Home Interiors: Purple Pleasure

Purple is a color that has always been associated with royalty. Deep hues are considered regal, signaling richness and luxury, while lighter shades are feminine and soothing. According to New York City interior designer Jamie Drake, a powerful purple piece can "add passion to a room”, and will really pop when against complementary backgrounds. No matter what your preference, purple is a versatile color that you can incorporate in any room to make a statement. Here are some photos to inspire you!
