It’s February. We’ve officially made it through 2020 & 2021 is already feeling a little more optimistic!

So let’s keep looking ahead, and see what color trends we can expect to see this Spring/Summer. The following colors were forecasted by Pantone in a NYFW Color Trend Report for Spring/Summer 2021. It features top 10 standout colors, as well as current takes on the 5 core classics we can expect to see in New York. Sure, these colors were presented for Fashion Week, but! in my opinion, fashion informs interiors and vice-versa.



And since we’re spending way more time at home, I’ve curated a group of stylish furniture & decor to help you bring Pantone’s NYFW Spring/Summer 2021 Colors to your home 🛋️. Items marked with ** are Black owned brands 😃✊.
