By now, I’m sure you already know what Pantone’s Color of the Year is for 2015. When it was first announced, Marsala collected a lot of skeptics. After Tangerine Tango in 2012, Emeraldin 2013, and Radiant Orchid last year, Marsala seems a bit…. well boring. It comes across as dull and outdated when paired against those bright colors.

What’s up with that, Pantone? However, after a bit of time to sink in, Marsala is taking over my Pinterest boards and invading my closet. Turns out that this burnt orange-y red is so rich and full and grown up, it’s just what we need to start implementing in our decorating. Here are 10 ways to use Marsala in your everyday interior decor.

1. Bits and Pieces

If you’re hesitant about adding such a deep rich color in large amounts, try out just a few things here and there. A throw pillow, a blanket, a gorgeous Marsala ottoman. I am all over that right there. (via The Every Girl)

2. On The Floor

Rugsare a great way to implement such a dark color into your home, especially when they’re paired with another deep color in beautiful patterns. It adds the richness you’re looking for without being too overwhelming. (via Domino)

3. Curtains

They say that dark rooms help you sleep better and we all know that heavy curtains help to block outside light. When you’re choosing bedroom drapes, think Marsala. And in this silky material? It’s everything you could wish for in making your bedroom a luxurious place. (via Vogue)

4. Furniture

How about that couch, hmm? Such deep colored furniture speaks of yesteryear. A time of fancy cocktail soirees and flapper girls whispering behind their bright red lipstick. Maybe adding a piece of Marsala furniture to your home will inspire you to host a party worthy of the great Gatsby himself. (via Lonny)

5. Leather

Leathercan be a hard thing to implement into your decor. Most people find it too light or too dark for the style they’re aiming for. But here comes Marsala to the rescue, creating a leather piece that will stand out among your other household furniture. (via BHG)

6. Paint It
