How to decorate your home with Pantone's Rose Quartz

By:

We don’t know about you, but we always look forward to Pantone’s Colour of the Year predictions. If nothing else, these predictions remind us of the role that colour plays in evoking emotion and mood. Last year was all about rich wine-red Marsala. For 2016 Pantone has lightened things up with Rose Quartz, and in a twist on the usual one-colour pick, it has added a second colour, Serenity.

Rose quartz is a warm play on rose-pink. “It’s a persuasive yet gentle tone that conveys compassion and a sense of composure,” says Pantone in its statement about the new hues. So why two colours: Rose Quartz along with Serenity, a cornflower blue? It’s because of the influence of, as Pantone calls it, “gender blur as it relates to fashion.” This more unilateral approach to colour is coinciding with societal movements toward gender equality and fluidity, it says.

So with that said, this peaceful shade and its calm fraternal twin, Serenity, both pair with mid-tones including greens and purples, rich browns, and all shades of yellow. Want to introduce this relaxing rose into your home? Here are 10 decor finds that evoke this soft hue.
