Purple in Tween and Teen Bedrooms


Even though Honeysuckle and Turquoise are extremly popular colors right now, I am still drawn to purple for a tween or teen rooms.  Purple is not as "girlie" as pink yet it still enables you to hold onto a little bit of femininity in your tween or teen's bedroom.

Purple is the color of royalty, purple is luxurious, purple, when used right, is sofisticated and purple can make a wonderfully understated room look amazing. 

Purple is a unique color, being an almost equal combination of both a warm and a cool color (red and blue), it can be combined with either warm or cool colors, or both, or used on its own in a room and still look lovely.  And purple has enough sofistication that it is not only great for a baby's room, but it can make a fun, whimsical and sofisticated tween or teen room. 

I love the look of this purple room.  The shag rug and pillows keep the room feeling young and would be the perfect place for your tweens/teens to have gab sessions after school.

This mod bedroom is whimsical and shows how purple, combined with cool colors, can look both fresh and sophisticated.

This purple and white room looks clean and shows a great way to use fun color in a small space. 

I love this room and it does a great job showing how purple, when combined with warm colors, can feel inviting and luxurious.

Have you incorporated purple into your tween or teen's bedroom?
