Pantone Color of the Year 2017 - Greenery

It's that time of the year again --

Time to reveal the COLOR of the year from PANTONE:

Each year, this color sets the stage for design all over the map. What will pop up this year with a new idea, spunk or creative thought?

This year is GREENERY by Pantone.

Needless to say, Pantone is setting the stage bold this year. No blush (last year) for this coming year. They want us as designers to speak out, not be afraid of color and be ready for the unexpected.

"Greenery, seems to be an instant hit for those looking for a revitalizing, back-to-nature hue that brings zest while still managing to work with warm wood tones."

The above quote, couldn't be more true. How fun is the "zest" for this color? From paint (check out those kitchen cabinets), to backsplash (see below!) .... this color can be used wide and high,

We are looking forward to places and spaces that NEED this new life. Are you feeling green today??

Happy St Patty's Day!

HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY!

Hope you are all wearing your green today ;)

In the design world nowadays, we hear a lot about "green design" and sustainable design. BUT this doesn't actually have anything to do with the color green ;)

So TODAY, on St Patricks Day, we are highlighting a few of our favorite "Green Design" projects ... that aren't necessarily the true meaning of "green design"

First, this gorgeous guest room at the W Hotel. Ahh.

Green velvet polished nickel bed bench makes the room perfection.
