If you haven't heard, Pantone recently announced the 2014 trend color of the year: Radiant Orchid! Each year, the Pantone Color Institute designates a color reflective of what's globally current, and one that will resonate across the worlds of fashion, beauty and interiors.
Radiant Orchid complements a variety of colors, including olive, hunter green, light yellow, turquoise, and teal, as well as beige, gray and taupe. I think it also looks great with light blue and navy. Below are examples of how the color was incorporated by other interior designers.

Radiant Orchid is a perfect color to use when wanting to brighten and refresh any room. If you are feeling inspired to incorporate the IT color of the year into your home, start by looking for rugs, accessories, pillows. This rug, for example would be a great addition to a girl's room, playroom, or even a family room.

I would add a pair of these ceramic table lamps, keep the furniture a neutral color, and add an acrylic coffee table.

This same Radiant Orchid table lamp could also be added to a bedside table in a guest or master bedroom. This bedding collection from Serena and Lily would coordinate beautifully.

The wall covering below would look awesome in a master bath or small power room.
Sadly when I searched my own home and closet for Radiant Orchid, the only thing I could find resembling the color was Emily's highchair toy...obviously this won't cut it!
Regardless, I'm looking forward to incorporating this color into some of my upcoming projects and I'll be on the hunt for more Radiant Orchid items to add to my home. Perhaps some new throw pillows are in my very near future!
Sending Love and Design...
