Energize any room in the house by adding Pantone’s 2023 Color of the Year, Viva Magenta. The bright and exciting shade of reddish pink adds flair to a space and can easily be incorporated into your design. “Viva Magenta is a shade rooted in nature descending from the red family and expressive of a new signal of strength,” explains Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute. “Viva Magenta is brave, and fearless, and a pulsating color whose exuberance promotes a joyous and optimistic celebration!”

AZADI Fine Rugs offers three ways to pair area rugs with this rich hue. First, consider your color palette when selecting an area rug. Refer to a color wheel to find complementary shades to the color you have chosen. The complimentary shade to magenta is green. “Opposite from magenta you’ll find green on a color wheel. By combining green and magenta, you’ll create a rich, bold, eclectic look, with a powerful contrast,” a representative from AZADI explains. “Suppose you decide to use magenta for the walls, this green rug will provide the contrast you are looking for with a romantic, Boho feeling.”

If a magenta-green pairing is too bold for your space, consider natural earth tones. A light-colored rug paired with Viva Magenta accents adds vibrant pops of color to a room. “This combination makes a classic, timeless color palette that will mirror nature. Magenta calling to mind the sunset, and the earth tones reflecting a desert landscape.”
For an exciting and edgy vibe, consider magenta with a black rug. A black rug is perfect for a modern home and will allow the jewel tones of magenta to stand out. “Adding a black area rug will create an instantly chic, modern look – perfect for a modern home. Another selection from our Modern Moroccan Collection, this black area rug is sure to ground the feel of the room while providing the perfect backdrop for Viva Magenta.”
