Pantone’s Purple Interiors Are Hot in 2018
Ultra Violet is Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2018. A bold shade of purple that has industry professionals buzzing with the possibilities of this exciting colour.
A dramatically provocative and thoughtful purple shade, Ultra Violet communicates originality, ingenuity, and visionary thinking that points us toward the future. Artist and Designer, Erika Firm gives us a few ideas on how to incorporate this shade into your own spaces this season. For a monochromatic look, Erika suggest that we use different shades of purple within the same setting. So besides Ultra Violet, add Pantone’s Spring Crocus and Pink Lavender for a monochromatic vibe. If you’re not feeling an ‘all-over’ purple vibe, then bring in Ultra Violet in more subtle ways. Create an eclectic feel with a beautiful upholstered piece in this shade, such as an occasional chair as featured below. This will give you the freedom to explore with many different colours and materials in a boho chic style that will add vibrancy and colour to your living spaces. For a softer ambience, use Ultra Violet alongside Pantone’s Little Boy Blue in your space. The blue shade will complement and tone down the sheer energy of the purple tone, creating a softer, more restful space. Alternatively, go for the dramatic with bold walls painted in your favourite purple shades and bring Ultra Violet into your space in true dominance as a wall coating. Enigmatic purples have also long been symbolic of counterculture, unconventionality, and artistic brilliance.
