With ‘greenery’ looking at taking stock and drawing inspiration from the world around us, the attached comment looks at how you can carry the latest Pantone of the year ‘Greenery’ through to your windows to really finish of the look.

Swish has two lovely finials which, although not greenery themselves, draw on the essence of this trend to add the finishing touch to a scheme perfectly.

The first of the two finials is Entwine, which has a striking leaf and vine design and the second is Blossomtime, which has a more stylised tulip design. The Chrome works brilliantly with the muted shades of this colourway but as Pantone also suggest an almost pop art palette of yellow, orange, black and magenta within this, the graphite version fits the scheme equally well.

They are both from the Design Studio mix and match range which allows you to choose the pole, collar and finials separately to suit your style. Prices start from £34.99 for the poles and £15.99 each for finials.

Q: I love the new ‘Greenery’ Pantone® of the Year and I’m keen to use this shade on the walls in my living room. What window dressing styles will complement this best?

Lucy Shore, Creative Designer at window dressing expert, Swish, comments:

“The use of this fresh, zingy green within your home aims to reinvigorate, help you take stock in a busy world and find inspiration from the nature which surrounds us. Hence, windows become an important part of this colourway as they provide that immediate link, helping to bring the outside into our homes.

“Whilst you may initially think of teaming with brown and green hues, this colour actually offers a great deal of flexibility to work it in a way that suits your taste.

“Try it combined with rich blues, wine and mustard shades for an opulent feel through to more muted raspberry pinks, greens and plums for a softer finish. Swish’s Entwine finial boasts a striking leaf and vine design that will set off ‘Greenery’ schemes perfectly. Try the Chrome and Satin Chrome options.

“For the more daring amongst us, bold shades of black, yellow, orange and magenta work equally well when set against this vibrant green shade to create a strong finish. Team with Swish’s Design Studio ‘Blossom’ finial in graphite, as the stylised tulip shape will really help this look make a statement.”

The Design Studio range gives the opportunity to mix and match poles, finials, collars and curtain rings to create your desired look. Prices start from £35 for a standard Design Studio pole kit and £15 for a pair of finials.
