GIVE YOUR HOME A REFRESHING NEW LOOK WITH PANTONE'S 2017 COLOR OF THE YEAR: GREENERY

Each year, Pantone, the world's official color authority, chooses a 'Color of the Year' that is symbolic of the current year's mood and culture.  Conjuring up thoughts of fresh change, vibrancy, and lightheartedness, this year's color - Greenery - is a reminder for all of us to take a deep breath, relax, and rejuvenate.  ​

Fresh and fun, this lively shade of yellow-green makes a great accent hue for both interiors and exteriors alike.  There's nothing that says 'welcome home' more warmly than a brightly painted front door.  When combining this fresh green color with warm wood tones, it lends a natural, organic vibe to the space.  

White walls have been in vogue for a while now, but perhaps it's time to move on from the sterile white to something a bit more warm and energetic.  'Greenery' adds that bit of energy to a room that can otherwise lack pizazz, but it does so in a calm, and unobtrusive way.  After all, our brains are used to seeing green in the world around us.  Green symbolizes nature and can help to bring a subtle hint of the outdoors inside - even during the long winter months. ​

If the thought of painting an entire room or wall seems like too much, try adding it as an accent color.  A dresser, a side chair, pillows, curtains, or decorations are excellent choices.  Even a simple plant can make a world of a difference by transforming a bland room into something vibrant and energized!    ​​

​Similar hues such as Valspar's 'Mardi Gras Green' and Sherwin-Williams' 'Overt Green' are shown below as well.  If you'd like to give new life to your home with a fresh coat of paint, a new backsplash, or a home addition; contact the helpful staff at Michael's Homes today by calling 906-401-0575.
