When Pantone announces its color of the year, trends begin to emerge in fashion, window treatments, wall coverings, and interior design. For 2014, the Pantone color of the year is Radiant Orchid, a bold combination of purple and pink. Here at Value Blind & Heirloom Design serving the greater DC area, our decorators can help find ways to incorporate Radiant Orchid into your home design. Here are just a few ideas:
Create Custom Drapery, Valances
The eye is drawn to Radiant Orchid immediately, so it works well as a top treatment or in custom drapery. Solid colors make a bold statement, and a patterned fabric for your drapery can introduce a new color in a more subtle way.
Blinds and Shades the Complement Radiant Orchid
As an accent color, Radiant Orchid goes well with neutral or gray tones. Natural tones also work great to make Radiant Orchid really pop. In a dining area, for example, you may choose a soft neutral roller shade for your window, accented with radiant orchid flat panel drapes. Or, create a Radiant Orchid valance for above your Silhouette shades.
Design Accents
You don’t have to go all out to incorporate Pantone’s color of the year into your room design. Use it as one of your accent colors with pillows, throws, rugs, artwork, and accessories. In a bedroom, Radiant Orchid works beautifully either in your bedding itself, or on extra pillows and hanging art. Be creative!
Fabric Choices for Radiant Orchid
Radiant Orchid words on traditional velvet, chintz or patterned fabric. Corduroy is also making a comeback, and the boldness of this year’s color combined with the soft and cuddly corduroy feel may work perfectly in your home. Whether on a pillow, a couch, or chair, corduroy exudes comfort but looks just as vibrant in a formal room. Corduroy is a feel-good fabric, perfect for this year’s color of the year.
