Purple

Purple bedding was once only used by royalty. After all, purple is the color that symbolizes all things royal. Then, years later the color scheme of purple, ranging from deepest darkest purple to the palest of lavenders, could only be found in brothels or grandma’s house. But, today all that has changed. Just as red found its way to our walls, purple has wandered into our bedrooms. Dark purple bedding is mostly used in formal bedroom setting, while the lightest lavenders are used for adults, teens, children and nurseries.

The good news is that this fall the reigning color for clothing, home decor, and even bedding is purple! Every shade from deep dark amethyst to lilac and lavender will be found in abundance during the fall of 2011 and the winter or 2012. It’s time to break the mold and maybe with tradition. Treat your family like royalty with purple bedding for every age.

First adapted to the modern bedroom by interior decorators striving for a new look and being readily accepted by those with sophistication who dared to be different, purple is now matched up with pinks, lavenders, crimson reds, peach and coral — and of course, whatever color you choose. Some of us definitely prefer to use our dark purple bedding with sage or light greens. The color palette is available to anyone who dares to decorate according to his or her tastes, rather than convention.

Teens have fallen for purple bedding in a variety of designs. Whether the teenager selects the daring purple zebra print bedding or chooses the more subtle tie-dyed purple daybed bedding, there is a selection that every young girl will find appealing.

Purple baby crib bedding has become a favorite for the nursery. Usually lighter shades are selected, either in plum or shades of lavender. However, the patterns and designs are so varied that the expectant mom who wants to use her favorite color in the nursery will have sufficient selections to find one that is just right for her little princess.
