Rich and strong, the deep royal tone of a true purple is not one that seems to be currently in favor in rooms other than young girl's bedrooms.

The trick to using this color is subtlety and a light hand. Used in layers of varying tones and saturation, with white or black as punctuation, imperial purple can be sophisticated, dramatic and beautiful.

Today's library has a bit more whimsy with a rag rug and fun paintings setting the color story. A healthy dose of black and a bit of silver and this seating area is a cozy place to sip some tea and settle in with a great book.

Does your room need a “prescription” for a change of decor, function or design? If so please contact me, I would love to help your room feel better with a Room Rx.

you know, i am not a purple person, but we got the new land of nod catalog yesterday and they have amazing new bedding in purple that had me thinking..... then you post this! :) i like it!
I know I say this every week, but you are SO talented at creating these boards! I seriously want whatever room you come up with! I was wondering what your inspiration piece was for this one, art is my guess!
You've balanced it all so well - purple could be frightening to some but you've made it look like something anyone would want to be a part of in this room. I love the swing arm sconces and all of the textures you've brought in with the table, the basket, the books, the pillows, rug.
What a soothing and romantic room. I'd love to curl up with a good book in a space like this.
Cathy I adore this color palette, images and inspiration boards!! Gorgeous!

I have always been a fan of this regal hue but in clothing. Rarely does one see it in decor but it would be quite stunning. I love the rug you have picked and the accessories and the artwork is simply stunning!
My daughter is into purple now. I think it is because of Justin Bieber.
