Rule number one: do not overdo
All right, we got all enthusiastic about what this color mean and of its fascinating symbolism, but let’s not forget that ultraviolet is not an easy color: we don’t want you to overuse it, for it could lead to a busy interior design, too stuffed and overwhelmed by this bright color. A good way to start might be to paint one wall of a room of your choice, for example the bedroom. Be careful here: we said one wall, and one only: a totally purple room would not look good. Be bold and dare with the new color of the year, but be careful not to overdo it. “Purple rain” is a wonderful song, but you don’t want to feel like that when preparing to go to sleep, right? You can use other ultraviolet details in the room, such as a pillow, or a blanket, if we are talking about the bedroom. But always remember that even boldness requires a little class, and never forget the sacred motto of good taste: less is more.
