Brave, fearless, pulsating…are just some of the adjectives used to describe Pantone’s color of the year “Viva Magenta”. Yep, you read that right. Magenta. When is the last time you thought about painting a wall Magenta? Cool concept, beautiful color, bold choice!
So, let’s talk about the concept of paint colors in relation to interior design. Do you want a wall color that is trending?
I’m the first to drool over a bold, moody colored wall or room. I love it. With that said, it is quite a commitment to actually slap those paint colors on a wall in your home. Not many people love to paint, plus it can be a costly mistake to correct, if you decide you actually hate it.
So, while I will definitely cheer you on when you make unique and fearless design choice with your wall paint, I would encourage you to start slow and maybe consider sticking to a neutral (warm or cool) on your wall and then test out ALL the daring colors in your less “permanent” decor. Get some bold pillows, throws, art, even flowers!! And if you decide to go bold with a wall paint, pick a color you love and not what’s trending…unless they happen to be the same.
