What color do you get when you mix red and blue? You get a most interesting hue called purple or violet. This year, this awesome color takes center stage as it becomes the Pantone Color of the Year. Ultra Violet takes the limelight with its luxurious, powerful, and magical beauty.
Purple in Color Psychology
As many people already know, colors have a way of affecting people’s psyche. As for purple, it is a color that’s known to calm the nerves. It is also known to trigger a person’s creativity as well as spur calmness over the mind.
Bright purple, in particular, is seen as the color of royalty and having a vast amount of riches. Dark purple, on the other hand, is the color of sadness and even frustration.
Compared to primary colors, purple is not used as often in decorating or designing homes. Yet when used, this color is no less than the symbol of quality and royalty. In fact, many businesses who want to be recognized as luxurious brands tend to consider purple as their company or logo color. Examples of these are the Hallmark logo, Cadbury, Yahoo, and the LA Lakers.

Purple Interiors
If you want a unique color to design with, then Pantone’s 2018 color choice should be your first option. This is a wonderful color to decorate with. Think of using lavender, lilac or other shades of this royal color. Don’t just stick with Ultra Violet even though this is touted as the color to paint your walls or to upholster your furnishings with this year.
There is so much to embrace in purple that is awesome. It is not a color that’s to be used on an accent wall alone. It can be as vast as the theme of a winter or spring wedding or it can be the accent to add visual interest in a mainly neutral home.
So, if purple is such an amazing color, why did it take this long for it to become the color of the year? Also, why are a lot of people afraid to decorate with it?
Purple can be a hue that is so powerful that it can easily overpower a space. You have to learn to handle this color with such confidence so that you won’t create chaos. Instead, you should be able to create a home with purple blended professionally and infused with care with all the other design elements.
Whether you love or hate this color, the truth remains that it is the star hue this year and you’ve got to learn how to decorate carefully with it. Of course, it would be unwise to paint an entire bedroom with glossy purple.
For anyone who is looking into using purple, you might want to begin with lighter shades first. The lighter the shades, the less overwhelming they can be. Begin with accents in purple. If you’re feeling more confident, then you can go ahead and paint an entire wall purple or have the couch upholstered in purple.
Your wall’s decorative elements will also play a huge role this year. These can also become more interesting if purple were to become the contrasting color. Contrasting hues of purple are gold or lime green, even yellow. You can also do the ombre effect by using lighter or darker shades of purple for your chairs and other furnishings. Wall décor, side lamps, frames, and artworks can also come in bold purple hues this year. Just make sure to blend them properly with the rest of your design elements.
There is no denying it – purple is trendy this year. When you are looking forward to having a spectacular and fashionable interior design this 2018, then this is your jaw-dropping, go-to color. In a nutshell, here are some suggestions where you can use purple –
