“An unconventional shade for an unconventional time,” as described by Pantone, Viva Magenta is there to empower, uplift, and awaken the senses.
Colors have the ability to dictate mood and emotions. Viva Magenta is about courage and strength, optimism and vibrance - all qualities that we can bring into our homes this year.
HOW TO USE IT IN YOUR INTERIOR DESIGN
A bold and dynamic color such as Viva Magenta can be intimidating. It is certainly bolder to use than a neutral color, but it can make a great statement and create a big impact. Here are a few ideas to incorporate Viva Magenta into your home.
Create an ACCENT WALL!
One way to use Viva Magenta is on an accent wall. An accent wall draws attention and focus and can enhance the look and feel of any room. Some rooms to use this bold color as an accent wall would be your dining room, your kid’s room, your office, or the living room.
Make sure the surrounding colors of the room will go well with this color. Keep reading to find out which colors we like to combine it with.
FURNITURE PIECES
Selecting a new furniture piece in a bold color like Viva Magenta is an excellent way to add interest to your space. Think a new sofa, ottoman, or accent chair! Just one bold element in this fierce color can elevate the room and create a unique moment. It is important to make sure that the other elements in the room complement the piece while also allowing it to pop.

SOFT FURNISHINGS
Soft furnishings such as curtains, accent pillows, bedding, rugs, tapestries, or even doormats are an excellent way to introduce Viva Magenta into your home decor without committing to purchasing a large piece of furniture or painting a wall. This is a good way to introduce the vibrance of Viva Magenta into your space as a pop of color. It is also a great way to test it and see if you like it!

Use it as an Accent
If you are feeling like you want a touch of vibrance, you can introduce Viva Magenta as a painted accent trim in your space or accessories such as lighting or art. This is a more subtle way to bring the power of Viva Magenta to your space without overwhelming the color palette. If you are feeling adventurous, you could carry it all the way down to the floor as a large statement moment.
We love pairing Viva Magenta with earth tones such as mustard, terracotta, or lavender. For a more impactful color combination, use Viva Magenta with chartreuse or cerulean blue.
