What Is Ultra Violet

Every year, Pantone selects a color that they feel represents the direction that trends and design are heading. Their predictions can be seen in fashion, home décor, advertisements and more. Last year’s color of the year, Greenery, was “symbolic of new beginnings.” The soft green was a shade that was easily incorporated into many rooms.

Transitioning to 2018, Ultra Violet is Pantone’s color of choice. According to Pantone, “Ultra Violet communicates originality, ingenuity and visionary thinking that points us toward the future.” They also describe it as symbolic of unconventionality and artistic brilliance.

As a blue-based purple, it’s easy to understand how it represents the future. While you may be surprised by how bright it is, it certainly is in line with this year’s trends, inviting bolder colors into the home. When styled correctly, Ultra Violet can be a welcome, trendy look for your home!

Painting With Ultra Violet

If you’ve been wondering what color to paint a room, Ultra Violet might be the answer. As bright as Ultra Violet is, it can be a great way to freshen up an outdated room. It goes perfectly with minimalist décor. If you don’t want to paint the entire room, Ultra Violet makes for the perfect accent wall, blending in well with neutral gray or white walls.

Many homeowners decide to take on painting as a DIY project. If this color inspires you, then it’s time to get to work. Read Top Tips To Paint A Room Like A Pro to see how you can apply this color perfectly.

 

Ultra Violet Tile Backsplash

I love the idea of creating a focal point with Ultra Violet and a tile backsplash does just that. Since Moroccan tiles are hot this year, try to find styles in the bright purple hue. Ultra Violet is a great bathroom tile backsplash. You can even mix it up with white backsplash tile. You can make this pop even more with Ultra Violet accessories like towels and washcloths. The possibilities are endless!

 

Ultra Violet Bedroom Décor

While your bedroom is a place to rest and rejuvenate, it can also be a space where creativity blossoms. Incorporating Ultra Violet into your bedroom décor will certainly stand out. Starting with your bed, you can create a headboard to match the current trends by adding some new upholstery. If you’re redecorating on a budget, you may consider switching your duvet cover to match the color of the year. Curtains are another budget friendly way to introduce this trendy color into your bedroom.

Unlike other colors, Ultra Violet is complimented best by other bright accent colors such as yellow, green or turquoise. Throw pillows and small accessories will help to create a beautifully-styled bedroom you’ll love.

Ultra Violet Living Room Accents

Similar to the bedroom, Ultra Violet will be a color that stands out wherever it’s placed. It will give a futuristic flair to your space. Place Ultra Violet throw pillows and blankets on a neutral couch to pop in the room. For a bigger focal point, try to incorporate a rug in Ultra Violet as well as other shades. The living room is also a great place to paint an accent wall.

Wall décor and accessories are also a great way to incorporate this color. You can create a gallery wall using prints in Ultra Violet colors. Another trend that’s popping up with this color is the use of amethyst crystals. You can add toa vase or simply arrange on a small coffee table tray for a beautiful sparkle in your living room!

Matching Ultra Violet With Other Styles

Ultra Violet is bold and bright, so you’ll have to be more selective about what styles you’ll be incorporating it with. Stay away from incorporating Ultra Violet into vintage, rustic and mid-century modern styles as the warm, rich colors will likely clash. Instead, include Ultra Violet in minimalist and contemporary décor.

This color stands out well against bold, geometric patterns as well. It’s easy to incorporate into a timeless black and white bathroom or kitchen with a few small changes. You’ll be surprised at how easily it transforms your room!

Keep in mind, this color is representative of originality and ingenuity. So, try to think out of the box when incorporating it into your home and with other styles. It will certainly make your home one-of-a-kind!

Conclusion

Ultra Violet is the 2018 color of the year and will pop in any design. It's sure to encourage homeowners to uniquely decorate their homes this year. Try a few of these smaller changes and if you like it, make a bigger decorative change to really make a statement.
