The design team at Di scern has been inspired by Pantone’s color trend prediction for 2016. We love the sugary, fun and fresh colors that are Serenity, Rose Quartz, Buttercup and Green Flash. Not only do these colors make us happy and infuse our inspiration with freshness, they also remind us of desserts - think macaroons and parfaits, cupcakes and mint candies! These pastel tones are not only gender neutral but are also calming and welcoming shades to choose for your home. We were so excited by these sugary sweet shades that our decor team created a set of room renders inspired by these dessert colors, and picked a few of our favorites to turn into looks, based on the Pantone Color Trend 2016. Read on to see how we've put together these looks using trendy furniture, cool wallpapers, modern accessories and some delightful home accents.

Vivid, bright and drool-worthy, these colors make Modern Contemporary living come alive. Imagine living in a home done up in color palettes as exciting and delicious as these; choose the one that you love the most for your own home. BUTTERCUP YELLOW

Think rich, creamy custard and you've got your Buttercup Yellow. This delightfully decadent shade can look sophisticated, be it on your walls or on your furniture.Yellow wallpaper featuring a harlequin pattern adds a warm, sunshiny feeling to a room. A wool rug creates warmth and brings in a soft, plush feel. Like most colours, yellow works best when paired with complementary hues. Here, oak wood extends the summer vibe as does the elegant grey wall panelling. We've incorporated a pair of mirrors to help make the room look larger; it also makes for a great piece of wall art or a backdrop to the brightly accented sofa. The border of the mirror resembles Egyptian collar jewellery and is sure to engage onlookers. The clear table lamps on either end of the sofa are tapered with cotton shades in an off-white hue. The side tables have a delicate, filigree-like appearance - we admire this whimsical design with its strong structure. The replica of the Diamond lounge chair (the original was designed by Harry Bertoia for Knoll) adds sophistication to this bright room. Created out of industrial wire rods as the primary raw material, this chair is airy and sculptural in form.

GREEN FLASH

The look our design team created for this color is populated with the most trendy accent furniture. This room render has a lot of spunk with a refreshing pop of green; the overall look is well-balanced with the rest of the elements in the living space. It is a harmonized look, accessorised by various materials such as metal, glass and fabric. The overall design uses charcoal and grey as its base colors. The rug with its linear stripes in green and white complements the wallpaper and the oak wood flooring. The grey wall panelling enhances the bursts of color in the room's decor. The round mirror in the shape of a blooming flower looks stunning in a gold and black color combination. The green, amber, and black table lamp has a symmetrical, cotton shade in black. We love the grey padded ply easy chair.

ROSE QUARTZ

The Rose Quartz is a striking yet gentle hue that conveys compassion and a sense of composure. It reminds us of a serene sunset, a flushed cheek, or a budding flower. Rose Quartz helps us appreciate our surroundings during the lighthearted spring and summer months. Polka dots on the wallpaper add a hint of quirk; the playfulness of the print works wonderfully in a contemporary home, but can be beautifully contrasted with looks that are otherwise more traditional as well. If you use Rose Quartz judiciously in your interior space with a modern flair, the result can be very stylish and glamorous.
