A few key pieces to celebrate the announcement of the 2016 Pantone Colour(s) of the Year.

The Pantone 2016 Colour(s) of the Year were announced yesterday, so it’s time to trash all of your now-dated Marsala possessions (that’s how trends work, right?) and introduce these hot hues into your life, stat. We’ve cherry-picked a few key pieces, but as soon as 2016 hits, Rose Quartz and Serenity are going to be everywhere. Now’s the time to get in on the ground floor, you tastemaker, you.

This abstract painting from Zoe Pawlak brings in both of this year’s colours, Serenity and Rose Quartz, on one beautiful canvas. (Overlooker, 24″ x 30″, Oil on Canvas, $1,450) zoepawlak.com

It’s time to get into this colour trend, with a minimalist Braun watch in dusty pink ($152). vanspecial.com

This baby blue Boy glass water bottle from Bkr ($35) is the hottest way to hydrate. mybkr.com

The Folded vases from Menu ($120) are reminiscent of works of origami. menu.as

Each of the departments in the store were designed to create a “boutique-like shopping experience.”

The master suite was moved to the top floor of the duplex. The bench at the foot of the bed was recovered in cut velvet.

The Elton settee ($900) from West Elm is upholstered in velvet for an added layer of vintage cool. westelm.ca
