Could a man live with a purple room? The answer is yes of course, provided it's the right purple in the right room. This living room was designed by Anne Marie Midy and Jorge Almada and photographed by Simon Upton in 2011. They used a beautiful dusky shade of purple that is a perfect choice to paint a space either a man or woman could live in. I would imagine on some days this color looks more gray than purple which is why it works so well with the neutral colors it's paired with. The room is also full of large scale furniture and accessories in shades of gray and white which makes it feel more masculine but the pillows and accessories in multiple shades of purple and magenta give it a feminine touch. It's a beautiful room with lots of special touches that include:
The huge, carved, mirror over the fireplace
The ottoman that seats 8 people or serves as a coffee table,
The gray and white checkerboard area rug,
The lighted arched bookshelves,
The floor to ceiling curtains that blend in with the wall,
The cove ceiling,
The pops of magenta throughout the room,
The extra long purple velvet sofa.

I've been thinking of different colors to paint my home office.
This shade of purple is giving me food for thought.
What colors is your home office?
