How to Decorate with Pantone’s 2021 Color of the Year

Drumroll anyone? Pantone’s Colors of the Year for 2021 have finally been released—Ultimate Gray and Illuminating—and it’s safe to say we’re a little obsessed over here at Budget Blinds of Mill Creek, Woodinville, and Mukilteo. Pantone describes them as “practical and rock solid but at the same time warming and optimistic”. With the hope that these shades promise a sunny tomorrow, here are a few ways to decorate with these fun hues throughout your home.

Add accents throughout your living room.

Color trends come and go. If you like to keep up with the times, consider adding small accents of Illuminating throughout your home. A yellow vase or new dishware could add personality to a neutral kitchen. Similarly, a touch of yellow on a patterned Roman shade could add spice to your living area or guest room without the commitment. 

Refresh your throw pillow collection.

Throw pillows are another great way to refresh your space with the latest trends without blowing the budget. Adding yellow accent pillows on a white comforter or grey couch would bring a joyful accent to your living or bedroom.

Make a statement with your front door.

Want to really make a statement? Change the color of your front door to one of Pantone’s Colors of the Year. If you choose Ultimate Gray, try adding a wreath with a pop of Illuminating to give it a little pizazz. Or, if you’re really bold, go all out and paint your front door yellow—we only recommend this move if your home is already a neutral hue.

Spruce your outdoor space.

Outdoor patio pillows and rugs, especially if they’re cheap, usually only last a season or two—so you shouldn’t be scared to get a little wild with this space. If you’re looking to create a sunny and inviting patio, porch, or deck, add some yellow pillows and other bright accents.

Install new window coverings.

Neutral window coverings are always in style—and, this year, Ultimate Grey is the perfect shade. This warm tone extends a cozy invitation to decorate your bedrooms and living spaces. Plus, neutral window coverings create the perfect canvas to layer in accents of Illuminating throughout your rest space.
