Each year, the world of interior design eagerly awaits the election of Pantone’s Color of the Year, capable of interpreting contemporary taste and at the same time dictating trends for months to come.
So what should we expect from 2022? The answer is Very Peri!
Curious and intriguing, this new shade of blue with a purple-red undertone becomes an expression of a time of great change, with lifestyles in constant flux, between isolations, re-openings and new digital realities to explore.
An unusual colour, therefore brave, ready to stimulate creativity to see the world with different eyes, as explained by Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute.
As we move into a world of unprecedented change, PANTONE 17-3938’s Very Peri selection is an ambassador for a new perspective and vision of the beloved and cherished family of blues. Embracing the qualities of blues while possessing a purple-red undertone, Very Peri displays a lively and joyful attitude, a dynamic presence that encourages daring creativity and imaginative expressiveness

How to blend Very Peri with your home decor
This nuance, very similar to periwinkle blue, is certainly not among the easiest to insert into the rooms of your home, especially in contexts where the desire is to integrate an existing decor.
The ideal solution is to put it at the centre of the scene, combining it with neutral tones of white or black.
To get a more original effect, you’ll just have to choose whether to highlight its cold side or its warm side. In the first case it can be combined with a sage or terracotta and the result will be a romantic effect, a bit shabby chic. In the second case you can be bold using bright colours such as yellow and orange, obtaining an energetic and vital result.
One idea for not turning your entire decor upside down is to focus on light. If you have white walls and fixtures, you can use lamps with tones tending to purple to give the room a look perfectly in line with the colour of the year, without making other radical changes. We used this very light to illuminate the Ecofire Cecile Lux pellet stove by Palazzetti!
