Winter is a great time to start planning (dreaming?) about redecorating a room in your home. Why not consider designing a room in one of the new colors for 2014? If you aren’t quite brave enough to do the whole room, consider using one as an accent color.
- Radiant Orchid, Pantone Color of the Year
Radiant Orchid is actually rather calming in this lovely master bedroom. When balanced with lots of white, the color doesn’t become overwhelming.
Or upholster a sofa with straight, clean lines. The stripes are very dramatic and contrast beautifully with the wallpaper and ottoman.
Or as an accent color like these dining room chairs.
- Sherwin Williams Color of the year Exclusive Plum
Exclusive Plum isn’t as bright as Radiant Orchid, so is an easier color to paint on the walls. What do you think about pairing it with lime green?
Another white room with just a touch of Plum. I don’t know about you, but I love stripes.
Or throw in shades of orange.
- PPG Color of the Year Turning Oak Leaf
If you’re not quite ready to commit to a bold color, then try PPG Turning Oak Leaf on walls, as an accent color or even on the front door for a refreshing change.
Which color would you choose?
I am terrible when it comes do designing a home. Believe it or not, my husband does everything! But I’m glad I have your site to come back to for more tip and tips:)
I’m surprised how much I like that Radiant Orchid on the wall. It actually looks beautiful!
I love all that purple. I wish I could decorate so boldly. Thanks for sharing. Visiting from SITS.
I love the orange drapes in the white-walled room. Striking and fresh! Stopping by from SITS Comment Love.
Every year when they announce the pantone color of the year I initially think, “who picks these crazy colors!” And then once I see them in action I recognize how brilliant they are and end up loving them, sometimes a little too much. I have already embraced radiant orchid, in small ways.
