除非你过着与世隔绝的生活,你知道y now that Radiant Orchid, a medium-toned pinky purple, is Pantone’s color of the year for 2014. As Janel mentioned the other day when she broke the news, it marries well with grey (the real color of the year in my opinion), as well as creamy whites and metallics. And, may I add, it’s a great color for bathrooms and bedrooms, where it reflects off your skin and makes you look amazing (I know, my bathroom used to be this color). While you may not want to go whole hog, accessories are a great way to give it a try and see if this is a color you can live with.

TOP ROW:
1.Though we’d probably ditch the chevron shade for something a little more subtle (though it’d be great in a kid’s room), one or two ofthese lampswould looks nice almost anywhere in the home.
2.Speaking of kids, I foundthis Moroccan-tile patterned rugon Land of Nod that’s sophisticated enough for a grownup.
3.Oh Jonathan Adler! If anyone was going to a have a knick knack that was as fun as this year’s color, it would be him. Usethis jarto hold vitamins, pills, change, q-tips, Nespresso capsules, or anything else that would probably looked better tucked out of sight.
4.The throw pillows in my house seem to have legs of their own. Maybe it’s just that the particularly comfortable ones are constantly being grabbed.These twolook they’d fit into that category.
5.Marimekko knows how to do color right. Use theseMakkaralla glassesto show off your favorite bordeaux.

BOTTOM ROW:

6.Personally, a throw is my favorite way to bring in a bit of color. I’m using mine all winter: tucked around my feet while I write, or over my shoulders while I sit up in bed reading. Toss it over a couch or fold it up on your bed to use at night when it gets particularly chilly. I’m lovingthis onefrom Wayfair.
7.Paired with a gray duvet, a knitted gray blanket or a faux fur throw, these上海eets from West Elmare not only made of organic cotton, they’lll make you look good too.
