Two purple shades give this living room a vibrant feeling. Neutral upholstered furniture balances the lively walls. Airy white sheers pop against the purple and complement the black and white artwork.

A soft shade of plum is less-jarring than some other shades of purple and just right for an elegant bedroom. Limit the shade to the walls only and balance it with all-white bedding, black-and-white-patterned curtains, and a chic mirrored night stand.

Red paint brings life to a kitchen and is a sophisticated choice when combined with neutrals and sleek stainless steel appliances. Highlight an accent wall with this deep shade of red or be brave and coat all four walls.

Rich burgundy walls, combined with dark wood tones, create a warm, enveloping mood. A patterned rug and decorative pillows in coordinating shades reinforce the color scheme. The light-colored sofa stands out against the deeper colors and keeps the room from feeling too dark.

Mixing a few shades of purple may be intimidating, but this dining room shows how successful the look can be. Choose a medium color for the walls, a darker shade for the trim, and a light lavender color as an accent. In this room, the lightest shade was used to emphasize the artwork above the fireplace.

The purple wall color in this kitchen has a bluish cast, that's contrasted with warm wood tones. A shaggy rug beneath the kitchen table defines the eating area. White ceilings are a smart choice for people who are concerned that dark paint will make their room seem smaller.

Dusty mauve is a great shade for a bathroom. Vintage touches, such as the tin ceiling and claw-foot bathtub, lend an old-world feel. Crisp, white molding, sheer curtains, and the silver mirror brighten the space.

A stark white headboard is beautiful against the bold fuchsia paint in this modern bedroom. Colorful floral bedding picks up the wall color and introduces a few more hues -- bright orange, baby pink, and a purplish blue. Unframed artwork above the bed is a delicate balance of feminine and contemporary.
This wine-inspired color is warm and rich. The unique wood storage system looks great with the purple and adds a vintage feel. The gray floor is a nice complement to the deep purple.
Chic purple helps give this living room a stylish vibe. The cream-colored drapes and neutral couch are soft and inviting. The decorative pillow and cozy throw are a few shades darker than the wall color--your accessories don't have to be a perfect match.
