10 Ways to Use the 2022 Color of the Year at Home
Painting a room is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to completely transform a space.
This year’s shade of green would be beautiful in an entry, bedroom or bathroom because of the comfortable and casual feeling.
If you’d like to dip your toe in, try a single wall or hallway as an accent that peaks through a doorway when seen from a distant.
If you’re feeling daring and ultra modern, go ahead and paint both the walls and the ceiling. Create an all encompassing space for an ultimate sanctuary.

Coyuchi
Nothing says cozy rejuvenation like a set of new bedding in this year’s color of the year. Splurge on a linen duvet and finish it off with a set of Organic Cotton Sheets. Your body will thank you.
Both fabrics are incredibly soft and durable, and feel great next to your skin. You may never want to get out of bed!
Freshen up your bathroom with a set of new towels for an instant update. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to swap out synthetic fibers and go green. Literally. (Ok, we walked into that one!)
Look for towels made of organic cotton or bamboo, and give yourself and your guests the ultimate self-care spa experience.
Nothing says stability more than a well made piece of furniture finished in green.
Bring the look and feel of nature indoors with a pop of relaxing green.
This year’s color of the year could almost be another neutral, with the soft grey undertones.
Adding art to any room instantly brings the space alive and tells a story. It transports you and evokes a mood.
A piece of art with a lot of green has the potential of changing how you feel.
It could motivate you in an office and help you think better, changing your mentality for the day ahead.
Or it could soothe you in the bedroom, making you feel at peace and secure.
Tile Bar
This year’s color of the year is so beautiful in wall or floor tile, instantly transporting you to nature outside.
Play with different shapes and sizes to see what fits best in your room.
We love the contrasting earthy grout in this green mosaic tile. It feels like a bit of sandy soil is coming up through the light blue, green and yellow color variation tiles.
A Kitchen with light green grey cabinets feels so natural and organic – so fresh and so clean.
After years of all white kitchens and baths, it’s time for a little sprig of color, wouldn’t you say? Because this year’s green has a slight grey undertone, it feels modern and new at the same time.
If having all the cabinets painted green is a little too much of a stretch, try just the island. Or maybe just the bottom cabinets and leave the uppers white, or use floating shelves for an even more relaxed and laid back style.

Urban Outfitters
Replacing or adding a set of dishware is an easy way to update your dining table.
This year’s shade of green will easily take you from fall, through the holidays, into spring and summer.
Adding a small touch of a new color here and there is an easy and affordable way to freshen up a room without breaking the bank.
For example, a vase is a great way to bring form and function to any room, tabletop or bookshelf. It can hold fresh flowers or act alone as a piece of art.
Other small accessory items to add in would be pillows and a casual throw blanket, which instantly change the look and feel of a sofa, chair or bed.
Remember to Shop at Home: Look around in all your rooms and cabinets and see if you can find anything in this color. You might be surprised at what you find.
Walnut Wallpaper
Bring in a touch of sophistication and completely transform any room with wallpaper.
A Powder Room is a great place to make a big impression. So don’t be afraid to have fun and create a little drama in a small room that everyone will see.
Go Green and look for woven wallpapers made of grasscloth, linen, raffia or even wood veneer.
