Pantone describes these as “The union of an enduring
Ultimate Gray with the vibrant yellow Illuminating expresses
a message of positivity supported by fortitude.
Practical and rock solid but at the same time warming and optimistic,
this is a colour combination that gives us resilience and
hope. We need to feel encouraged and uplifted, this is essential
to the human spirit.”
These colours are reflected in a wide range of blinds and curtains
from the UK’s largest online made-to-measure window dressing
retailer, Blinds 2go, who have put together a range of styles
that beautifully express this upcoming trend. Both Pantone colours
are captured in the stunning Watercolour Stripe Ochre
Roman Blind from the Clarissa Hulse range, pairing a mustard
ochre tone with a sleek grey to fit this trend perfectly.
Also delivering both these stylish hues in one blind is the classic
William Morris Willow Bough Gold design from Blinds 2go,
in collaboration with the V&A. This superb mix of exquisite design
and vibrant intertwining leaves really brings this design to
life. Both styles are also available as roller blinds and curtains.
For a more modern take on this look there is the Nuevo
Dandelion design from the Scion collection (shown as Curtains
but also available as Roman and Roller Blinds). The bold, interlocking
shapes bring an air of cubism to this design as well
as offering a great interpretation of the hottest new Pantone
colours. As well as designs which capture both these stunning
colours in one, there are a wide range of blinds and curtains
expressing the individual colours. Here is a selection of
styles, each of which beautifully communicate Ultimate Gray or
Illuminating and offer a simple and affordable way to introduce
these Pantone colours into your home.
