While in home decor it makes a variety of statements, from tradition and elegance to boldness and spirituality, says Pantone.
However, as this color is so saturated and bold, many people don't know how to handle it in interior design. Today, we provide you some Ultra Violet design ideas to shape your own distinctive style in your home and create feelings of light, joy, and warmth.

You can boldly use Ultra Violet as your wallpaper, which can create a sense of romance and mystique. But if you don't like color-chaos, choose simple adornments as minimalist light, chair & wooden shelf to match it.

How about infusing yourself into the Ultra Violet? One soft Ultra-violet sofa or bed can make it come true. They can calm you down and put you into the world of profound inventiveness and imagination.
"From exploring new technologies and the greater galaxy, to artistic expression and spiritual reflection, intuitive Ultra Violet lights the way to what is yet to come."
This is how Lee Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, describes Ultra Violet.
He also noted, "We are living in a time that requires inventiveness and imagination." And this is what the Ultra Violet will inspire.
