Purple Reign

Common design knowledge dictates that when a trend rears its head in the fashion world, home decor will soon follow. And, since all of the fashion magazines have been trumpeting a royal hue for the past few seasons, I do believe we’re about to enter into a purple reign, so to speak. This is a good thing. Purple happens to be my favourite colour (feminine without being saccharine; bold without being grandiose) and apparently I’m not alone. There’s even an online retailer dedicated to all things purple! Check out the finds below for a few of my favourite purple picks:

I love red. Is there an online retailer dedicated to all things red?

A childhood friend of mine once painted her whole room (ceiling included)a deep depressing purple and to this day I can't stand purple on a wall but love it in accessories!

Do you have any suggestions on mixing purple walls with walnut harwood floor?  Just the thought of it sounds bad doesn't it?
