SPRING COLOR: PANTONE'S PALETTES FOR THE HOME

Last year, I did a short postpairing Pantone's Fall 2009 Color Report with interiors reflecting various color combinations drawn from their predictions. Well, guess what? This series is back!

Using Pantone's Spring 2010 report, I've discovered some lovely little rooms to provide us with beautiful, seasonal inspiration in unique palettes...

I adore this feminine, Indienne inspired bedroom belonging to textile designer Lisa Fine with its unexpectedly soft palette - a departure from the saturated tones we usually see for this style.
springroom1
One word for this living room - fresh fresh fresh!
springroom6
One of Kelley Wearstler's more simplistic designs, this bedroom still packs some punch!
springroom3
Pistachio walls? It may not be for everyone, but the color certainly acts as an interesting neutral to the room. Pops of red and orange provide warmth and interest... there's even a touch of lilac!
springroom5
Proof that you don't have to interpret a suggested palette literally. Other than the dominant blue, the only hint of color here is the subtle glow of aqua, yellow and peach coming from the stained glass window.
springroom7
Traditional and quirky, there's something about this room that makes me smile. The bravery it must take to place urns on teensy shelves next to the bed, perhaps? Or maybe it's just the playful contrast of blue and shades of coral.

Strangely enough, I pulled this room for the same post last year... but it works even better for the spring palettes! Consider it an all-time favorite... I'm sure you'll see it again!
