Out with Emerald Green of 2013, make room for Radiant Orchid. Purple will be the name of the game next year, according to Pantone's color-trend prediction, which says "Radiant Orchid" will be everywhere. Work the hue into your home with these vibrant elements.
- Accent Chairs. Accent chairs are perfect for a splash of color. They can be moved from room to room for different looks. Plus they can be easily recovered when the 2015 color makes its debut.
- Decorative Vases. If you love your white roses, then keep them in a Radiant Orchid vase. Simple, easy and chic.
- Throw Pillows. The perfect solution for adding the color of the year because you can find them in all shapes, sizes, textures and fill.
- Art. If you can’t find that perfect print, swing by a craft store grab some canvas and Radiant Orchid paint and let your kids create for you a custom art piece that you will treasure for years to come.
- Cookware. Have a wedding present to give this year? Make it even more sentimental by giving cookware in the color of the year they were married!
- Lamps. Got an old brass vase you hate? Spray paint it in a beautiful shade of Radiant Orchid for a DIY fix to add the 2014 color of the year to your home.
- Bedding. Duvets are great for adding in some variety because they can be easily changed out and you can find affordable options. Switch them out for the season to add some transition to your décor.
- Dessert Plates. Have white dishes? Mix the neutral with accent plates or dessert plates to make your table setting dramatic and different.
- Window Treatments. If you want to add some rich color to your room this color will definitely make a statement.
- Flowers. Whether you prefer fresh or the kind you can’t kill…faux, flowers can be incorporated in to any design that you have.
