A new year means a new color of the year! Pantone announced the 2023 color of the year is Viva Magenta, but how do you use Pantone’s Color of the Year? Just saying the name out loud is fun, so imagine all of the fun and unique ways this color can be incorporated into homes and offices this year. At Spectrum Stone Designs, we love helping customers add touches of creativity to their homes and offices. Whether you want a bold room revamp or just a small, subtle change, we have some ideas of how Viva Magenta can add some new life to your home or office space in the new year. 

Pantone says the color of the year is a sign of strength. It is described as a brave and fearless color that promotes joy and optimism. After hearing all of these positive adjectives to describe Viva Magenta, are you ready to incorporate it into your home? We’re here to help you with some ideas – from subtle to bold! 

For a big punch of color, try this fun color in a bathroom, dining room or bedroom. Forbes says that Viva Magenta is a bold color, but can still produce positivity even in small doses. If you’re looking for a less intense approach, consider painting an accent wall. If an accent wall still feels a little much for you, something as simple as painting a bookshelf in Viva Magenta can bring a neutral room to life. A pop of Viva Magenta with an overall neutral background is sure to bring your home positive energy in the new year. 

Are you really digging this year’s Pantone Color of the Year but still biting your lip a bit when thinking of how to incorporate Viva Magenta in your home or office? Don’t worry – Cosmopolitan has a brilliant idea…instead of something permanent like a wall or bookshelf, opt for accessories in the shade! Whether a stack of books or new cookware, it is likely we will start to see more and more home decor and accessories in this color. Adding a patterned throw pillow or blanket with the magenta shade is a great, affordable way to incorporate the color of the year. If you’re willing to spend a bit more, have an old chair, bench or other piece of furniture reupholstered in a fabric in the Viva Magenta family. 

If you’re still feeling on the fence about the Pantone Color of the Year, if and how to use it, just remember to start small. It’s easier to add more color than to take it away. We love getting creative here at Spectrum Stone Designs. If you’re ready for a full kitchen makeover incorporating new countertops and Viva Magenta, we’re ready to go! Or if you just want some input on how to incorporate the bold color, we would love to help with that as well.
