On Trend: The Colour Purple





I'm noticing various shades of violet popping up here and there. It's a tricky colour to decorate with but always looks fresh when mixed with green or metal.
These examples are from the new Bloomingville range and a purple paneled room via Plush Palate.

  1. Purple was my color in junior high. Alas, a serial murderer was getting young girls, all wearing purple.

    My parents said I couldn't wear purple. One morning I awoke to a pile of cut-up purple clothing in the living room.

    One dress I can still see as if it were yesterday. It was the color of the wall in your last pic.

    Purple thoughts, about purple.

    Now I like my purples more Aubergine........eggplant.

  2. I could live very easily with the first 3 photos ... very soft but makes a lovely accent. The bottom photo might take a little bit more time to be comfortable with. Thanks for keeping us up on trend.

  3. I inherited a purple color plan when my husband and I moved into a different house a few years ago. I thought I couldn't live with it but I made it my own and toned it down a bit. I now am very happy with it and wish it was more vibrant..but, alas, my husband has no desire to change it (just like a man) and I am not up to the challenge either..so I will enjoy it just as it is! Love your blog

  6. I love those royal purple walls, but you'd need a royal scale room to go with them.
