From punchy pinks to crimson reds, rosy tones are making their mark as go-to statement shades that work all year round. Often seen as seasonal, the pink and fuchsia hues that were the stars of 2022 have made their way into the home as more permanent fixtures, adding bursts of energy to interiors and complementing the maximalist trend in home decor. These feel good shades have the staying power to take us beyond spring and summer, while also igniting demand for more rich tones within this vibrant colour family.
Crimson influenced shades, like Pantone’s 2023 Color of the Year - Viva Magenta, highlight the versatility and joyful presence blushing shades bring to our homes. Described by the Pantone Color Institute™ as “a shade rooted in nature descending from the red family and expressive of a new signal of strength”, Viva Magenta makes a captivating case for becoming the must-have colour for interior spaces this year.
Introducing these all-eyes-on-me shades into your home can feel a little daunting, but with some planning, the final look is sure to be the stylish update you never knew you needed. With spring just around the corner, this is the perfect time to bring life to a bare wall with a fresh coat of magenta-inspired paint or wall-paper feature – adding a statement sofa or accent chairs in this colour palette will also enhance the la vie en rose energy in your home. If you’re not ready to make a big investment, try swapping your pillows and throws for a new set that feature these energetic shades. And, don’t forget to complete your style edit with decorative accessories in similar tones (a vase filled with vibrant pink and crimson blooms is highly recommended).
