A fresh and zesty shade of green, the colour experts at Pantone are calling Greenery “nature’s neutral”, encouraging us to “take a deep breath, oxygenate and reinvigorate”. Designed to take us back to nature, it provides the perfect counterpoint to modern urban life.

Leatrice Eiseman, the Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute explains what inspired this year’s choice:

“Greenery bursts forth in 2017 to provide us with the reassurance we yearn for amid a tumultuous social and political environment. Satisfying our growing desire to rejuvenate and revitalize, Greenery symbolizes the reconnection we seek with nature, one another, and a larger purpose.” – Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute.

 

Greenery Baby Shower Theme

Pantone Greenery themed baby showers & decor

This gorgeous shade makes the perfect baby shower colour scheme. Team it with blue and turquoise for a boy or with pretty pink for a girl. Or pair it with pristine white to keep it gender neutral – check out some of our best maternity dresses to match with your scheme. Fresh flowers add the perfect pop of colour for a greenery themed shower – you could even colour coordinate your catering with cute cucumber sandwiches!

 

Greenery in Nursery Décor

Here at Seraphine, we love the idea of incorporating Greenery into baby’s nursery décor or even older kids’ bedrooms. It’s fresh and bright, yet somehow soothing and is a fantastic unisex shade for little ones. Try introducing Greenery as an accent colour to jazz up a more neutral palate of whites, creams or greys. You could bring in a few statement green accessories, like a cool rug, lamp shades or chair. Or if you’re feeling brave, why not take the plunge and opt for a feature wall!

Rose Quartz & Serenity | Meet the Pantone Colours of the Year 2016

The fashion powers that be have spoken: The Pantone colour of the year 2016 has been announced and for the first time ever there’s two of them! This year Rose Quartz and Serenity are set to team up and take centre stage.

Used as stunning standalone shades or combined as a killer pastel pairing, these colours are designed to promote “mindfulness and well-being as an antidote to modern day stresses.”

Set to define design trends for the year to come, from stylish scatter cushions to lipsticks, winter coats and adorable baby clothes; here are a few of our favourite ways to work the shades of the year…

 

Rose Quartz & Serenity for Mummy

When it comes to styling the Pantone colours of the year for pregnancy, we have plenty of fashionable options to choose from. Dressing for this trend is all about layering up separate pieces in block colours of each shade. Try pairing our Blush Lace Maternity Cocktail Dress with our Powder Blue Natasha Cashmere Blend Coat. Or why not style our Chevron Print Maternity Dress with pink shoes, accessories and lipstick for a fresh spring look. You could even work the trend at bedtime by slipping on our Blue Polka Dot Nursing Nightie with your favourite fluffy pink slippers and dressing gown!

 

 

Rose Quartz & Serenity for Baby

 

Of course it’s not just you who’d look gorgeous in these pretty pastel shades…. Check out the Diana Award Collection – a beautiful new range of designer baby clothes available exclusively at Seraphine, in glorious pinks and blues and featuring the stunning Diana Pastel Tartan. Fall in love with pretty tartan baby dresses, soft cashmere cardigans and smart coats. And melt over adorable fleece-lined baby booties and charming tartan bonnets.

 

Rose Quartz & Serenity at Home

When combined in just the right way, Rose Quartz and Serenity harmonise in a room to create a space that’s calming and nostalgic with a surprisingly sleek and modern finish. They make a stunning choice for the nursery, and work wonderfully together in kitchens and bathrooms. When incorporating these shades into your home, Interior Designer Jared Sherman Epps suggests: Let one colour take the lead and allow the other to act as an accent to create a serene but striking balance.”

 

Rose Quartz & Serenity in Beauty

This daring colour duo is sure to be a big hit in the beauty world. Sephora have already released their Pantone Universe inspired range complete with lipsticks in both creamy rose quartz and unexpected serenity. Both shades make for beautiful nail polishes, rose quartz is the perfect blush for a fair complexion, and we predict that this trend could even herald the return of retro blue eyeshadow.
