Purple Haze

In case you didn’t know, purple and brown is the new blue and brown. Be sure to write that down. You can use it at cocktail parties to impress your friends. Leaving the brown out of things for now, let’s take a look at the new blue of the duo – purple.

Is it everywhere yet? Not quite. It still looks really fresh. And, despite my humor, I really do like it. Various shades of purple look great with brown, pastel yellow, soft pinks, and gray. A little tip: when selecting color combinations, cool tones go with cool and warm with warm.

You can add purple to your life with accessories, wallpaper and paint (the least expensive option). If you’re ready to completely embrace a trend, accent furniture is a good choice. Just be aware that trends come and go. So don’t invest in a trend unless you can either afford to replace it, or you love it so much wild horses couldn’t drag you off your violent violet sofa.
