Try a few of these tips to bring this new hue into your Bay Meadows residence:

Start small and introduce the color. Pillows, vases, area rugs, throw blankets, wall art and other decorations offer a simple and effective way to try out Pantone’s color of the year.

Since we all spend a lot of time in the kitchen (the heart of the home), this is a great place to incorporate accents that pop like glassware, towels and wall clocks.

Select textiles in the periwinkle tone and pair them with taupe tones to add another layer of calm and comfort to bedrooms.

Bring the outdoors-in, style a room with Veri Peri hues found in nature by gathering freshly cut blooms into a vase. English Lavender, Salvia, Catmint and more are great plants that can bring the pop into your place.

“For the flower world, whilst not the easiest colour to match, it could be a way to move away from the hard, harsh ‘Cadbury blue’ … tricky at the best of times … and embrace the gentler periwinkles, soft blues and muted lavenders of Scabious, Lavender, Clematis Tweedia, Delphinium, Agapanthus and Allium et al that work well with the softer blowsy, country look that is so popular,” says Florist Trade Club whom also shares a palettes for pairing with Peri.

PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri places the future ahead in a new light.  The color is the “happiest and warmest of all the blue hues,” blending the “faithfulness and constancy of blue with the energy and excitement of red” to deliver an “empowering mix of newness” with a “carefree confidence and a daring curiosity that animates our creative spirit.”
