I am really liking purple/eggplant decor lately. There is something about the color purple that is so calming and relaxing. There are four effects that the color purple usually makes us all feel:
1). Uplifting
2). Calming to the mind and nerves
3). Offers a sense of spirituality
4). Encourages creativity
Purple also has a sense of royalty, riches, luxury, and power. A dark purple accent wall or purple lighting can set the right mood for a relaxing environment.
What does the color purple make you feel? Do you have purple anywhere in your home?
I am going to have a purple/lilac office :)
ReplyDeleteI wear a lot of purple and have a few pillows and other accents around the house.
ReplyDeleteI love that purple door and the fireplace against lilac wall - GORGEOUS!
I have been wondering what color to paint my office and you have inspired me to use purple! Cheers!
