Monday - Violet

Seasonal colour and style trends are very important to observe for interior designers and here at Pair Studio we've been studying to Spring/Summer 2012 fashion, style and colour trends. To celebrate the importance of this new colour palette, we've dedicated a whole week of blog posts to seven of our favourite S/S12 colours.


For Monday, the first day of the week (and often a depressing day for many, having to wake up early and face the reality of work), we've chosen Violet, a serene, calm colour... deep breath. Violet is a mystical color which has an historical association with royalty and is very powerful. Although it is an extremely pleasant color it is important not to apply it in to large surfaces or as the only color - for a better visual balance, combine with contrasting colors, such as yellow and green. Now make a cup of tea and let's get the week started.
