‘I would suggest using purple quite boldly especially for curtains and either use the same tone or use different shades for accessories such as cushions and upholstery. You can often add in other quite strong color details with purple too such as yellow.’

Decorating with purple
Decorating with purple offers huge potential for creating all sorts of looks within interior design – the key to using it as a room color idea, say interior designers, is finding the right shade for the atmosphere you want to create as well as thinking about the light levels and orientation of the room. For those looking to make a statement, vibrant jewel tones and rich damson shades are guaranteed to bring a sense of drama to a dining room, or an exciting color pop to a kitchen.
‘Often associated with royalty and tradition, purple is perfect for adding drama and character to a room. Saturated shades envelop a room, so consider introducing the rich hue into a space that benefits from natural light to create an intriguing interplay of light and dark,’ suggests Helen Shaw, UK director of Benjamin Moore.
Alternatively gentle lavender and heather shades, which conjure the beauty of nature, are perfect for relaxing spaces. Bringing a touch of color without overwhelming a room, these delicate purples make a great backdrop for decorating with colorful furniture, homewares and artwork.
‘Purple can be a bold and impactful color to use in your home and as such, it has gone in and out of fashion over the years. Choosing a lighter shade means that the color is much less dominating and allows you to play with other colors in your space,’ explains John Dison, founder of Earthborn.
Create a cozy atmosphere with dark purple
Decorating with dark purples can be a wonderful choice for a cozy living room or cozy bedroom as the deep tones help bring walls in to create a cocooning feel. However, that doesn’t mean rich purples can’t be used to create more fresh and uplifting looks explains color expert and creator of Chalk paint, Annie Sloan.
‘Despite its richness Tyrian Plum (pictured) is not just for winter months; deep purple pairs beautifully with navy blue and an be lifted depending on the season with cornflower blues, soft pinks and whites for a flattering all-year-round look.’
Balance bold purples with softer colors
Using dark purple on all four walls is a bold look – for a purple living room idea that’s easier to live with why not pair rich purples with more restful colors? Here Neptune’s deep Clove shade, used on the bottom half of the wall, helps to ground the space, while the Sage shade used above keeps it feeling calm.
‘Not so brown that it resembles our Walnut or Fine Mahogany, but also not so purple as our Juniper paint, this shade is enveloping and velvety without being overpowering,’ says Rebecca Elderfield, product and service creative director at Neptune.
‘It can be contrasted with the fresh Silver Birch, or paired with Old Rose and Moss for subtle balance, or even combined with stronger hues like Olive and Mustard for a hint of eccentricity.’
