Jennifer Sheahan: How Pantone Colour of the Year influences home interiors trends

Pantone's Colour of the Year choice has a major impact on the global design world and our living spaces

Viva Magenta, the 2023 Pantone Colour of the Year, at Maison & Object this autumn.

Sometime in the next few weeks, Pantone is going to reveal its 2024 Colour of the Year.

As ever, this event will be met with much excitement and celebration. But what is Pantone and what does its colour of the year have to do with home interiors? I don’t know what the 2024 colour of the year is going to be yet (although I have some guesses if anybody cares to make this interesting), but whatever it is it will, as always, have a big impact on the world of design globally — interiors included.
