This vibrant hue calls to mind musical icons like Jimi Hendrix and David Bowie. Perhaps purple is most notably showcased through the artist and icon, Prince. It is a color directly tied to him when in 2017, Pantone unveiled a new purple color, Love Symbol #2, in his name, a true princely color.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14385\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14385\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14385 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Featured-2.jpg\" alt=\"Source: Korosheh\" width=\"600\" height=\"490\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14385\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/korosheh.com\/images\/13\/pantone-ultra-violet.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Korosheh<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Every December, the design world waits expectantly to observe the unveiling of Pantone\u2019s Color of The Year. This year, Pantone curated Ultra Violet, a complex and contemplative shade of purple reminiscent of Prince\u2019s Purple Rain. This dramatically provocative hue \u201csuggests the mysteries of the cosmos, the intrigue of what lies ahead, and the discoveries beyond where we are now\u201d.\u201d As a color, purple combines the calming stability of blue and the fiery energy of red. Often used in reiki and meditative spaces, Ultra Violet is associated with the seventh chakra, the crown chakra, considered the body\u2019s connection to spiritual awareness and the gateway to the cosmic self and universal consciousness. Ultraviolet, as a color, is full of intricacies.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14385\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14385\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14385 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/1A.jpg\" alt=\"Source: Deavita\" width=\"600\" height=\"490\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14385\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Deavita<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It is easy to speak of Ultra Violet in the abstract, weaving an image of everything this color represents and emulates. In life, application proves to be a much less romantic reality. Purple, when considering the endless spectrum of colors for use in everyday life, is a much more difficult hue to work with than its complimentary or contrastive cousins. I would like to share with you a few easy ways to introduce this cosmic color into your home.<\/p>\n<h2>Nature Inspired<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14385\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14385\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14385 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/NI1.jpg\" alt=\"Source: PinsDaddy\" width=\"600\" height=\"490\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14385\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspca.org\/sites\/default\/files\/field\/image\/plants\/purple-passison-vine_facebook.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">PinsDaddy<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I am a huge advocate for plants in the home. Their beauty brings a bit of nature inside but this vibrant vegetation has many more benefits than just looking pretty. Plants help reduce stress and create a feeling of well-being. They improve air quality, lower background noise and increase humidity in the home. Did you know that research has shown that people are more productive, happier, and healthier in plant rich environments? Beautiful and good for your health? Sign me up!

I remember being greeted by a small cluster of them every time I visited my grandmother\u2019s garden. She later gifted me with my own violet that lives on in my collection at home. I am also quite fond of the purple oxalis with its pinwheel foliage and wealth of starry blossoms. This plant is an exciting addition indoors where you can watch its leaves close at night and open in the morning. Finally, the spiderwort plant, a vine plant friendly for both interior and exterior use, is easily identified by its dark purple maroon coloring found on either the bottom or entirety of its leaves, depending on varietal. Purple plants shockingly please.<\/p>\n<h2>Fresh Florals<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14385\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14385\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14385 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FF1.jpg\" alt=\"Source: Observator\" width=\"600\" height=\"490\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14385\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/img.inin.ro\/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fobservator.tv%2Fuploads%2Fmodules%2Fnews%2F0%2F2018%2F1%2F1%2F236660%2F15148190690c04d5ec.jpg%3Ft%3D1&amp;w=840\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Observator<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Keeping fresh cut florals is probably one of my must-have splurges each week, as there is something romantic and inviting about a bouquet of blooms gracing the kitchen island or entry table.

I find that thoughtful lighting or paint can create a sanctuary for meditation and mindful practice. I would recommend this type of application be utilized in an open floor space with lots of natural lighting or, contrastively, none at all. Both choices will give the desired effect of a sacred space; one bright and energetic, the other dark and calming.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14385\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14385\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14385 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/SS3.jpg\" alt=\"Source: DesignBuzz, K\u00f3nya Hajnalka Design, Dava Muramatsu, Shutterly Fabulous\" width=\"600\" height=\"490\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14385\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designbuzz.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/idee-decor-ultra-violet-06.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">DesignBuzz<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homeideas.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/nappali2-mer.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">K\u00f3nya Hajnalka Design<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/davamuramatsu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Purple-byzantine-church.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Dava Muramatsu<\/a>, Shutterly Fabulous<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Paint creates an impactful change, ultimately altering the vibe of a space so it can be a little nerve-wracking to take the leap.
