Ultra Violet- The Color of the year In Your Home

Colors change as quick as the seasons and sometimes it is hard to keep up with the latest trends.  Now that most of winter is over you are probably finding yourself ready for the spring season!  The colors, flowers and need I say warmth are all on our minds.  This year’s color of the year has been released by Pantone and to some, it might be a shock.  Ultra Violet!  In recent years past, we have seen neutrals, muted colors and pastels, it has been a while since we have seen such a bold color.  There are many ways to bring ultra violet into and around your home in both subtle and daring ways.  These four ways make it easy to keep your home feeling updated and fresh!

The Violet Skeptic

Don’t want the color inside?  No worries!  You can introduce this color outside this Spring.  No, I’m not talking about painting your house or front door.  I’m talking flowers!  Flowers are an easy and inexpensive way to add shades and tints of violet that will pop in your garden!

I think I Like This Violet Thing

Let’s ease into this.  Maybe you’re not one to paint the walls of your home this bold color.  I don’t blame you!  Introduce it into your kitchen with fun Macaroons at your next get together or add a pop of color to your table with violet chairs.  You can even take it a step further and paint the inside of a piece of furniture, where you will be pleasantly surprised by the pop of color every time you open it.

Let’s Take It A Step Further

Now for those of you a little more daring, bring it into the living area and bedroom with pillows and throws.  Ottomans and couches in ultra violet will definitely make a statement in a room!  Add some natural violet crystals for sparkle and texture.

Let's Go All Out!

There are many ways to incorporate this bold color in your home if you are not afraid of doing so.  Painting the walls or ceiling, bold artwork, wallpaper and bedding are just a few ways to freshen up the home.

I'm sure at the beginning you were shocked by Ultra Violet.  Honestly, I was too!  Now that you can incorporate the color minimally or go all out, it makes it a little less scary and you can have fun with the color.
