Gentle Purple

Gentle PurpleThere was a time when purple was a “hated hue.” The color exists barely in nature and yet people used to show a strong dislike for the color because it was linked to death. Purple was used to represent the color for mourning. In some countries, it was considered disrespectful and unlucky to wear purple if you are not attending a funeral. In Thailand, for example, widows would always wear purple while mourning the death of their spouse. At one point, purple was called the “color of evil” and was frequently associated with forbidden and unnatural magic.

However, today things have changed and purple now represents royalty, wisdom, pride, creativity and grandeur. The theme of the color is to always stay strong and keep moving ahead. This is the reason why experts recommend parents to add purple to their kids’ rooms.

In a psychological sense, purple is said to have a calming effect on both the mind and body, therefore putting kids in the right place for introspection and focused insight. Another beneficial effect of purple on the human brain is that it fosters creativity. Purple could therefore be a great addition to kids’ rooms as it can enlighten, inspire, uplift and encourage them.

If you want to remodel and transform your kid’s old and outdated room into a serene kid getaway, choosing gentle purple could be a great option.

Here is the statement of Campbell Minister of Decorated Interiors:

“Parents hear purple and may cringe. However, there are some lovely tones that will stand the test of time as a child ages.”
