For the first time ever, Pantone’s Color of the Year is a blend of two shades – Rose Quartz and Serenity. Rose Quartz is a soft, delicate pink, while Serenity is an airy shade of sky blue.

While the colors pair perfectly together, you may be having a difficult time deciding where to use the 2016 Color of the Year into your home. There are an endless amount of possibilities when it comes to incorporating these two stunning shades into your home – find out how!

• While Rose Quartz and Serenity may seem to fall on the more feminine side of the color spectrum, you can absolutely include these colors in a gender-neutral bedroom. Try including a few accent pillows, or maybe even a rug, in these shades. If you are not afraid to use it more boldly, opt for a bed set in a combination of these colors.
• Something as simple as a Rose Quartz bath towel set or a Serenity shower curtain can do wonders in brightening up your powder room. Perhaps even add some décor such as artificial Rose Quartz flowers, or Serenity curtains around a window in a powder room.
• For an easy splash of color, try hanging some Rose Quartz or Serenity dish towels. These hues could also work as napkins paired with silverware. If you are looking to make more of a statement, try adding an accent border or purchasing some dish sets in either color.
• Living Room. There are many accessory options for the living room no matter if you just want to add a small dash of color or a large accent piece. Rose Quartz or Serenity are excellent colors to play with in a living space according to the experts at CertaPro Painters of South Charlotte. An accent chair would be a nice splash of color, also.
• Dining Room. The 2016 Colors of the Year are optimal for a dining room space. Choose one of the shades for the walls of your dining room and accent the space with the other color. The balance between the two tones helps to reflect the connection and wellness that a dining room is meant to create.
