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.

BobandRobertaSmith · 02/08/2024 15:16

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.

Lessstressedhemum · 02/08/2024 16:15

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.
