Lilac is the New Black

Ok, not really...but it really has become a super popular color in design.  I tend not to be drawn to purple decor but lilac and lavender are two shades of purple I have definitely started to like a bit.  (Don't worry, my daughter and mother-in-law make up for me in the "loving all purple" department!)

I must say that the lilac and aqua, and the lilac and orange color combinations are gorgeous - such bold pairings that truly pay off!  My favorite use of purple would be in the final photo above...a little gray, a little white, a little black, a fiddle leaf fig tree, a little lavender...how could you possibly go wrong?

What do you think of purple?  Or lilac?  Or lavender?  Any takers?
