New year, new color!

This year’s Pantone color is Viva Magenta, a deep carmine pink that automatically adds brilliance to your home this 2023. This shade of crimson screams nothing but vim and vigor, displaying strength that we all need as we look forward to a more optimistic future.

This color might be overwhelming for some, especially those whose go-to picks incline more toward neutrals. But no worries, Viva Magenta isn’t hard to love! If you’re hesitant to go all the way, use it as an accent at first or play with color blocking with pastels, and who knows you might love it just as much. Speaking of an optimistic future, here are some home furnishings that will ease viva magenta right into your home.

While it is a striking color, one that truly deserves the spotlight, it is also great when used as an accent color. Try color-blocking it with pastel hues in your bedroom.

Your home office is where you might be spending most of the day, so it’s important not to overwhelm your eyes with new bold colors. A rug in viva magenta might just be a good idea to ease your eyes in.

You can also experience its vibrancy in your living room through your cushions and pieces of artwork. Just make sure to keep the contrast by grounding the space with a neutral base to emphasize your viva magenta accents.

If you’re hesitant to make bold moves for your kitchen, try introducing viva magenta little by little like through your tea towels or china pieces. It can definitely make a dining experience at home a conversation starter!

Whether you want to go all out or test the waters first, remember that viva magenta is an overwhelming color if not used thoughtfully. So balance is always the key!
