Add Pantone Colour of the year 2021, Illuminating and Ultimate grey to your space
As the year 2020 draws to a close, Pantone has unveiled the colour it believes will reflect the year ahead.
For the year 2021, Pantone has selected two contrasting shades, “ultimate grey” and “illuminating”, which they described as “a marriage of colour conveying a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting.
After a difficult year thanks to a global pandemic, Illuminating yellow and Ultimate grey is a cheerful mix that reminds us to be resilient while always having it in mind that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
One way to take inspiration from the Pantone colour of the year, 2021 is by finding ways to incorporate them into your home. The ideal way to design your space with Pantone colour of the year 2021, will be to use ultimate grey” as the prominent colour on furniture such as on a sofa and other upholstered furniture, then use home accessories such as cushions and throws with “illuminating yellow” as accents to pop out the grey.

We’ve rounded up some key products to help you design your space with the Pantone colour of the year, 2021. Check them out below.

Home accessories

Illuminating, which is a bright yellow colour is perfect for home accessories. Using ultimate grey in large quantity for decoration can run the risk of looking a bit dull and flat so complimenting it with this zingy yellow is a great concept.
Cushions, rugs, vases, photo frames, wall arts, and lots more are the easiest ways to update the colour scheme of any room. So add those with the Pantone colour of the year to your space to make it pop.
