Every year, the fashion and interior design industries wait anxiously for one of the most significant announcements: Pantone's Colour of the Year. Pantone is defying convention this year by announcing that two colours will be jointly named the Colour of the Year. Presenting Rose Quartz and Serenity, a soft blend of warm pink and serene blue that is already having an impact on the design sector.
The two-tone announcement represents a shift in social discourse as well as fashion. Previously reserved for baby showers and nursery walls, these two hues will now be transformed and presented as striking, sophisticated statements. What does this mean for the interior design industry? More significantly, though, how do you apply the peaceful, uplifting energy of rose quartz and serenity to your daily environment?
Let's examine how these hues are transforming the field of design and how wallpaper can serve as the ideal medium for this change.
The Power of Pantone: More Than Just a Color
Pantone doesn't choose a Colour of the Year at random. It represents global cultural, social, and emotional developments. Pantone is expressing a desire for peace, harmony, and constructive reflection in reaction to the hectic and frequently stressful world we live in by allowing the physicality of Serenity and Rose Quartz. Through the use of rose quartz and serenity, Pantone is promoting mindfulness, connection, and the easing of more rigid barriers.
Their pairing represents not only a daring aesthetic decision, but also a celebration of unity and harmony. In a world of contrasts and division, Pantone provides a visual representation of calm coexistence. And what better way to live in that feeling than from the walls surrounding you?
Serenity: The Beauty of Blue
Serenity is a faint blue with a hint of lavender—it’s a color that feels like deep dive breath at the close of a busy day. Serenity conjures the serene tranquility of the clear blue skies or the gentle cadence of ocean waves. In interiors, Serenity brings peace, stability, and clarity.
Wallcoverings of Serenity can take bedrooms into restful retreats, bathrooms into spas and living rooms into corners of calm. Whether you like minimalist solid colors, watercolor washes or understated patterns on wallpaper, Serenity wallpaper will complement textural looks made of nature-based materials such as wood, linen, and marble.
Whether as a feature wall or a gentler backdrop, this cool tone provides emotion and nobility of presence with its understated elegance. Completing your mood is a sense of serenity, and property for reflection or relaxation, of which every modern home could benefit a little.
Rose Quartz: The Essence of Pink
Rose Quartz inspires where serenity calms. Warmth and tenderness radiate from this soft, pastel pink. It has a graceful yet strong strength, is romantic but grounded, and is gentle but not timid.
Rose Quartz is commonly linked to compassion and love, and brings a soft beauty to interiors. As wall covering, it adds barely-there warmth in bedrooms, dining rooms or office nooks. The right stripe, line, decorative layer, metallic accent, flower pattern, or geometric shape can transition this hue from precious nursery to chic modern.
Rose quartz adds just the right amount of personality without taking over a room when combined with neutrals like beige, taupe, or grey. It serves as a reminder that pink can be delicate, well-balanced, and incredibly expressive; it doesn't have to be loud to stand out.
Combining the Two: Harmony on Your Walls
What I find so exciting about 2025's Color of the Year selection is how the two can both work together. Serenity and Rose Quartz have created a visual flow that can be comfortable, fresh, and current using both colors. Rather than pulling away from one another, they propel energy towards each other to create a subtle balance, which supports emotional flow.
Wallpaper designers are fully embracing this trend, with everything from ombre gradients, abstract watercolor prints, prints with complicated patterns alternating between both colors, and endless other ways to design with this color combination. The ultimate way to design with these colors is to balance the proportions to be in line with your taste and space requirements.
Looking for a striking contrast? Select one color to use for the wallpaper and accent the other in furniture or decor. Want a more blended look? Choose wallpaper that uses both colors in equal amounts - very suitable as a feature wall in a bedroom, a striking hallway statement, or a fun option in a home office.
Beyond the Nursery: Sophisticated and Stylish
Even though pink and blue have been synonymous to children’s rooms for many years, Pantone’s selection only further confirms that these hues are somehow, for adults, boundless. Serenity and Rose Quartz are set to begin to move towards a more grownup space. They perform exceptionally well in modern, bohemian, Scandinavian and vintage-inspired designs.
Wallpaper is as impactful and inexpensive way to change the character of the room using these colors. It adds versatility, texture, and personality & establishes the mood of a space. Whether you want your space to be calming and serene, or bright and inviting, this combination give you permission you play, try and freely express your personal aesthetic.
