Reliable Colors for Your Home: PURPLE

Read the sequence from the top before cutting, painting, or moving pieces.

It’s time for the latest edition of The Color Files! Today, we’re taking a look at a vivid jewel tone that, unfortunately, often takes a beating in the design world. Seriously, how many times have you heard someone mock a giant purple sofa or lament about the shade of purple on the walls before a makeover? The reality is that purple can  be a difficult color to work with, but if done right, purple can be a royal hue that looks memorable. I’m excited to share some striking examples of just how good purple can be when it’s perfectly done. Enjoy!
