17 Ways to Incorporate Pantone’s Discretion Palette into Your Home

If you’re slightly obsessed with the trendiness of pastels right now, you’re about to fall hard for Pantone’s 2018 Discretion Palette. Low-key and subtle, this spread of colors is dominated by soft hues of Elderberry, Burnished Lilac, and Hawthorne Rose. As the hue gurus at Pantone stated, “Pink has developed more power than ever before.” With the Discretion Palette in play, we’re guessing it’ll stay that way for a while. Take a scroll through these 17 rooms to see how the newest spectrum can be applied to your home in chic, livable ways.

1. Mauve Bliss: With the right furniture, the pink and purple palette will take on a surprisingly modern edge. We’re talkin’ dusty purple and warm neutral pieces that will quietly energize a space without overwhelming the dark walls. (via Architectural Digest)
