Phillip Jeffries + Viva Magenta!

Recognized as the leading source on color around the world, Pantone has chosen a bright fuchsia color with hints of red as THE color for 2023. A bold new hue that infuses optimism and vibrancy, Viva Magenta is predicted to influence fashion and interior trends.

Designers have always turned to vibrant hues to add personality and energy to a space. When working in rooms with a lot of color and patterns, a solid wallcovering grounds the space. Phillip Jeffries Manila Hemp wallcovering is the perfect choice when you're looking for a vibrant, saturated grasscloth wallcovering. We offer more than 40 colorways to choose from! Our range of natural grasscloth wallcoverings are handcrafted by artisans with twice as much material and washed in color for an incredibly saturated and textured look.

SHADES OF MAGENTA

This bold pink grasscloth wallcovering is definitely a wow moment with the all-white decor and chrome fixtures. 

Add a hint of blue to your pink palette and use a cool fuchsia hue! The accent wall in the 
sitting room below right is designed by Philadelphia-based design firm, Kaminski and Pew. Running the full height of an expansive living room, the vibrant pink Manila Hemp grasscloth anchors this eclectic and colorful room. (5278 Fuchsia, Photo by Kyle Born Photo).
