Pantone have finally announced that the long-anticipated Colour of the Year for 2022 is “Very Peri” - This is a shade that embraces unapologetic optimism, taking influences from both the digital world that has largely shaped our new normal as well as the natural world with its similarities to the soothing shades of lavender, lilac and, of course, periwinkle. If you’re a little hesitant to embrace this bold shade or unsure where to begin, don’t fret – with their wide variety of fabrics and finishes, Darlings of Chelsea will have the perfect complimentary sofa to help you bring Very Peri into your space in 2022.

Muted Hues

Pastels have always played a significant role in the world of interiors, and continue to be a popular trend as we approach 2022. Pastel colours are relaxing yet playful, making them the perfect colours for interior spaces. These soft, muted hues of blue, pink and green can offer the perfect complimentary colour palette to enhance the brilliance of Very Peri, with each paring working together to effortlessly uplift your space.

Natural Elements
 
Just as Very Peri finds some of its roots in the natural world, so do many of the complimentary colours suggested by Pantone. Shades of green represent nature, growth and renewal, so it's no wonder many of us have been craving more of it after countless lockdowns. Green may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of ways to incorporate the Colour of the Year, but it provides a surprisingly pleasing contrast with the vibrance of Very Peri whilst also working to ground your space.
Blank Canvas

To help this daring shade make a bold statement, opt for a colour palette that focuses on classic neutral colours. These stripped back shades ooze understated elegance, and hold a timeless quality that will serve you well as the seasons change. These sophisticated colours will allow any Very Peri additions to take centre stage without overwhelming the senses. 

Playful Shades
Don’t shy away from experimenting with unusual colour pairings – this shade is all about being daring and thinking outside of the box, so why not pair it with an equally playful hue when choosing your décor! Saturated shades are all the rage at the moment, with everyone craving a little more colour in their day-to-day, and are on track to continue making bold moves as we move into the new year. These shades will work well to amplify the carefree nature of Very Peri and will have guests in awe.
