The color purple pops in any space. Add it to your bedroom to enjoy increased warmth and vibrancy in the room. Double the effect by pairing it with silver and enjoy the elegance the shimmery nature of the metallic brings to the space. There are countless ways in which to incorporate both silver and purple hues in the bedroom. Some involve using furniture; others capitalize on accessories and accents. Whichever decor angle you choose should be guided by your style signature. Let your personality shine through the colors and choice of furnishings in order to have a truly personalized room.
Excellent places to use purple in the room include walls, floor rugs, curtains and bedding. When your accessories are bright, keep your furniture neutral to balance things. Natural wood and metallic pieces create a beautiful contrast against bright purple accents. The alternative is to use purple furniture while keeping most of the bedroom accessories silver. Being the largest piece of furniture in the room, the bed is the first item to let your purple glamor shine through. It may not be practical to paint the bed in purple. However, a purple headboard will bring out the magic you’re looking to create. A purple border on the nightstands or bedside tables will create the continuity needed to give harmony. If you have enough space for a chaise longue or chair, choose one that is upholstered in purple.
Silver accessories add elegance to the bedroom. Choose your drapes in a shimmering or sheer silver hue to extend the chic effect to the windows. Use of silver wallpaper is another great way of incorporating silver in the room. If you’ve already used plenty of vibrant patterns in the room, keep your wallpaper and curtains plain and simple to tone down the busy look. On the other hand, if most of the furnishing is plain, you can choose a patterned design for your window and wall coverings. Using brass knobs and handles on your dresser, chest of drawers, wardrobe and bookshelf if you have one in the bedroom will add subtle touches of silver to the furniture. This is a great way to give your furniture a silver finish without trying too hard.
Omit using additional colors in the bedroom as this will detract from the purple-silver theme. A purple and silver bedroom looks magical without other colors popping up from subtle and not-so-subtle places. You can have either of the two colors being dominant or you can choose to use both in a balanced way such that they both have an equal intensity. This means your bedroom furniture should not be painted in bright colors or the many colors in the room will be confusing to the eye.
Bring the magic of silver and purple into your bedroom by redoing your decor to create a purple and silver bedroom. Use silver accessories to balance out the brightness of purple furnishings and furniture. Alternatively, use purple accessories to add color to a largely neutral, silver decor.
