[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]Described as a fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the firstdays of spring, Greenery – Pantone Colour of the Year 2017 –symbolises the reconnection we seek with nature. This fresh hue seeks to“revive, restore and renew,” and is “illustrative of flourishing foliage andthe lushness of the great outdoors.” It signals to consumers to, “take adeep breath, oxygenate and reinvigorate.”

“Greenery bursts forth in 2017 to provide us with thereassurance we yearn for amid a tumultuous social andpolitical environment. Satisfying our growing desire torejuvenate and revitalise, Greenery symbolises thereconnection we seek with nature, one another and a largerpurpose.” Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the PantoneColour Institute.

Greenery is very different from last year’s two pretty pastel colours –Serenity and Rose Quartz. It’s a refreshing and revitalising shade that’ssymbolic of new beginnings, and has already been spotted on the spring2017 catwalks. As the New Year gets underway, it will only be a matterof time before interior designers start picking up on this bright shade ofgreen.[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]The refreshing shade of Greenery is perfect for the bathroom, and you canbe as bold or as subtle as you like with it. There are a variety of ways inwhich you can introduce this colour, for example, with tiles, wallpaper,paint, towels, artwork, plants and accessories. For added wow factordon’t be scared to combine Greenery with an equally bold colour, but pairwith other light neutrals such as white.

Green walls, floor and ceiling is not something that most of us wouldconsider, and even those that love this hue, will agree that it will be a bitmuch. So, for more effective use of green, go for an accent wall, whichshould be the one that gets the most natural light. It’s best to keep thewindow frames white, rather than paint them the accent colour. If yourbathroom has no natural light, then fit a large mirror to achieve a similareffect.

Green usually has to coordinate with another colour in your bathroom.The easiest combination to pull off is green and white, which creates afresh, modern look. If your bathroom is mostly white, a few green tilesused as a splash back area can be enough. You could also use green tilesin the shower or above the bath.

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]One of the easiest ways to use Greenery in the bathroom is with foliage.With low light and high humidity, the bathroom provides the perfecthome for many houseplants, but it’s essential to choose the right plant tosuit this environment, as some could barely last the duration of a showerwithout wilting. According to the joyofplants.co.uk , ferns are a happyinhabitant of any bathroom, and their ability to purity the air make themthe perfect companion for a relaxing soak in the bath.

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]Sticking with the nature theme, the stem pattern towels by interiordesigner Orla Kiely feature a vibrant green shade for a shot of colour. Oryou could try the Egyptian cotton towels in Apple Green by John Lewis.Green towels provide a quick and simple way to introduce PantoneColour of the Year 2017 into your bathroom. Don’t forget about thewindow dressing too. A vibrant green blind, such as the ValenciaSimplicity lime roller blind from blinds2go.co.uk will really help bringthe look together. We also love the Green Woods shower curtain and Feuille bath mat for bringing a touch of nature indoors.
