Posted on January 31st, 2018

Settled into your new home and ready to start decorating and putting your own stamp on each room? Well, why not take some inspiration from Pantone’s Colour of the Year?

Pantone are best known for their colour matching system, which is used in a variety of industries for paint, fabrics, plastics and many more items!

Every year, Pantone decide on a Colour of the Year, which sets the tone for the colourful trends we can expect to see in stylish interior magazines and creeping onto the high street.

2018’s Colour of the Year is Ultra Violet; ‘a dramatically provocative and thoughtful purple shade that communicates originality, ingenuity, and visionary thinking that points us toward the future’ according to Pantone.

So, get cosy with a cup of tea and take a look at some of our top Ultra Violet picks from the shops!

1.The velvet sofa

Our first pick is this 2 seater velvet sofa from Habitat, this is a real statement but is beautifully finished and sure to be a big talking point!
