I have to admit I hated purple for a long time. I disliked it in interiors, and avoided it like the plague in clothing after Isaac Mizrahi stated somewhere that “lavender ages you”!! But I’ve made a complete turnaround and I’m thinking of purple for my l-o-n-g overdue living room design. Sometimes said to invoke dreaming if used in a bedroom, I think purple is one of the most powerful and glamorous colors around.
Painting their tiny apartment in NYC (via House Beautiful) was a bold, perfect choice.

Purple on furniture and ceilings. And how glamorous is purple with black?
And pink?
What a great idea to paint an armoire purple. It’s such a drastic, yet easy way to make an old fashioned piece look completely glamorous. Purple and brown…another surprisingly great color combination.
Designer Amanda Nisbet – as always a perfect room.

This room would not have stood out as much, had the ceiling not been purple.
White accents on purple is another nice touch.
The palest of purple.
A subtle, geometric soft purple wallpaper.
Fantastic bedroom via Full House.
Yeah that’s it…I’ve convinced myself. Something will definitely be purple in the living room.
