And so Pantone launched Ultra Violet as the 2018 color of the year.

Here at Satara we believe Australian interiors are well placed to embrace this enigmatic color as it complements our already established color pallettes.

Our love of all things Scandi, where pale and dark greys dominate, provide a visually lovely base for ultra violet. In many of our homes, where Black is the new Black, ultra violet aesthetically works in well. And for those who favour a coastally inspired white and timber color scheme, ultra violet can be introduced here too without visually unbalancing the space.

We suggest interior designers and retailers introduce this not so shrinking violet color into Australian interiors as subtle highlights. Add dining chairs, such as our Carbo chairs to timber tables, add scatter cushions such as our Lynette to grey sofas, introduce an ultra violet pop to established pale and bolder pink bedrooms or interiors. This shade can also be partnered with pale and darker blues to stunning effect.

And if all else fails, take inspiration from nature. Our magnificent and currently blooming Jacaranda trees lead the way. As we head into summer their purple flowers sway majestically against the greyish green leaves and mid to dark timber trunks.
