If you favor classics, you can still participate in the Radiant Orchid trend. The color gives traditional spaces a lively update with pops of it on pillows, lampshades or an ottoman. For the cooler months, stick with richer textures like velvet (Majestic Velvet works well), and consider throwing in a pattern, like a small ikat.

Who knew that Radiant Orchid and Apple Green were a match made in heaven?! Interior designer Tom Scheerer says, “Good color schemes always have complementary colors…Often it will be from the opposite spot on the color wheel.” Enhance the hue of 2014 with a pattern that has both colors like Highland Court’s Peace – Cactus.
