All things purple

I love how Alice Walker said, "I think it pisses God off when you by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it".  So true!!! If you're using purple you're making a statement! The color purple is comforting, spiritual, mysterious, restful, creative, & artistic and can work just about anywhere! Unlike most other colors we can design our homes with, purple has the ability to be cool and warm depending on the other colors it's combined with.
It's said purple encourages imagination and can draw out the creative in all of us!

In the kitchen, purple used is often associated with wine and grapes, and accentuates an Italian themed kitchen design. I love the contrast of the plum chairs and white dining table. Gorgeous!

A purple sofa makes a strong statement in this purple themed living room. It's dramatic but with a sense of calmness and balance.

In the bedroom, softer purples like lavenders and violets create a soothing and relaxing effect. I wouldn't mind laying my head to sleep soft upholstered headboard in purple each night!

And purple is always a fun idea for any kids furniture.  Although often associated with a more feminine look, purple can still be used in a masculine way with deeper tones.
