Were you looking to add a color to your decor scheme at home that would feel thoroughly modern and really brighten your winter? Look no further than color expert Pantone’s pick for Color of the Year, Ultra Violet. It’s an intriguing, cosmic, majestic, mysterious shade, and we here at Peoples Flowers are loving it.

Now, don’t get us wrong, adding purple to your life is a bit trickier than it looks. So before you go painting an accent wall, start off slow. A flower design that showcases purple’s unique qualities is just the way to go.

You don’t even have to do Ultra Violet at first, stick with a purple that feels a little more familiar. Orchids come in a stunning hue that will ease you into purple’s palette. Our Dendrobium Dance is the kind of thing we mean, with its wild and far-reaching buds creating a unique shape that is just as compelling as the color.

Purple looks amazing next to green – or citron, or chartreuse – so keep that in mind as you begin working it into your space. This “It” color is going to be showing up all over the place soon, whether down a runway or on the shelves at your favorite home decor store. So brighten up your winter with a bit of it now. We don’t think you’ll regret it, and look to us at Peoples Flowers to help you bring it right in.
