I walk into a club for a drink with my friends and was amazed at how hot it looked in colour purple. The walls of the club were painted in purple and the furniture was a mix of orange, white and blue.

Just because of the colour the place had a warm and welcoming effect on me.
Even with today’s crazy colours, not many people have adopted the colour purple syndrome, yet it has a soothing feeling about it.

Purple combines the stability of blue and the energy of red. Forget about thinking of colour purple as a mourning colour, this colour has always been associated with royalty. It symbolizes power, nobility, luxury, and ambition.

It conveys wealth and extravagance. Purple is associated with wisdom, dignity, independence, creativity, mystery, and magic.

Decorating Bedroom in Purple

A person can choose to decorate their bedrooms with purple, and the colour can range from innocent lavender to a deep and mysterious royal shade. One can add a touch of glamour to the bedroom by enhancing it with purple-painted walls or lavender-accented bedding.

The colour purple has been known to have a deeply relaxing effect, and placing lavender plants around your room can add to the calming and sleep-inducing environment.

Living room

This is the best place to show off the colour purple. Purple can be overpowering, but there are ways to feature purple without devoting your entire room to it. Two walls facing each other can be painted in lighter shade of purple and the other facing walls can painted in off white or burnt orange.

Just so that the colour does not become too monotonous, the seats can be in a lighter green shade mixed with oranges, and then the cushions for the seats can be in colour purple. The area rug can be either a plain purple or mixture of purple and blue to have that soothing effect. Hang your curtains and any pictures or posters you choose.

You can also add more to the room by buying a purple lampshade andor adding candles with different shades of purple. You can use different shades of blue and white. Another addition could be some fresh lilacs or another purple flower in a decorative vase.

Purple is the colour of good judgment. It is the colour of people seeking spiritual fulfilment. It is said if you surround yourself with purple you will have peace of mind. Purple is a good colour to use in meditation.

Purple has been used to symbolize magic and mystery, as well as royalty. Being the combination of red and blue, the warmest and coolest colors, purple is believed to be the ideal colour.

If you have been looking forward to redecorating your home then try choosing your colour palette in colour purple and you will never regret it.
