Pantone chose two colors for the year 2021, a gorgeous dark gray, and a bright, cheery yellow! They describe it as a “marriage of colors about the human spirit”, and I love the combo. Although I don’t typically combine those exact shades, I love a great neutral gray and a pretty pop of yellow, especially in the springtime. I wanted to highlight some things you can do to bring these shades into your home (even if you don’t choose those exact Pantone hues). We are a distributor for Jolie Paint, so we can also help you choose the shade that best suits your home or style!

-Grey in bedding: This is a fun trend! Anthropologie always has the best bedding around, and they have some really gorgeous gray sets right now, especially this relaxed linen style. I love the oversized, draped-over-the-bed look, and who doesn’t love some extra comforter to cuddle up in when it’s cold? Use one size up than your bed size for extra length on both sides!

-Pop of mustard yellow: I love a tiny bit of yellow mixed with pretty neutrals, and in moderation, it can work as a super elegant pairing. This pillow from Target is inexpensive, and can be a fun way to “try” a new color in your home without committing to something more permanent like paint or furniture. We also love the idea of a mustard throw blanket, a candle, or a frame to introduce the hue into your decor in a subtle way. Look for mustard yellow with an undertone of grey or cream for something soft and usable.
-Gray door: This is a cute and not-as-trendy way to bring in some neutrals to your exterior paint. I have seen lots of pretty examples on Pinterest, but really any shade of gray looks pretty with white trim, and with almost any exterior shade. Accent a gray front or back door with black planters, modernized house numbers, and a fun doormat to keep it interesting!
