OnBuy Electric Fireplaces Utilizes Pantone Connect to Create Most In-Demand Color Swatches for Homes

As the Covid-19 pandemic rages on, the new work-from-home schedule has no doubt prompted home improvement projects for homeowners seeking to make over their abodes into more of a modernized sanctuary. 

With an increase in screen time, eager homeowners are browsing social media platforms like Pinterest and Instagram for ideas and inspiration on how to decorate their rooms in-line with their own personal style. On Instagram, celebrities like TV presenter Stacey Solomon, reality TV’s Alex and Olivia Bowen from “Love Island,” and home influencer Sophie Hinchliffe are taking their millions of followers into their kitchens, nurseries, bathrooms, walk-in closets and even outdoor barbecue space to inspire ideas for cabinetry, countertops, carpeting, faucets and, most importantly–color–to incorporate into their own home redesign plans.

For browsers of these Instagram handles who see colors they think may look good in their own homes, OnBuy Electric Fireplaces has utilized Pantone Connect to discover 2022’s most in-demand home colors to provide the official swatch cards for each influencer’s home. Check out OnBuy Electric Fireplaces’ list of six influencers with the most coveted home color schemes below.

Elegant and Glamorous
With 6.9 million followers, designer Farah Merhi (@inspire_me_home_decor) and author of the book “Inspire Your Home: Easy Affordable Ideas to Make Every Room Glamorous,” knows a thing or two about domestic good taste. For those who favor the appeal of an elegant and glamorous home that doesn’t take away from coziness, Egret, Cinnamon Swirl, Chateau Rose and Bright Gold are the colors to use to emulate this style home. As a base color throughout this particular style home, OnBuy Electric suggests Wimborne White by Farrow & Ball. Named for the market town of Wimborne in Dorest County in England, the “just off white” color uses a smidge of yellow pigment to yield a versatile shade.

‘Pickle Cottage’
At the start of the pandemic, TV presenter Stacey Solomon (@staceysolomon) purchased what she describes as her forever home, her own “Pickle Cottage.” With the birth of her daughter, the home bears pops of subtle colors, which include muted baby blue in the bathroom and a nursery bathed in bright sea pink. Pantone’s swatches of Ice Water, Sea Pink, Desert Mist and Barley Blue will steer any expectant and new mother in the right direction to create the perfect little oasis for their prince or princess. OnBuy suggests Farrow & Ball’s Lulworth Blue named after Lulworth Cove. The color, according to Farrow & Ball, promotes a peaceful night’s sleep and is similar to Pantone’s Ice Water. To recreate Pantone’s Sea Pink, OnBuy recommends Nancy’s Blushes by Farrow & Ball.



Hinch Farm
Sophie Hinchliffe’s (mrshinchhome) sharing of her cleaning tips for an immaculate Essex home made her a household name. The color scheme of her pristine yet feminine home has been her signature tones of grey and white with mirrored surfaces. Natural foliage in her dining room adds pops of golden mist and green tones. For consumers wishing to recreate that gorgeous grey ambience, OnBuy recommends Blackened by Farrow & Ball. Originally made with the addition of lamp black pigment collected from the smoke of burning oil lamps, the color is the brand’s coolest white yet with the slightest hint of grey for a minimal look and modern finish. With the recent purchase of her sprawling countryside farmhouse, she seems to have started a new chapter with Pinterest boards detailing the designs of this new home she is calling Hinch Farm. White ditching her famous grey color, the new color scheme in her new home is what Pantone describes sandshell, winter twig, icicle and tofu. To recreate this design, OnBuy suggests Farrow & Ball’s Shaded White, Mouse’s Back, Cromarty and Slipper Satin for consumers to achieve their own farm.



Studio McGee
Stars of Netflix’s Dream Home Makeover, Syd and Shea McGee (studiomcgee) say the key of renovating a mind-blowing home is achieving that all-embracing sense of peace when the homeowners walk through the door. The couple go for a dark and light feel, combining deeper tones of charcoal grey with white suffused with gold hardware and nude accents. Farrow & Ball’s Elephant Breath, All White and Manor House Grey should help in achieving this stately look, suggests OnBuy. With an uplifting mid grey with a touch of magenta, Elephant’s Breath can seem nearly lilac in the cooler light of west-facing rooms while Manor House Grey is typically used alongside dramatic railings. The Pantone color scheme includes formal gray, blanc de blanc, rugby tan and fall leaf.



Intense Modernity
American designer Kelly Wearstler knows homes. The designer of high-end residential, commercial, retail and hospitality spaces has become an Instagram star (@kellywearstler) through her bold, distinctive interior style merging raw textures with deep colors to yield modernity with intensity. Pantones swatches for this home include flint, rugby tan, murex shell, and demitasse. Similar to Studio McGee, OnBuy suggests Elephant Breath along with Nancy’s Blushes (as seen in Solomon’s home), along with Brassica (a dark and sophisticated lavender) and Mahogany.



‘The Kitchen of Dreams’
Love Islanders Alex and Olivia Bowen know a thing or two about the creation of the perfect love nest. The pair, who are currently renovating their second property, have designed their “kitchen of dreams” using silver grey cupboards, white marble countertops and flooring in a hazelnut shade. To achieve your own, OnBuy recommends Blackened (as seen in Hinch Farm), along with Dimity, (a pale taupe), Salon Drab (a deep chocolate brown), and Lichen (a muted green) by Farrow & Ball. The Pantone swatch includes silver gray, hazelnut, pine bark and laurel oak.
