Serenity

Serenity

Asa cum probabil ati aflat deja, internetul a  vuit cand Pantone a anuntat ca 2016 va avea 2 culori oficiale: Rose Quartz si Serenity. Am ales sa va povestesc pe rand despre cum le vad eu  si de ce cred ca au fost probabil cele mai frumoase culori pe care le puteau alege. Postarea aceasta este despre serenity, preferatul meu!

 
EN: As you probably already know, the internet went crazy when Pantone announced that 2016 will have 2 official colors: Rose Quartz and Serenity. I chose to tell you how I see each of them and why I think they are probably the most beautiful colors that could be chosen. This blog post is about Serenity, my favorite!

Serenity, tonul mai rece dintre cele doua culori, reprezinta calmul si determinarea. Cei care vor sa isi decoreze casa folosind aceasta culoare in general sunt indemnati sa o foloseasca mai ales in dormitor – are un efect calmant (desi eu am folosit-o daca mai tineti minte in vechea mea bucatarie anii ’50).

Serenity-ul celor de la Pantone este mai degraba acel baby blue cu care ne-am intalnit in camera baieteilor, insa tonalitatea e usor mai gri, ceva mai rece si asadar mai matura. Eu deja ma declar fan inrait si cred ca pe langa faptul ca poate fi usor integrat in tinute, este o culoarea superba pentru decor interior. Nu neaparat ca factor predominant ci mai degraba ca un accent– un fotoliu, o lenjerie de pat sau un abajur la una dintre lampile din dormitor. Iar daca aveti copii mici, care inca nu au vreo parere despre cum ar dori sa arate propria camera, cred ca poate deveni laitmotivul acestei incaperi- fie ca vorbim de baietei sau fetite, Serenity va avea acelasi efect special.

Daca e un pas cam mare sa va schimbati decorul din casa, atunci poate fi oricand folosit ca accent pentru o cina alaturi de familie sau prieteni. Este o culoare delicata si ideala pentru a decora masa de paste de exemplu, iar daca vreti sa mergeti un pas mai departe, puteti sa vopsiti si ouale in cele doua culori vedeta. Am gasit chiar si un diy, singura adaptare este o culoare ceva mai deschisa, desigur!

Ce facem cu Serenity in zona de beauty? E bine daca esti inzestrata cu ochi albastri sau verzi deschis (norocoaso!), poti sa te aventurezi sa il folosesti ca fard de pleoape, insa restul il vom folosi mai ales ca oja! Eventual pe aceeasi pe care o folosim si la diy-ul de mai sus, nu?

Iar adevarata distractie incepe cand discutam de haine! Pentru a avea doar un mic accent, poti incerca sa porti un simplu colier, cu un efect dramatic. Inca mai e timp pentru un guler de blana sau o haina groasa cu adevarat spectaculoasa, care in mod sigur o sa fie un statement puternic!

Oricare ar fi felul in care alegi sa integrezi aceasta culoare in viata ta, posibilitatile sunt aproape nelmitate, asa ca exista mii de idei! Alege-le pe cele care ti se potrivesc si poarta-le cu multa serenitate!

Serenity, the colder of the two color tones, represents calm and determination. Those who wish to decorate they house using this color, are usually advised to use it especially in the bedroom – it has a calming effect (although, if you remember, I used it in my former fifties inspired kitchen).

The Pantone Serenity is basically the baby blue we find in nurseries, but the tone is slightly greyish, colder and therefor more mature. I am already a big fan and I think that besides the fact that it can be easily integrated in outfits, it is a beautiful color for interior design. Not necessarily as the main attraction, but more like a touch – an armchair, bed linen or a bedroom lamp. If you have kids who don’t have an idea yet about the design of their room, I think that it can become the main idea. No matter if it’s for a boy or a girl, Serenity will have the same special effect.

If changing your home décor is a bit too much, than it can be used anytime as a touch for a dinner with family and friends. It is a delicate color, ideal for the decorating the table for Easter, and if you want to take on step further, you can paint the Easter eggs in the two star colors. I even found a diy, the only adaption being a lighter color, of course!

What about Serenity in the beauty area? It’s great if you are endowed with light blue or green eyes (lucky you!), you can use it as eye make-up, but the rest of us will use it especially as nail polish! Maybe even the same one we use for the diy mentioned above, right?

But the real fun starts when talking about clothes! For just a slight touch, you can wear a simple necklace, with a dramatic effect. There is still time for a fur collar or a really spectacular coat, which will definitely make a strong statement!

However you may choose to integrate this color into your life, the possibilities are almost endless, so there are thousands of ideas! Choose the ones who suit you best and wear them with lots of serenity!
