Let’s Do Purples – Coordinating Your Bedroom Linens

So, You Love Purple?

So do we! The key is not overdo a strong color, yet have it appear to be the focus color of your room. By using a combination of lighter hues and a few bolder complementary colors, you can achieve tremendous success.

Let’s take a look John Robshaw’s Lahuti bedding collection. Look how he is using subtle hues of the main color and adding one or two pieces for impact? Also, by bringing in a bright piece from another color actually enhances the focus color you love.

Always think about combining a myriad of textures and patterns – some soft, some bold. Don’t be afraid to throw things on, pull them off, and play until you get ‘your look’. Remember, a room is a painting. Step back and view the room as a whole, step in and look at individual pieces.

There are no hard fast rules in design, and ideas are literally endless. It’s all about balance and how the room makes you feel.

When you have trouble and nothing turns out right, here is our tip:

Remove absolutely everything from the room. Add your favorite piece. Then another one. And, another one. The moment you are unhappy, back up. Try something else. Just because you have a ton of things you would like in the room, doesn’t mean they will all work together.

The old adage? Most times, less is more.
