1. Go Light on Walls

With its light yet moody vibe, periwinkle is a subtle color that can work well in all kinds of settings. Best for bedrooms and dining rooms, it makes these spaces feel more elegant and larger than they are. To make Pantone’s Very Peri pop, try incorporating it into a pattern or using it for an accent wall.

2. Accentuate Details
