www.womanthismonth.com February 2022 71 LIFESTYLE | home Need some much-needed zen in your life? Introducing purple into your home is certainly a good starting point. If you do activities such as yoga in your living room, then purple walls may help aid that relaxation you intend to achieve. “Purple is the colour of well-being and spirituality”, says Momtaz. “On one hand, it conjures up magic and fantasy, and on the other, it encourages meditation and is a colour often associated with wellbeing practices like yoga. It’s a colour that connects with our intuition and gives us inner strength so it has a positive effect on ourselves and our relationships with others.” It’s not just about all wall colours - purple home furnishings will do the trick as well. Speaking about the best ways to accessorise with purple, Momtaz says: “Purple cushions are great for snuggling up on the sofa after a long day as they’ll comfort you while giving the room a contemporary stylish feel. A soft velvet throw strewn on your bed will also add instant luxe to your bedroom, while a vase of purple flowers in the kitchen and bathroom will promote positive energy whenever you encounter them.” What other home colour trends can we expect to see in 2022? Finally, predicting the other interior colour trends to come in 2022, Momtaz says: “Yellow is the complementary colour of purple, and as we’ll be seeing a lot of purple coming through in interiors, we’ll also see a lot of yellow items so that the two can be styled together. Yellow is a colour that promotes optimism and positivity and this energy will also compliment the healing powers of purples. You should also keep a look out for peacock palettes too.” Loved this?
