The Pantone Colour of 2018 is here!

Pantone's colour experts have only gone and announced the color of 2018 already! Known to have a huge impact on the fashion, graphic design and home décor the announcement provides creative inspiration the world over. The colour they have chosen for 2018 is Ultra Violet. This is a gorgeous color, a mix of deep red and cobalt blue mix is used to create this rich, deep purple. According to Pantone Colour Institute executive director Leatrice Eiseman, Ultra Violet is 'dramatically proactive and thoughtful'.

This stunning shade isn't too far removed from the plum shade that was huge in interior design, especially in bathroom furniture throughout AW17. Ultra Violet is a rich purple shade that communicates originality and is sure to make a statement in any bathroom, however you little you choose to include it into your bathroom design.

How to incorporate Pantone Ultra Violet in your bathroom

With such a bold colour purple it can be quite daunting to paint all your walls, but that doesn't mean you have to shy away from it. Instead opt for changing your bathroom towels, shower curtain and accessories instead! You'll be surprised how much of an impact this will make to your bathroom. The best bit is Ultra Violet accessories will dazzle against white and look incredible with greys and blacks. The on trend shade will work superbly with any bathroom suite colour.

If you are one for bold décor, bright colour and really making a statement, then grab the paint and plaster on some ultra violet! The blue based purple shade is amazing backdrop for modern white furniture and creates a striking and dramatic look with darker greys or black.  If you don't want to paint the whole room, just choose a statement wall or recess and make a feature out of it. If you find the shade a little too dark or daring once its on the wall, you can always brighten it with artwork or a mirror.

We'd love to hear your thoughts on the pantone color institute that will dominate 2018. What do you think of pantones colour choice? Will you be adding this purple shade to your bathroom? Or any other room in your home?
