Gray and Purple Bedrooms

Purple, the color of magic, mystery, royalty, spirituality and good judgement.

Purple is the combination of both blue and red, the blue creates and expansive and calming energy while the red creates an active, focused and dynamic energy.

Purple brings a new dynamic to the activity of red and the expansion of blue. Red brings practicality to the undirected expansiveness of the blue, and allows more creative energy to emerge, which is why purple is associated with inspiration and imagination.

Gray is a truly neutral color, one that invokes a deep sense of rest. Mixing gray with a more vibrant color like purple, mutes its vibration creating a stabilizing effect.

So in bedroom design, the combination of purple and gray gives you a calming, soothing, restful space that is also focused, creative and full of magic!
