The colour purple, love it or loath it?Either way it's making a comeback!

Updated: Jan 4, 2022


It's a colour of royalty, prestige, luxury, power, ambition. It's also a colour often found in nature: fruits, vegetables, and flowers.So why does it divide us so harshly in our opinion of it?


A mix of the warmest and coolest colour.

Stepping away from the 80's execution of purple, brings fresh new forms of it. From more modern - technology forward influences such as the work of Wieran to almost brown and bruise like hues that can be found in Abigail Aherns paint collection.

Used as an accent or a base, lighter purple can create a relaxing space - often used in beauty products to emit notions of cleansing and enlightenment. Darker and earthier tones have an air of mystery and creativity, perfect for those of us drawn to darker decor.


Dark and Earthy

Light and Bright


From lavender and lilac to plum and aubergine, purple has made a contemporary come back and I have to say I've come round to it.
