What does it mean to go green in 2017? Well, while some of you might think we’re talking about expanding your environmental efforts, we’re actually referring to a Pantone colour. The authority on colour announced late last year that Greenery 15-0343 was their selection for 2017 Colour of the Year. They added that the yellow-green shade was a “symbolic color selection; a color snapshot of what we see taking place in our global culture that serves as an expression of a mood and an attitude.” With Pantone’s strong influence permeating into all areas of design, culture and lifestyle (food, fashion, technology, etc.), expect to see a whole lot of yellowy-green goodness in the next 12+ months.
To help you join in on Pantone’s zesty Greenery year-long party, we’ve put together a list of fun, yellowy-green goods that you can wear, play with, drink…and most importantly, design and decorate with. Get ready to Go Green(ery)!!
Vivaciously Bold
When Diana Vreeland launched her scent VIVACIOUSLY BOLD in a vivaciously bold green bottle, it created quite a buzz. This is one bottle of eau de parfum you’ll want to leave out “accidentally” on the guest bathroom vanity….oops!! Get yours here.
Technology
Ready to up your Instagram game? Then droning may be the thing for you. They capture stunning aerial images and breathtakingly beautiful videos. You can easily spend up to $3000+ for an advanced model or you can spend around $300 for a hobby level drone like this one by Protocol. Please note that there are some restrictions and regulations to flying drones. Before you fly, we encourage you to check out the do’s and don’ts according to your state or provincial transport authority.
Kale Daiquiri
Put down those potato chips and grab a handful of Kale! This guilt-free Kale Daiquiri not only taste good, it’s also good for you! Perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or any day, you’ll agree that getting healthy never tasted so good! Enjoy it with a handful of potato chips…oh wait, we mean kale chips (wink-wink).
Nursery
We love this storage tote from The land of Nod in the perfect shade of Greenery and available in two sizes, it will look perfect in a nursery along with this lovely Under the Sea Wall Art- Turtle (also from The land of Nod).
Art
There may be 50 shades of grey but we’d like to think there are 60 shades of greenery. This giclée print by Laura van Horne gives us all the evidence we need. It comes with a charcoal grey finished frame and hangs both vertically or horizontally. Available here.
The Lana Lamp
This incredibly cute Lana table lamp from Spencer Interiors is bound to light up any room. It comes with a unique magnetic felt shade that can be attached anywhere along the lamp’s metal base. The shade comes in five different colour ways but we suggest you go with moss.
Palet Storage Jar
If you’re going to steal a cookie from the cookie jar, then why not do it from one that looks smashingly gorgeous!?! This beautiful mouth-blown Palet Storage Jar (available at Provide Home) will look great on a vanity, in a bookshelf, or on your kitchen counter. Capable of storing anything from cotton balls to cookies, this jar of green is meant to be seen!
The Oliver Chair
If you’re in the market for a lounge chair, may we suggest the Oliver Chair by Ralph Pucci? You are bound to receive compliments from this chair that’s dressed to impress!!
So there you have it, some simple, fun and bold ways to go Green(ery) this year. Follow our simple guide and you’ll be the talk of the town while your friends will all be green with envy!
