Find Your Colour: Purple

Strong and intense, dark purple works well as an accent colour. Curtains and blinds in deeper shades like Wool in Ripple and Flax in Vineyard will frame your windows beautifully and add a layer of texture to an otherwise neutral interior. Paler tones like lilac are delicate and cool and can be used in greater quantity, working well in bedrooms. For a more maximalist or cosy vibe, mix dark purple with olive greens for a rich, luxurious feeling space.

Purples complementary colour is yellow, so touches of gold look great against intense purple, as does a sharp lime green! If these feels too intense for your interior colour scheme, use purple as an accent colour instead. Dark purple curtains will add a cosy feel to a room so may work best paired with a white wall in bedrooms or living rooms. Alternatively, a statement neutral wallpaper looks great with a rich purple - - - demonstrated beautifully by Dress Like a Mum’s nursery styling!
