As tempting as it may be to clean your kitchen in the colors of the year, you may want to take a break. This annual trend is just that: a trend that can come and go. Monica Gounaropoulos, founder of Spiti Interior Design, warned Tasting Table that jumping on trendy color trends too quickly can mean costly overhauls and unnecessary kitchen decor adjustments. When it comes to furniture in particular, opting for more timeless classics such as neutral colors or nature-inspired hues can help keep home design attractive to potential buyers and up-to-date in terms of eye-catching aesthetics.
If you have a favorite color you like but aren't sure whether or not to bring it into your home, experiment with non-committal choices like rugs, towels, or colorful vases. If you want to add a little more personality to the kitchen design, try painting color swatches on cabinets and walls before covering the surfaces with thick splashes of mint green or mustard yellow.

Pantone has been in business since 1963, while the Pantone Color Institute was founded in 1985. Pantone's Color of the Year was created in 1999 to spark conversations between artists, designers and the public. A global team researches culture, art, fashion and global travel destinations before deciding on the selected annual color. Pantone insists that there are no business intentions or personal preferences that affect which color is chosen and that the color decision-making process can take some time. Pantone also states that the goal of the Color of the Year initiative is not to highlight a specific color, but rather to recognize the power of color, how color selection can be used as a means of expression, how color can influence perception, and how color selection can influence communication.
It's important to remember that your home style choice should ultimately reflect your personal taste and your family's lifestyle. Just because a color has been deemed important doesn't mean you have to start painting it all over your walls and cabinets. If you're tempted to keep up with the world's latest color trends, consider the impact colors have on your emotional state and opt for smaller renovation projects instead. Finally, a new color of the year will soon be announced.
