Pantone, keepers of all things color, recently announced their 2018 pick for Color of the Year, and it’s a doozy: Ultra Violet, a rich, daring, offbeat purple that calls to mind the cosmos and definitely looks ahead to the future. We here at Adrian Durban Florist believe a color with this much drama looks especially great when introduced into the home in winter, and at the turn of the year, no less. It’s a great opportunity to update your home’s look, and even if purple may feel like an unorthodox choice at first, you’ll quickly become accustomed to this jewel-toned hue.

Start by adding a floral design that picks up the purple family. A blend of tones adds so much depth and richness to your home’s look, and helps you get accustomed to this year’s “It” color before committing to wall paint or a bunch of new throw pillows. See how easy it would be to bring a touch of purple in if you rely on something like our Lavender Delight Bouquet?

This arrangement will give you the modern refresh of your home’s decor scheme without taking it out of your comfort zone. There’s a great balance of flowers here, tons of texture, and of course, this smells like a dream. It’s never a bad idea to try something new with your decor, especially since you’re likely to be seeing this color well-represented as the year goes on.
