Pantone’s Ultra Violet: it’s not ALL bad. Honest.

Pantone has named Ultra Violet the colour of the year for 2018. It was something I must admit got me a little nervous… after all, purple is a very polarising colour. But Ultra Violet is different, it’s complex, magical and portrays the mysteries of the cosmos. That sounds a bit over the top, but it actually does look like the night sky! So if you’re hesitant about using the shade in your home, don’t be! We have put together a selection of homewares that encapsulate lavender to deep purple and everything in between.
