Color Dose: Purple

Hello, everyone!  Kelly of Fabulous K here, back with another issue of Color Dose.  Today I wanted to share a color that I used to loathe: PURPLE!  I'm not sure why I never liked it before, but slowly I find myself gravitating to multiple shades of this sophisticated hue.  I have a soft spot for lilac; it's quickly becoming one of my favorites! What do you think of purple?  Have you incorporated it into your decor?

Paloma I do love the various shades of purple and have my master bath in a light lavender, I love amythist, periwinkle and the combination of purple and white in designs like ikats and trellage.

It's funny because I never like purple until I got older. I have yet to work it into my decor but I just might.

In small doses it is fine,but I had a grandmother that I wasn't fond of that drowned every inch of her bedroom in it,so I am a bit turned off by it. The photos you have though are nice.

I love purple as long as it has a lot of grey in it (e.g. silvery lilac) or is very dark (e.g. plum or eggplant). I like the pinky purples in much smaller doses, like that piece of fan coral in the first picture.

Purple has started to make a comeback in my world too. It was a color I instantly gravitated toward throughout childhood and college and for some reason fell out of favor with me.

My daughter who is inlove with all things neon, just saw a bedroom set in these shades of purple, fell inlove, and totally flipped her taste. I think these purples are so universal, and I hope they stay around for a while! :)
