One colour you can expect to see a lot more of this year is violet. Well, ultraviolet, to be exact, since it’s Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2018.

Strong shades of purple, particularly from the blush end of the specturm rather than the burgundies , will instantly update you home. It’s the perfect way to add an opulently luxurios, if slightly decadent, feel and lift to your room from bland to brilliant.
