apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I think I've found the new colors for my bedroom....

uuuggghhhh i despise red & purple together... i don't know what it is

no no NO!
Yuk! What is this? Superman's boudoir?

Not super crazy about that color combination but something else that is brilliant; all of the elements of the room are neutral, floor, counter, shelves. How easy it is to completely change the look of the store by simply painting the wall a different color and changing the curtains. That I love.

meant all of the elements of the room THAT are neutral...

That really is unpleasant, looks like something out a bad mafia movie.

wow....last time I saw this color combo was on King John in disney's version of robin hood...if you're going to do this, do it all the way, where are my piles of gold? where are my jewel encrusted gargoyles????

This combo makes me anxious....and purple is my favourite colour.

Are the curtains making the walls look more blue than plum, or is it just my monitor (or the camera)?

It's not quite doing it for me, but I'm going to assume it looks a lot better in person.

I like that owl on the top shelf.

I guess I'm in the minority here, but...

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!

I was wondering about the walls being called plum, too. I always think of plum as being a more reddish-purple.

Anyway, digging the name of the store.

The 'plum' looks more like a cobalt blue or royal purple. I also think of plum as being more of a reddish purple. That particular shade of red is not deep enough to make this really as luscious as it could be (though perhaps this is just my monitor and/or the photographs themselves). I do like the shapes of the pure white objects in front of that blue, though.

Hm. I think you can count me in the minority of folks who like this, too, though perhaps I have a forgiving (and/or deceitful) monitor.

I just want to smell Urban Lilly...

I didn't notice the color combination so much as the what on earth is going on. Oh it is a perfume store. This still leaves me with a feeling of why.

I love it.

Wasn't the old color scheme mint/red? It was a odd mix but I liked it better. Am I tripping? I like purple but not this purple. I'm guessing they were going for Phoenician/ "royal purple" to go with their Cleopatra inspiration but something about it is such a miss. Maybe because I liked the old colors I (possibly imagined?) before.
