For the last few years there has been a steady move to bringing in brighter and more colorful choices to your interiors. Pantone has always been on the forefront on predicting trends in colors in the fashion, design, and home interiors industries and everyone looks to Pantone for bright shots of inspiration for the upcoming year. From turquoise to honeysuckle, this year Tangerine Tango is the ‘it’ color for inspiration. Here are a few simple ways to incorporate it into your home this year.

Bold and bright: Just like a burst of tangerine juice in your mouth, Tangerine Tango is a powerful and uplifting color that is sure to make your interiors sing. Whether you use it on an accent wall to highlight an interesting corner of your room, or you use it throughout your wallpaper, window treatments and furniture. The burst of this refreshing color is bound to spark your imagination. If you are not up to this dramatic color throughout your space, consider using it in less saturation or in lesser quantities.

Subtle sophistication: Interior designer Deborah Wecselman gives this advice: “Subtle themes: If you require subtlety with bright accessories, tie in the color with accent pieces – chairs, abstract décor and toss pillows. The below spaces shows how complimentary the shade is and how it goes well with blue and browns.”

The beauty of color is the ability to keep it saturated, or to make it the accent of a color palette. While Tangerine Tango looks great by itself, pairing it with complementing colors may fit your home better. Deborah also suggests, “Mix the shade with patterns and basic white to break up the space, add modernity to your personal space and blend with other bright hues such as avocado, saffron or fuchsia.
