Spring Time, All The Time Inspiration: Shades of Purple

I’ve been smitten more than ever before by shades of purple, especially the deep ones, but even the light shades enliven the spirit with the thought that perhaps, just maybe, spring will be coming soon.

Here are sources of inspiration from Domino, as well as some great home accessories from Z Gallerie. The accessories featured here are all currently 20% off at Z Gallerie.

The white of the table and lighter background keep this room fresh.

Paint Colors, by Behr – wall in library: deep-plum Delicious Berry #S-G-690; wall in living room: pink Zephyr #690A-1;door: lime green Pear #400A-3

The plum-colored Fleur Tealight, above, pulls in an intensity that you can use dotted around a room, or intensely with painted walls in a similar, deep color.  For a girlier, lighter and more spring-time like inspiration, the Orchid Flower Tealight, below, brings lightness to the room it inhabits.

“Few will suspect these grapy drapes edged in crisp white aren’t custom, especially when they’re paired with a damask-covered chair.”
