I have to admit I hated purple for a long time. I disliked it in interiors, and avoided it like the plague in clothing after Isaac Mizrahi stated somewhere that “lavender ages you”!! But I’ve made a complete turnaround and I’m thinking of purple for my l-o-n-g overdue living room design. Sometimes said to invoke dreaming if used in a bedroom, I think purple is one of the most powerful and glamorous colors around.
Painting their tiny apartment in NYC (via House Beautiful) was a bold, perfect choice.

Purple on furniture and ceilings. And how glamorous is purple with black?
And pink?
What a great idea to paint an armoire purple. It’s such a drastic, yet easy way to make an old fashioned piece look completely glamorous. Purple and brown…another surprisingly great color combination.
Designer Amanda Nisbet – as always a perfect room.
A chic guest room in Tommy Hilfiger’s house.
This room would not have stood out as much, had the ceiling not been purple.
White accents on purple is another nice touch.
The palest of purple.

Fantastic bedroom via Full House.
Yeah that’s it…I’ve convinced myself. Something will definitely be purple in the living room.
My favorite is the Amanda Nisbet Room. I LOVE the purple linen tablecloth and the linen curtains. A glamorous color mixed with the earthy crunchiness of the linen is yummy. Thanks for sharing Jill. I am working on some purple cards now. Consider me inspired!
This is a great article on purple. I have written several on our blog including "Mardi Grape". Please visit our site at http://www.onlinefabricstore.com/blog/ and thanks for the beautiful pics.
Perfect title. Great post!
i felt the same sentiment when i saw the purple space in House Beautiful. such a gorgeous color and great images you've compiled!
The perfect title for the perfectly adorable purple themed house.
What amuses me is whenever I find something that says "tiny" house/apartment whatever….its always twice the size of the house I live in now, with 2 sisters, and my parents!
I agree though, its rather beautifully decorated!
I'm not a huge fan of purple but all these rooms are gorgeous! thanks for helping me 'see' purple a bit differently!
