How to Use Pantone’s Colors of the Year at Home in 8 Easy Ways

For 2021, Pantone picked two shades that stand alone yet complement each other in a single space. Ultimate Grey is a versatile neutral that is visually easy on the eyes, while Illuminating Yellow is a bold hue with a sunny disposition. Together, the two represent unity and create a space that’s both warm yet bright.

In styling a living area representative of this scheme, we created a focal point out of the grey sofa and layered both yellow and grey around it through the soft furnishings, furniture, artwork, and accessories. Here are our top 8 pieces that can help you achieve the same look at home!
