Start Small: Easy Ways to Add Viva Magenta to Your Home

For some, using this theatrical color can be a challenge. 

Remember during your design process this color will naturally draw attention to itself. If you paint your entire living room this color, you're clearly on the cusp of this hue utterly captivating you and possessing the vigor, hope, and joy it inspires.

However, if you don't feel that in touch with the color to the point of splashing it all over everything you own, there are plenty of ways you can balance it out with other colors and make it a popping statement in any room. 

Top Ways to Use Viva Magenta in Your Home:

• Add accent pillows, throws, or rugs for a bold yet balanced touch
• Pair with dark blue or green for a rich, Art Deco-inspired look
• Paint your front door in Viva Magenta for a statement entryway
• Use plant-print wallpaper alongside magenta decor for a fresh, modern feel

It's common for those looking to re-design their space to always opt for neutral. After all, it's a safe bet—much cleaner, simpler, and easier to decorate. But the time has come for you to experiment with a few color combinations in the bedroom! It's undoubtedly hiding in your subconscious somewhere.  

As a general rule of thumb, we'd recommend dark blue against green with a touch of Viva Magenta for a sophisticated, classy, yet totally unique, art-deco look. 

If full maximalist is in your 2023 New Year resolution alongside all the newest interior design trends, we’d suggest adding a plant print wallpaper alongside your Viva Magenta touch. It will give your room a brand-new rejuvenation and bring the outside in. 

Look at it as a test of your balancing of colors! If the above isn't to your taste, Viva Magenta paired with an off-white background, with splashes of the above color in your decor works too. Pair with white bed sheets and a magenta blanket or pillow covers, and you'll already start to feel the difference.

If you're one of those people who want to take Viva Magenta to the next level, you can paint your front door and alter the atmosphere and initial impressions of your house.

In an instant, your Viva Magenta-inspired door gives off the vibe that you are a trendsetter and ahead of the curve! There is some leeway when picking the best colors for a front door to deviate from the standard and use a hue that will fit your personality, like this daring hue.
