Very Peri, how to decorate your home with the colour of the year

Very Peri is the colour of 2022 according to Pantone. It is an extraordinary shade of purple, a combination of periwinkle and purplish red. It is both fun and sophisticated, "showing a lively and joyful attitude, a dynamic presence that encourages daring creativity and imaginative expressiveness" (Leatrice Eisman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute).

But how to decorate your home with the colour of the year? How can we combine the Very Peri with our furniture, to liven it up and give it a touch of glam? Let's find out together.

The rules for furnishing your home with Very Peri

Let's start with the combinations: Very Peri goes very well with beige, white, pink and even green. But those who love colour and are not afraid to be daring can even match it with orange or yellow. The important thing is to pay attention to the lighting: Very Peri is very beautiful in natural light, while if the artificial light is warm, it tends to turn yellow.

There are two solutions for decorating your home with Very Peri: use it for accessories (even just an armchair), combining it with walls in light, cool colours, or use it to paint an entire wall, if your accessories are neutral.

If you don't want to or can't completely overhaul the furnishings in your home, you can use the colour of the year just to brighten up the room. After all, this shade of purple is so important that it can change the face of a room with just a few accents. From pop art to paintings, lamps, vases and candles, depending on your budget you can bring Very Peri into the living room, bedroom or wherever you like. However, the most "wow" effect is achieved by choosing an important piece. If the room you want to work on is the bedroom, and you were already planning to change your old bed or have its headboard upholstered, go for that. If, on the other hand, you want to focus on the living or dining room, choose Very Peri for the sofa, a generously shaped armchair or the chairs or stools surrounding the table.

You can opt for a single piece, or choose an important piece of furniture and combine small Very Peri accents with it: cushions, a bedspread, a rug, breakfast placemats. But don't underestimate its power, even if you are thinking of new wall coverings: Very Peri, chosen for the bathroom tiles, will amaze you!
