Pantone’s Color of the Year: Very Peri Nursery Inspo

Get ready to see Pantone’s 2022 Color Of The Year — Very Peri – pop up everywhere. The “red violet infused blue hue” pairs perfectly with desert palettes, jewel tones, and pops of warm colors to serve as the perfect anchor for a room that will grow with your baby. We’ve posted inspiration below, along with a round-up of products, wallpapers, and fabrics to get you started.

Kelly Wearstler’s Beverly Hills guesthouse has long been a favorite of ours, proving that pink and purple isn’t just for little girls.

Another showstopper by Kelly Wearstler. When paired with blues, the Pantone shade creates a more masculine palette.

Designed by Martyn Lawrence Bullard for Ellen Pompeo’s oldest daughter, solid plum is used to anchor bold accents and patterned fabrics by Missoni. Very Peri could be used in the same way, with solid pops of color, surrounded by complementary prints.

Wallpaper and custom upholstery are our favorite ways to create a one-of-a-kind look. Install a dramatic accent wall behind your baby’s crib or choose a bold fabric for custom drapes and throw pillows. For a budget-friendly option, frame your favorite wallpaper or an oversized print from a digital artist and hang it behind your baby’s bed. We’ve gathered several prints for you to shop below.

Very Peri was created to inspire creativity as we transition from isolation to a new reality. If you too believe that color is a form of communication and self-expression, it’s hard to imagine a better theme to welcome a new little being.

“Encompassing the qualities of the blues, yet at the same time possessing a violet-red undertone, PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri displays a spritely, joyous attitude and dynamic presence that encourages courageous creativity and imaginative expression.” — Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute.
