6 Ways to Use Pantones Color of the Year for 2018 without looking like the house of Barney the Dinosaur
Ahhh, color. It’s a beautiful thing, especially Pantones color of the year for 2018, Ultra Violet. You either love it or not love it. And to those that are bit color shy, weaving ultra violet in your home decor can be a bit daunting, especially if you have small children and have visions of Barney the Dinosaur running around your home.
Rooms that do Violet right
But not if it’s done right like…… this living room
This Dining Room
This front door
Or this office
The beauty of Ultra Violet is you can go really bold or inject the color in small doses and still get the same affect. The key is balance when it comes to Violet.
Using Violet in my own home?
Here’s a few examples of how I have come close to using a ‘shade’ of violet ( or plum depending on who you ask) without looking like one of my kids have sprinkled grape juice all over the room. Surprisingly, this hue goes well with many other colors.
Truth of the matter is, I was closer to the color back in 2000 when I painted my master bedroom ( in our previous home) Violet and paired the color in my bedding. Wonky picture, but you get the idea.
So if painting a wall, investing in a violet couch or painting the front door purple are too much of a risk, I have gathered 6 Ways to Use Pantones Color of the Year for 2018 without the shock and awe and breaking the bank.
So are you a fan of the color Violet in your home decor?
Grateful
For healthy children

To be honest it is not a color that I am crazy about for my own home, but I love the examples you shared. xo Laura
small doses probably works for most people.
No, I won’t be using it in my home again. My bedroom was painted that color back in 1976. Yikes! Not going there again. Lol
I love the touches of violet in Cassie’s home and the dining room, with a healthy dose of white, is beautiful.
you were a trend setter back then!
When my husband and I built our home in 1999 we painted our master bedroom a beautiful periwinkle color (lavender/blue) that changes with the way the sun hits the room. We put white plantation shutters in and have white crown molding s against a white ceiling. Our bed is a wooden king size and the carpet is soft white Berber.
I am still in love with it as it is so soothing and relaxing place to be.
Beautiful color and the designs are absolutely amazing
Wow, decorating with purple truly are beautiful. I have touches of purple in our small powder room, but never thought to paint and decorate with it on a larger scale. However, after seeing what you did with purple paint, I must change my my. Thank you so much for waking me up to trying new designs/paint colors.
