Every year, Pantone, the company known to provide a universal language of color, selects one color they call the Color of the Year. This year is no exception! Viva Magenta 18-1750 was chosen to be the 2023 Color of the Year. A vibrant and bold color that is setting the tone for this year's interior design ideas!
Let’s learn more about this color already influencing marketing trends, remodels, and how it can bring its power to your home design.

“An unconventional shade for an unconventional time” as described by Pantone, Viva Magenta is there to empower, uplift, and bring joy!
Colors have the ability to affect mood and emotions and Viva Magenta is about courage and strength while being optimistic.
Great qualities that we can bring into our homes as well this year whether remodeling or building a new home!
A dynamic color such as Viva Magenta can be harder to use than a neutral color but it can make a great bold statement and will create an impact! Here are a few ideas to incorporate this color into your home.
One way to use it is as an accent wall. An accent wall draws attention and focus and can improve the look and feel of any room. Great rooms to use this bold color as an accent wall would be your bedroom, your kid’s room, your office, or the living room.
Make sure the surrounding colors of the room will go well with this color. Read reading to find out which color we like to combine it with.
Getting new furniture pieces in a bold color can be a great way to change things up without too much work.
Think of a new sofa, footrest, or bedframe! One element that will bring sparks and joy to the room!
Soft furnishings such as curtains, cushions, bedding, rugs, tapestries, or even doormats can be updated in that red pinkish bold color. This is a good way to test it and see if you like it!
With such a bold color, neutral colors are the way to go! They will allow this shade of red to shine. Our interior design recommendation is to think minimalist gray or sand.
But that doesn’t mean other colors have to be banned! Complementary colors such as greens can also do a wonderful combination. This green could come from plants for example! And other bold colors such as navy blue, yellow, or even black will help create the statement you’re looking for!
We like to see Pantone’s Color of the Year as a modern inspiration to give direction for the year ahead.
If your heart feels called by this bold ambitious color this is the time to try it!
