The color purple is popping up everywhere these days, so why not try a little “pop” of your own?
For some, the idea of purple paint is too overwhelming. That is completely understandable…afterall, decorating with purple is not for the faint of heart.
Try thinking out of the box. Throw a little purple pillow on your couch as an unexpected accent, or use purple paint to wow guests in your main-floor bath.
Decorating with purple is a sure-fire way to start the year off with a bang!
Check out the way purple is used in these inspiration rooms – and if you decide to try it out in your own home, send along photos!

Here is a variety of purple paint you can try at home – courtesy of the January issue of Real Simple magazine. (Click on the image for a better view!) Remember that when decorating with purple, the best way to keep the color from looking overwhelmingly eccentric is to pair it with neutrals or complimentary colors of a more “earthy” palate.
