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

Purple and white bedroom (same colour as PP above), with lilac duvet and lots of purple pillows and through. Bright prints of women - a geisha, Frida Khalo etc

Pale greyish lilac bedroom, but proper purple for the living room chimneybreast walls.
Also purple stripy garden fences.
I like colours and I get to choose colours. I have no completely white rooms, they all have colours somewhere.

Lilac in the small bedroom (it was DD room when she was little , lilac and pink )

It needs repainted but there's too much stuff in there

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

Oh that would be like living in a giant box of Milk Tray.
No purple flowers in the garden strangely .

But ...at least it isn't grey !

That Damson Mousse is a gorgeous colour

Used to have a purple bedroom. It was quite dark but lovely and cosy.

Yes, an aubergine guest room. The house is a Victorian villa so saturated but “dirty” (rather than jewel) colours suit it.

Meadowfinch · 02/08/2024 15:18

Not yet. I'm about to paint my hall, stairs and landing aubergine and cream though. 🤗

OnionBudgie · 02/08/2024 15:19

Yes, lounge/diner has a deep purple carpet with a purple floral design wallpaper. The spare bedroom is painted pale lilac. Purple is my favourite colour!

You’d hate my house, every single wall is white. I do add colours in with furniture, accessories. For me it works but it’s obvs not for everyone

Yes, our kitchen walls are a light heather (with navy and white cupboards). We've had so many compliments on it - I thought everyone would hate it!

My 6yo dd's bedroom is the same colour as Monica's apartment in friends. She picked it, but I actually really love it. Her room is north facing, and it's the only colour we've had in there that's really warmed the room up.

Deep purple and grey bathroom. Dulux heartwood in stair and hall. I love purple.

Twistybranch · 02/08/2024 16:17

No but the nicest bathroom I’ve ever seen was a pale lilac with pale pistachio highlights. It was the 90s but I still rem it

TheTempest · 02/08/2024 16:18

My living room is purple, for the next few days until we move anyway!

queenofthewild · 02/08/2024 16:19

We had Dulux Soft Cinnabar in our old living room. A beautiful soft plummy aubergine colour.

Fimbledore · 02/08/2024 16:21

My bedroom is pressed thistle.

I'm not a big purple fan but our spare room is quite dark and shady so a cool lilac works well, iris pallida from Victory.

Wellfuckmesideways · 02/08/2024 16:23

I do, I call it the Premier Inn room 😂

Starlightstarbright3 · 02/08/2024 16:25

I have a purple feature wall with grey in my lounge .

Giggorata · 02/08/2024 16:28

I love purple but I have never been able to make it work as a colour for walls, despite preferring deep or jewel colours.

I have a very dark blue colour washed room, including ceiling, which I love, and a dark red room full of bookshelves.

Diversion · 02/08/2024 16:31

I also have a purple bedroom. Johnstone's Dark Angel, I love it.
