Pantone’s Color of the Year and How To Use It

Pantone is THE be all and end all when it comes to color. And, although I don’t necessarily agree with the decision to announce not one, but two “back seat” colors as their Color of the Year, I do love a challenge.

The reason I call Rose Quartz & Serenity, back seat colors, is when I think of a color of the year, I think of a color that screams “look at me, I’m bold, I’m beautiful!”

But to be fair, I’m ready to turn in my Marsala anything. Also, Rose Quartz & Serenity reflect a trend that has been seen all over runways as of late, and maybe it is time we take a design cue from our British counterparts who so love this power pairing. After all, design is supposed to be fun right?!

Love these colors or not, they are here to stay and you’ll be seeing them a lot in home decor, fashion and even in beauty.

Here are a few fun and easy ways to incorporate these two hues into your space:

I'm Lisa, a real born and bred Torontonian in every sense of the word. I'm a PR practitioner by day with a fabulous client list, at a very cool boutique firm in the core with a view of the city that can make anyone want to move here. I have a mild to moderate hat obsession, and you’ll usually find me searching the city for the next big chef, and rarely without a fashion or décor magazine in my purse. Before PR, I was a travel writer/editor/photographer, and spent most of my time travelling the world and bringing my stories back here. The rest of the time I spent indulging in the city's untapped culinary scene as Post City Magazine's main restaurant photographer. But, no matter where I am in the world, nothing beats coming home. That's why I've spent the last few years planting my roots here, moving from Toronto’s uber-chic west side to the heart of Greek Town in a modern Victorian semi (a.ka. my lifelong décor project), with my husband and super-stylish son. Yes, I'm one of those moms, the one who won't give up her sense of style post-baby bump; and why should I?! I aspire to have my cake and eat it too - I am Italian after all. And, now why my 2-year-old in tow, I can bring him along for the ride.
