Violet inspiration

Violet is a very spiritual colour which encourages creativity and offers serenity.

Violet has always had strong connections to royalty and riches. Historically, it was once an expensive pigment to create, produced by the Romans from a type of sea snail. Reminiscent of rich ethnic fabrics and the robes of royalty, violet is the perfect colour to create a feeling of luxury in your home.

Violet is very versatile and can move from being strong and bold to feminine and understated.

For a soft effect try using subtle lilacs which are perfect for creating romantic bedrooms. Pale violets will open up any space so can be used as a delicate alternative to blue in bathrooms and small spaces.

Deep, rich plums will add drama to any room but work particularly well in dining rooms and living spaces as a bold feature.
