The future. It’s ripe with possibilities. If you find hope and inspiration in the time ahead, then you’re not alone. We’re living in a very future-focused culture right now. And, with its pick for Color of the Year 2018, the Pantone Color Institute is lighting the way to all the future has in store. Choosing Ultra Violet, a dramatic and thoughtful shade of purple, Pantone offers more than just design inspiration for the coming year. It also speaks to the way we should live our lives. Want to know how the Color of the Year 2018 can help you fashion an amazing home and lifestyle? We’ve got answers for you!
Focus on Enjoyment
Often, it feels like we’re constantly surrounded by chaos and negativity. And that takes a toll on us, for sure. The Color of the Year 2018 is here to remind us to embrace the good in life. Ultra Violet, and purple in general, is a positive color. It’s long been known to be calming, uplifting, and encouraging. So, let it bring some calm into your hectic days, uplift your spirits, and encourage you to enjoy more in life. Be intentional about focusing on enjoyment. Watch purples dance with oranges and pinks in a gorgeous sunset. Wrap up in a plush purple blanket on these cold winter nights. Or try making lavender-infused water to create your own spa experience at home.

Get Rid of Stress
We hear it all the time…”Reduce stress in your life.” It’s good advice, really, but so often we get caught up in the daily grind. Somehow we can run ourselves ragged for hours on end, yet we can’t seem to find five minutes to do anything relaxing! The Color of the Year 2018 is here to change that. Purple embodies the feelings of peace, calm, and mindfulness. So, choose your favorite shade–anything from Ultra Violet to soft lilac–and weave relaxation into your life this year. You can go all out with a total room-makeover. Or, start small with fresh purple flowers, a few dabs of lavender oil, or a charming purple accent piece.
Another way to reduce stress? Automation. PowerView motorization will take adjusting your window coverings off your to-do list forever! Without even a thought from you, your blinds and shades will always be in the perfect position.
Be Who You Are
Ultra Violet is a complex color, and it reminds us that–as individuals–we’re complex too. So many aspects make up who we are. And there’s no reason to hide them! The Color of the Year 2018 is here to inspire us to express ourselves. It calls us to be creative, original, and true to ourselves. Bringing your favorite shade of purple into your home design can spark your imagination and create a look that’s unique to you. Art, upholstery, and fabrics are perfect places for purple to shine. But if purple isn’t your thing, don’t feel pressure to use it simply because the design world will be enamored with it this year. The whole idea is to let your home design speak to who you are and what you love.
What’s the best way to create a look you’ll love in your home? Start with the backdrop. Custom shades and blinds allow you to set the scene with your favorite colors, designs, and fabrics.
