Placing a Bet on Purple

I have seen a profusion of aubergine,
plum, eggplant and violet
 walking down the runway for the
Fall 2013 season...

 and now it's trickling down 
to interiors.

It's not one of my favorite colors

and I don't think I could make a 

major commitment to a sofa 

or wall paint, 

but they seem to be using it differently

 from the past.

I love it paired up with khaki, greys and black.

And the really vibrant gem green

is interesting.

 These colors are

getting coverage and I think they

work as accents in an interior.

 

This is a great look from

Traditions Linens

I have a deep purple in

my Otomi Pillow Collection and lots of

folks admire it, but can't seem

to pull the trigger.

US OPEN 

We shall see what develops with

this trend.
