Everything's Coming Up Radiant Orchid

As Samantha mentioned in her post earlier this week, Pantone's Color of the Year for 2014 is Radiant Orchid. I, for one, am super excited at the prospect of seeing this pinkish purple shade more often; it's one of my favorite colors. While I would love an all-orchid room, I think it would work best for most people as an accent color. The easiest way to incorporate it into your decor would be to purchase an actual orchid. But if you are intimidated by the prospect of maintaining a finicky plant, or you are like me and really love it, there are already lots of Radiant Orchid housewares out there. See below for some options.

1. Ceiling Lamp from Overstock; 2. Table Lamp from Overstock; 3. Curtains from Land of Nod; 4. Rug from Target;  5. Glass from Jonathan Adler; 6. Bowl from Kosta Boda; 7. Duvet Cover and Sham from Pottery Barn Teen; 8. Glass from Pier One; 9. Lantern from World Market; 10. Towel from Elementarie

So how do you feel? Do you think Radiant Orchid is a good choice for color of the year? How do you feel about decorating with it?
