8 Easy Updates for Yellow and Gray Home Décor

“Pantone has announced Ultimate Gray and Illuminating as their Colors of the Year for 2021!"

Looking back at the year behind us, and forward to the one ahead, the Pantone Colors of the Year for 2021 make perfect sense. Ultimate Gray acts as an anchoring neutral, bringing a feeling of resilience and steadiness to a space. Illuminating (Yellow) combines that anchor with positivity and strength.

Incorporating these colors and the ideals behind them into your space doesn't have to be difficult or expensive with these 8 easy updates:

1. We've all spent more time at home the past year, and many people are working from home offices. Small updates to accent pieces in this space can help you to feel more motivated and productive.

2. Throw Pillows are an easy way to bring color into a room. You can find these at discount stores at a great price. Changing out throw pillows is one of the easiest ways to change the mood of a room.

3. Updating your bathroom is a breeze when you start with neutral colors and update with fresh towels or a colorful shower curtain.

4. Another space where switching out linens is a quick, easy update is in the bedroom, where bedding becomes a style statement all on its own.

5. A rug may be considered an accessory, but it can become a focal point of any room with a beautiful pattern. A rug should be the anchor of the room and should set the color scheme.

6. Beautifully designed pieces like this Slate 2-in-1 Classic Fragrance Warmer add the finishing touches for your new color scheme. This warmer features a simple geometric pattern in sophisticated slate gray.

7. For the living room, curtains can be one of the easiest updates available and take just minutes to switch out. It's maximum impact with minimal effort.

8. An accent wall is a great way to have a little fun with color in your home. Paint one wall in your room and you've added depth and interest to a traditional space.
