Do you have a purple room in your house?

Love the colour but I feel like this has to one of the least used colours in a house.

Lol, no I don't but I have been toying with the idea of a purple room. Moving home soon so we shall see....

Yes we have a stunning sort of deep grape library.

pikkumyy77 · 02/08/2024 13:52

But all the colours in the house are saturated: cobalt front room opens to deep purple library opens to mango walled dining room which is open to the kitchen which is white with red oven/red painted cupboards.

Sounds lovely @pikkumyy77

I can't stretch to a library, but can do you a purple bedroom. Not easy to see with the light as it was, but the window wall is a pale lilac and the blinds a deep purple.

I used to have a purple hallway. I love purple.

Legacyloops · 02/08/2024 14:12

Yep purple bedroom, heart wood Dulux colour. Everywhere else pretty neutral in my house

Chasingsquirrels · 02/08/2024 14:13

Lilac walls in the lounge, but very pale. Aubergine & light & dark grey patterned sofa and Aubergine curtains and lightshades.

This is an old listing, but jumped to mind when I read your post ...

My bedroom is a medium lilac (I'd like it to be more purple, but it's quite a dark room and I'm worried a deeper colour would make it even darker)

Sunnycolours · 02/08/2024 14:34

our downstairs wc is purple (farrow and ball brassica) on the panelling - so just lower half of the room and the door. Grey ( Elephants breath) on the top. Sounds so wankie 😂

MonsteraMama · 02/08/2024 14:35

My brother does. His son loves Prince and requested a purple bedroom. I actually really like it!

NImumconfused · 02/08/2024 14:36

Two purple bedrooms in our house, mine and my daughter's.

I had painted my dining room a deep purple, kind of aubergine colour before I repainted it after about 7 years. I miss it, actually. I may paint it again.

Butterflyfern · 02/08/2024 14:37

No.

To me plum and deep purple remind me of 2005-ish. They were the 'it' colours back then, along with Moroccan styling. I think when a colour has been so dominant for a while, it takes a long time to come back into fashion.

Cloakroom is Dulux "Cocoa pod". It is 50/50 brown and purple to me, very neutral and calming color.

Aquamarine1029 · 02/08/2024 14:38

I absolutely LOVE a deep purple front door.

AlwaysGinPlease · 02/08/2024 14:50

I loathe purple so no, nothing purple in my house at all

WetBandits · 02/08/2024 14:56

I don’t like true purple, so none in my house! My Mum’s bathroom walls are a pale, grey-toned lilac, which I do actually quite like.

Meadowwild · 02/08/2024 14:58

Yes, it's a deep smoky amethyst. I love it and people always comment on how gorgeous it is. Favourite room in the house.

Growlybear83 · 02/08/2024 14:58

I have a lilac coloured room, which I love. When I first met my husband, when I was 18, I was very impressed that he had a deep purple coloured bedroom.

That sounds gorgeous. Going to look it up right now.

Ariela · 02/08/2024 14:58

Yes, our spare bedroom/office is a deep lilac, we have yellow files etc on the shelves to compliment.

Trainham · 02/08/2024 15:00

Yep purple bedroom and lightish purple in lounge and few purple tiles amonst white ones in kitchen and purple accessories. 💜
