Purple and Green Inspiration

My inspiration for today comes from this beautiful piece of fabric in a bluish lavender color and muted pastel greens and neutrals. It has an exquisite floral pattern that combines colors to create a gorgeous palette. The overall effect is one of serenity and tranquility, these colors create a peaceful and safe haven.

Let’s take a look at some rooms that incorporate this basic color theme so you can see how this color palette can take shape within your own home.

This first room is a perfect example of the color scheme of the fabric above at work. The color is put together beautifully with an arrangement of antique furniture. You can see how well different tones of purple and green work together to create a harmonious environment.

Next we have the same color scheme at work in a contemporary environment.  The main colors of pastel purple, pastel green and whites working together to create harmony and take the edge of rigid hard straight lines, lending some softness to a modern look.

This color scheme is put to work in an outdoor environment with the veranda painted in lavender blue and white blending in perfectly with the natural greens of the plants and grass.
