Are you ready to add a pop of colour to your life? Look no further than Viva Magenta, the stunning shade selected to be Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2023. This vibrant and playful shade is the perfect choice for those looking to add a touch of fun and creativity into their interior design and fashion choices. In this blog post, we’ll explore how you can incorporate Viva Magenta into your home and wardrobe to create a bold and exciting look. From statement walls to playful accessories, there's no limit to how you can embrace this colour and make it your own.

Let's start with interiors…

Viva Magenta is the perfect colour to add a pop of colour to any room. It is a colour that demands attention, so it's best used in a way that allows it shine. One idea is to use it as an accent colour, paired with neutral tones like white, black or grey. Another approach is to use it in unexpected ways....

If you're feeling adventurous, you can incorporate Magenta into your home and go all out by painting a room in the shade or perhaps an accent wall of panelling. This colour works well in a variety of spaces, such as a bedroom, a home office, child’s room or even a dining room. While it pairs well with neutrals like white, navy or grey, it will also look stunning when paired with other bright colours like green, yellow, turquoise or geometric and floral prints.

If you're not ready to commit to painting your walls in magenta, you can start small by painting a piece of furniture like a nightstand or dresser to add a pop of colour to your space.

You can also incorporate this colour into your home in many other ways such as a stunning statement piece of furniture like a velvet armchair or ottoman, an accent rug, throw or cushions. Alternatively, a vibrant piece of artwork or colourful accessories will add a touch of playfulness and personality to your space.
