Pantone’s colour of the year 2023, VIVA MAGENTA
“This year’s Color of the Year is powerful and empowering. It is a new animated red that revels in pure joy, encouraging experimentation and self-expression without restraint, an electrifying, and a boundaryless shade that is manifesting as a stand-out statement. PANTONE 18-1750 Viva Magenta welcomes anyone and everyone with the same verve for life and rebellious spirit. It is a color that is audacious, full of wit and inclusive of all.”
A dash of colour
This year's Pantone colour is another winner and it might just be that added touch you need to lift your home this January. This year's colour of choice is 'Viva Magenta', a bright and playful shade that can play a brilliant role in elevating a scheme. You just need a small injection to lift a neutral scheme or to brighten up a dark corner. If you are not brave enough to go full "mauve" try a less permanent solution - a colourful lampshade, bright cushion or patterned rug can add that splash of colour without the fear of it being a permanent fixture. Books & accessories are another great option to add an "on trend" colour to your home. You could even try a colourful collection of flowers or a bowl full of pomegranates to add a splash of this year's favourite colour.
Bold artwork
Artwork can also be a powerful way to add colour into a space. Neutral colours are a great backdrop and easy to live with, but sometimes can end up feeling a bit sterile - artwork is there to save the day. A bright and colourful painting, photograph or sculpture will quickly bring your room to life, as well as allowing you the opportunity to show the braver side of your personality!
