Gosh, I hate to be the “I told you so” girl. Wait, no I don’t. I LOVE being her. Anyway, I predicted it, okay? Purple is rolling back into your lives on the everywhere scale.
Here is the thing about purple that I have learned; for people who love it, it never goes out of style. They are the purple people, and they started their love affair with it long ago in a land of Polly Pockets and My Little Ponies. F’real. It is a magical colour to many.
I just finished shooting two completely different interiors featuring all manner of purple, amethyst and plum. Both successful, in my eyes, because they were heartily layered with creamy and smoky neutrals. It is the colour of royalty and in the right dose can definitely up the glamour quotient. The amethyst bookends that I found for one room were so intolerably chic that I have since dreamed about them.

But listen up, purple people! Just because you can finally get your hands on anything you want in the colour of magic does not mean that everything you want should be purple.
Ya dig? Keep it chic, keep it simple. Always, always, keep it dreamy.
