Ways to style Viva Magenta in your home
If you’re feeling daring, you can use magenta as the inspiration for your entire home decor scheme. Choosing pieces in various shades of this colour can create a cohesive look that is both stylish and individual. If you’re looking for distinctive interior design ideas, you can also use magenta in unexpected ways. For example, you could paint your kitchen walls or bathroom tiles in a strong magenta hue. This can create a distinct, one-of-a-kind look that will be sure to turn heads.
When using magenta in home interior design, it’s important to note that less is often more. While a taste of magenta can go a long way in adding drama to your space, too much of the colour can be overwhelming. To combat this, balance out your magenta accents with neutral colours like cream, black, or grey to create a harmonious look.
For a more subtle touch, you can also use magenta as an accent colour, as seen in many of our Vibrant Contemporary rugs. Sonya’s designer rugs will add a touch of glamour and sophistication to any space and are available in a variety of shapes and colours to suit any decor. This makes it an easy and fun experience to mix and match designs until you have achieved your desired look. Whether you prefer traditional patterns or modern, abstract designs, there’s a rug available to suit your personal style and the overall aesthetic of your home.

Why is the colour magenta so special?
Magenta is a hue that is rarely found in nature. It is a secondary colour, meaning that it is created by mixing red and purple. However, some flowers, fruits, and insects display colours that are similar to magenta. For example, some species of hummingbirds have magenta feathers and a few species of butterflies have iridescent wings that reflect light creating a magenta colour.
Sonya Winner’s ‘Deep Sunset’, featured above, is another example of how we look to the colour magenta in nature to feel inspired. This modern round rug is inspired by the dramatic colours seen at sunset on a Middle-Eastern beach. The design of this vibrant round rug is based on a deep, rich palette of warm colours, including red and yellow alongside deep purples and pinks. This luxurious modern piece of floor art evokes memories of the sun low in the sky about to disappear into the horizon, in a restful, yet passionate and enticing state.
