THE COLOR PURPLE
The color purple is really hot now days. Yes it is. It's splashed all over the design magazines and TV shows, it's the "it" color at this very moment. Purple has always been by oldest daughter's favorite color.
Now I am not afraid of color and never have been. Bright reds, greens of all shades I can work with and it will not look like a Christmas scheme. I love the challenge of making bold colors work in spaces. I never feel the urge to plaster or cover everything in whites, tans and beiges, never have. When I enter a home on a Consult I make every possible effort to work with the existing color scheme unless it is very dirty or dingy and not salvagable.
I must confess that Purple and Pink scare the living daylights out of me. They take me back to many former house hunts where I ran across the purple and mauve color scheme. This color would cower me in fright and indecision. I absolutely hated it and was very vocal about it to anyone who would listen. When I think purple, I think Barney The Dinosaur.....yea let's not go there!
Recently though, I have seen some really exceptional use of the color purple in Staging. It gives me pause and makes me think there is hope for me yet. I just need to get over it and take the plunge. So I thought it would be really great to see some examples from any fellow Stagers out there who are using this color and how. I recently saw a blog where the color purple was worked in through dining room chairs. Absolutely beautiful.
So it is my hope that any of you fine Stagers out there that are using this very trendy color will post some of your examples to inspire those like me who are chicken. Either Redesign or Staging examples would be great. Also, I would like to know if this color is getting good reviews from clients both Redesign and Staging.
Happy fun and safe Halloween!
