How about 1NT?
This shows a balanced hand with 15 to 17 HCP.
You can open the bidding 1♦ and hope Partner bids 1 of a major (you have support for both) but it is hard to show 15 HCP with a balanced hand once you don't open 1NT. In fact it is impossible to show 15 HCP with a balanced hand. If you had that hand you would have opened the bidding 1NT.
