PANTONE 18-3838 Ultra Violet has been announced as the Colour of the Year and moody, rich and deep colour accents are set to take over 2018.

Justine Wilson, Director and Principal Stylist at Vault Interiors believes the dramatically provocative and thoughtful purple shade, complimentary deep pinks, plum, purple and violet go hand in hand with the already growing interior trend of Regency Glam.

Justine shares her top four tips on how to incorporate PANTONE 18-3838 Ultra Violet into your own interior scheme.

1. Crystals make amazing decorative tools, and as a nod to the colour of the year amethyst is the perfect addition to your home. They look beautiful on sideboards, coffee tables or bookshelves.

2. Flowers add a natural decorative touch to your home. Choose stunning orchids in a deep purple that will make a wonderful addition to your entry console. They are delicate, pretty and luxurious.

3. Bedroom Decor: Injecting a pop of purple into your bedroom is as simple as adding a few scatter cushions and a throw in variations of the deep purple. If you wish to liven up your walls try to select an artwork that has the same hint of purple.

4. Feature Wall: It’s a bold move to paint a deep colour feature wall but if you’re brave enough you will have a dramatic talking point and it will set the tone for a space of luxury. Pair the wall with some metallic accents in either cushions or furniture pieces; add in some faux fur and you will have a vibrant and rich looking space.
