Hello everyone! I’m Sarah from Just The Bees Knees, and I am very excited to be here today as Bekob newest Mood Board contributor!
I love talking about the latest and greatest design trends, so today I will be sharing some tips and tricks on how YOU can incorporate this years hottest color into your home decor!
This years color of the year chosen by Pantone is Radiant Orchid. I’m absolutley loving this color! Its bold yet soft and soothing at the same time. I’m going to share with you how to take a neutral room and incorporate this hottest color trend into your space without busting out the paint brushes.
Bedrooms are a great choice to add some radiant orchid, so for some inspiration I created a mood board of a bedroom updated with a few punches of color.

6 Tips for Decorating with Radiant Orchid
Pantone’s Color of the Year
Here’s some tips and guidelines to get you started.
1. Change up your art.
Switching out your art is a great way to dress up your walls and incorporate some more color. Shop for inexpensive prints online, or even try your hand at Handmade’ing an abstract painting of your own!
2. Switch out those pillows.
No need to change all of your bedding. Just add a few orchid throw pillows to brighten up a neutral bed.
3. Accessorize!
A few artfully bold accessories mixed in make a big impact. A vase, striking agate bookends, or even a real orchid will give you those little pops of color your room needs.
4. Add a statement piece.
An old bench or chair recovered in lush, purple velevt will breath fresh life into the room! Or maybe you have a small end table that could use a new coat of paint. Whatever you decide, a small piece of furniture in bold orchid will become the star of the room.
5. Hang new drapes.
Add a punch of color against neutral walls by simply changing your window treatments. No need to hunt down that well fitted fabric print….the color speaks for itself, so direct drapes in radiant orchid will make a big impression and add a sense of luxury to the space.
6. Do mix Radiant Orchid with other colors.
On thing I love about this color is how well it mixes with grays and mustards and golds, so don’t be afraid to mix it up!
And remember…as much as we are loving this color right now, its a trend and trends are forever changing! So by adding these few straightforward updates to your space, you can keep up with the current trends without a major room renovation every year.
I hope I’ve inspired you to start decorating with this hot new color!
