Purple, anyone?

Last year I took a color psychology class and learned a lot about what different effects colors can have on a person and a space.  I enjoyed it so much I'm going to start doing some posts on what the colors mean and make you feel like!  Some are quite interesting.

Purple might be most definitely is my favorite color on the color wheel.  Sitting directly opposite of yellow, purple is the perfect color to make you feel at peace.  Since it's character foil is yellow, which exudes energy and makes you want to go-go-go, peace and serenity is only fitting for the personality of purple.  If asked what color I would be on the color wheel, I would not answer purple, for  I'm a go-go-go personality like yellow.  Purple just happens to make me smile the most.   Having lots of purple in my wardrobe and my bedroom is soothing to me (:  It's on the cool side of the color wheel, so it will automatically make walls recede and help the space appear bigger.  Oh and here's the fun part: it's the color of royalty.  Yes, it will make you feel like a princess instantly.  And, really, who doesn't want that?!

{Elle Decor} Just little touches found in a throw or pillows or artwork is a simple way to bring a touch of royalty to the space.

{Elle Decor} Simply fabulous.  You realllyyy gotta like purple to live in this space! It may be a bit much even for me, but it's still a thoughtfully designed, well executed design.  The touches of cream and pink, as well as the light pouring in those beautiful windows, helps balance the purple that's coming in at a high dose in this living room.  I love the combination of shades of the color, too!  The sheer architectural features in this room are enough to get me.

Do you like it in a small dose, or are you going big?  What color would you like to know about next?! 

{PS. Does anyone watch The Bachelor?? Gotta admit it's my guilty pleasure (: }
