Roman times, it was an imperial colour which citizens were forbidden to wear!
Bring this richness into your home in 2022 with our top tips - from a vibrant feature wall, to soft furnishings, to smaller added touches such as glassware or art.
Statement Furniture
As a truly versatile shade, and thanks to its blue base, Very Peri is good at instilling a sense of tranquillity and comfort into a space. Great for a bedroom, study or living room, choose a piece of furniture that is smart and captures the attention of guests, focusing the eye on a single item - such as a headboard, sofa or desk chair.
A Bold Wall
With a shade like Very Peri, it is the perfect opportunity to be adventurous with the colour of your walls. We love the look of this entrance! Make an impact with guests as soon as they step in the door. We love the continuation of the colour in this home and the use of different purple shades, which transcends the hallway up to the first floor.
Time to Accessorise
Pantone describes Very Peri as encouraging ‘courageous creativity and imaginative expressions’ - so don’t be afraid to go bold as the possibilities are endless. Blue and red undertones allow for you to be dynamic with your choice of accessories and soft furnishings. Choose an array of similar shades for a calmer setting or be daring and go for something a bit different by pairing it with other bright colours for a true colour blocking look.
Team it with Pattern
Not only does Very Peri look perfect paired with neutral tones such as greys, whites and creams - for those daring to be a bit different - partner the colour with an eccentric wallpaper, which ties in Very Peri’s colourful undertones. Inject some fun into a downstairs bathroom or create a focus wall above a fireplace.
