Couture Colours....Glam Style

Get ready to include some brighter colour alternatives and hot hues for summer.

 

From soft pastel shades of rose to the downright outrageous , deep fuchsia purples are dominating bedroom and living themes this summer.

 

Echoing the international catwalks flirty ruffles and fashionista finery are also big for 2010 with bedding and lounge accessories capturing couture flair and crafty tailoring.

 

The Colour Purple

Lovers of the colour purple are often artists and are quite often cultured, sensitive and tasteful people.  A colour union between red an blue, a true mid purple reads as quite a cool colour and it causes a similar physiological effect as the colour blue which lowers blood pressure and pulse rates and acts as an appetite suppressant.  Purple certainly has links with the mystical world, lovers of the occult are drawn to the colour purple and when used in interior decorating purple can create quite a spiritual feel. In the western world, purple is also the colour of nobility.

 

Purple works extremely well with green which is definitely a colour of the moment.  This coolness offsets the heaviness of the colour purple which makes this a very contemporary colour palette.Partner these colours with crisp white to make a real statement.

 

This vintage fashion and dressmaker style with bold purple accents and earthy greens has heavily influenced the current Vast Interior textile collection now in stores.  Plenty of purple haze with metallic finishes for a touch of global glam!
