Hello everyone!
I just recently learned that the color of the year for 2014 is "Radiant Orchid".
I really like it too because it's a romantic color.
The first thing I thought about was that I could use my orchids to bring in that color to my home.
I like how this color works well with white furniture and upholstery.
There are lots of pretty accessories out there that would be easy to incorporate in various rooms too.
A simple throw adds a nice pop of color on this white sofa. It compliments grey very well also.
Glass containers are always a good choice for vibrant flowers too.
And baskets......
Do you like this new color of the year?
Thanks for stopping by!

It is a really pretty color. I especially love it in the flowers you mentioned.
ReplyDeleteI never pay attention to the color of the year..... I just use whatever I love. Radiant Orchid is a beautiful color.....I love any shade of pink though so I might be slightly partial :o)

I LOVE this color! One of my crepe myrtles is very similar to this color, so I might need to cut more blooms to bring inside this year. :) I also love how something as simple as a throw on the sofa can update a room. Love all these pics!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how much I will use this color in my home. But I really do like it, is is light and flirty and romantic. Such a lighthearted, fun color.

That is a very pretty color, and romantic. OK, I'm thinking my splashes of red left over from Christmas have got to go as I have a few things in the garage in this nice color.
ReplyDeleteLove the wooden grate on the table with dishes and flowers. That is a wonderful centerpiece.
I love, love, love purple in any shade and have been using it in my home for over 10 years. Finally, it's a popular color and so much easier to find the accessories I want.
ReplyDeleteI am loving the color. Its' the first one in a few years that I actually like. I can see having a lot of fun with it.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Will enjoy it at YOUR house or in MY yard. Not a big fan of it in my house or on my face or in my clothing.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting I love that color.
ReplyDeleteWe have lots of bougainvilleas that I can bring in doors.
oh, the possibilities...
I just need more time...
Hi Kelly. I have flowers in this shade of pink or orchid. It is pretty as an accent color. I do not have this color in any of my rooms though. xo, olive
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics. I do love that color especially in orchids or other flowers.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a beautiful color. I have a lavender guest room- not the walls but the accessories and bedding and everyone LOVES sleeping in that room. I think orchid is a restful color. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteYes, I do like it! I wish my house was a more neutral color scheme so that I could add pops of this here and ther. All of the photos you showed are beautiful, especially the little pink house with the baskets.
ReplyDeleteI have to confess that I am just not a purple person, although I really do like the flowers. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteI agree that the orchid looks pretty with the white. Not sure how it would look at my house, and I wasn't thrilled about last years emerald.
ReplyDeleteGuess I have to be one of the few who does not particularly like that color..Love lilacs though..Guess anything goes in flowers but other than that ...not a fan.
ReplyDeleteI am wondering who actually chooses the color of the year…a panel of designers?…anyway, the only time I can use that color is in flowers…it is a pretty color..
ReplyDeleteYes it is a beautiful color.And boy and I thinking about spring!Thanks for the lovely photos and inspiration <3

it is indeed a very relaxing color, yet it has a nice punch for using it as an accent color.
ReplyDeleteYes I love the new colour! I'm crocheting an afghan and the accent colour is Radiatn Orchid.
