Embrace Pantone’s 2022 Color of the Year with These Lifestyle Items

At the end of every year, we’re inundated with a plethora of best-of lists and trend predictions for the upcoming year. One of the most anticipated of the latter is Pantone’s color of the year, and it’s been announced.

Every year, Pantone’s chosen color finds its way into nearly every lifestyle category. For 2022, the company chose Very Peri, a blue-tinged shade of periwinkle. It’s extra special, too, because it’s the first color Pantone created rather than dipping back into its archives.

If you’re looking to hop on the incoming color-trend bandwagon, we’ve rounded up some of the hottest lifestyle items you can get right now in the already in-demand color.

Cookware

Bring some color into your kitchen with this cookware from GreenLife. The collection comes in a gorgeous periwinkle shade and features everything you need to color coordinate your cooking basics.

You’ll get a four-, seven-, and nine-and-a-half-inch frying pan, one- and two-quart saucepans with lids, a five-quart stockpot, a 2.5-quart sauté pan with a lid, a seven-inch stainless-steel steamer, and four color-coordinated kitchen utensils.

Air Purifier

If you or anyone else in your home has allergies or asthma, or if you just want to keep the air fresh, an air purifier is the way to go. The Bissell MyAir proves that an appliance doesn’t have to be unsightly, thanks to its soft periwinkle hue.

The MyAir features an activated carbon and pre-filter that captures 99.7% of 0.3-micron particles or larger (so things like dust, pollen, and dander). With a three-in-one filtration technology, you’ll only need to replace a single filter at a time.

Plus, the purifier covers 88 square feet of space in a compact form you can discreetly sit next to a pet bed or desk. You’ll forget its even there thanks to its near-silent filtering.

Sheets

While Very Peri was chosen for its uplifting vibes, it’s also quite soothing. Why not incorporate it into your bedding? This sheet set from LuxClub features a fitted and top sheet, and four pillowcases all made from a viscose bamboo fabric that’s moisture-wicking to keep you cool at night

They’re also wrinkle- and fade-resistant, machine-washable, and come in sizes from twin to California King. Plus, if you really love them, you’ve got a whopping 39 other color choices!

Journal

Journal lovers and writers should definitely invest in a periwinkle-toned notebook for the upcoming year. You could even make it a tradition to match your annual journal or planner to Pantone’s color of the year.

This option from Moleskin (the gold standard in notebooks) might skew slightly more on the blue side, but it’s still stunning. With its ribbon place holder, elastic closure, and thick, ivory paper, it’s perfect for recording anything from your daily thoughts to your to-do lists.

Foreo Luna 3 Facial Cleansing Brush

If you’ve been thinking of switching up your skin care routine, adding a cleansing brush is a great option. The Foreo Luna 3 is a popular skin care tool that also comes in periwinkle. Its silicone bristles won’t harbor bacteria as they remove dirt and oil-based impurities from the skin.

Its gentle circular motions also act as a mild exfoliator. Plus, it can double as a facial massage tool and is easy to clean.

Throw Blanket

A throw blanket is a simple way to add a pop of Pantone’s Very Peri to your décor. Whether you toss it over a chair, add it to the end of your bed, or drape it over the back of your couch, there’s a little touch of trend however you use it.

This light purple blanket comes in multiple sizes, including one that’ll fit a king-size bed. It’s made of ultra-soft fleece to ensure you’ll stay ultra-cozy on chilly nights.

Sonic Toothbrush

Need a new toothbrush or just want to improve your oral hygiene? Say hello to Burst Oral Care’s Sonic toothbrush in lavender. The brush features sonic technology that has 33,000 vibrations per minute.

It can also remove 10 times more plaque than a regular brush, while helping reduce gum bleeding. Not bad, right? Plus, hello, it’ll look so pretty on your vanity.

Wine Glasses

We’ve featured Estelle Colored Glass before, so, of course, we had to bring back the bright-hued glasses after Pantone announced its color of the year. These handcrafted wine glasses come in a stunning pastel periwinkle that’s perfect for sipping your favorite wine in the evening or a delicious mocktail at lunch.

You can get a full set of six or opt for the smaller set of two. There are also stemless options, champagne coupes, decanters, and martini glasses in the same color.

Eyeshadow

Give your beauty routine a Pantone pop with this lilac-themed palette from ColourPop. The nine-pan palette features a mix of pink and purple shades in matte and metallic shades.

Add a wash of purple over your lid for a subtle look, or go all out with a bold eggplant-hued smoky look. The best part of the palette, though, is its price tag.

Sneakers

Get official Pantone merch via its collaboration with Cariuma. The color experts teamed up with the shoe brand to craft three iterations of Very Peri sneakers. This option features a bright periwinkle canvas (of course), and a low-top design with a chunky sole and green detailing inside.

The other options are a white shoe with periwinkle detailing and a chunkier version with white, geometric detailing on the sides.
