The Color Purple or Violet

Interior design and decorating can be broken down into many areas, color is one of the most essential.

Color can change how an interior room feels, from changing the perception of temperature, the size, weight or heaviness of the space and most importantly evoking our emotions

Therefore it is vital that Interior Designers and Decorators have a solid knowledge of colors and their meanings.

Purple or violet is not seen commonly in todays homes, it is a color which suggests royality and spirituality, so perhaps it can be a bit intimidating around the house!

However we do use it in different forms. By adding white we create a tint of purple and these colors are know as mauves, lilacs and lavenders. These softer more restful versions of purple are used in our homes, especially in bedrooms and bathrooms as they promote day dreaming and inner calmness.
