Currently as well as historically, the color purple evokes an aura of royalty, mystique, power, wealth and magic.
Purple reigns supreme, as togas in rich shades were worn by all the powerful Roman Emperors and it was a favorite color of Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt. Spiritually, it reflects pure thoughts and symbolizes intelligence and creativity.
The U.S. Military awards the Purple Hear, a decoration given to soldiers wounded in battle to recognize bravery. 
Several hues of the purple palette include grape, lavender, lilac, orchid, plum and aubergine.
Purple commands the eye to take notice and is prevalent in home interiors today. Using softer tones as a backdrop or as an accent color brings a regal air of beauty and harmony to any decor.

Metallic finishes are the new bling this year, whether its silver patented strappy shoes from Manolo Blahnik, bronzy shiny totes from Yves Saint Laurent or retro inspired mirrored glass dressers, shine has resurfaced with a vengeance back into our closets and home fashion.
Gold conveys the symbolism of wealth, many of the world’s finest sculptures are derived from bronze, and silver outshining them all, emanates a sleek and modern appearance.
Metallic is majestic in all facets of our every day surroundings.
The glitz and glamour of the silver screen era is depicted in our art deco inspired Camden striped wallpaper, the latest development in dimensional wallcovering from Jaima Brown Home. This subtle shimmering wallcovering adds luxury and panache to any room.

Red creates the perfect accent for any space when paired with timeless neutrals like brown or cream.
In the 18th century red garlands and scarves were part of cultural wedding ceremonies. Chinese brides wore a traditional Kwa; a heavily embroidered formal wedding gown in red and Greek brides wore red veils, which is still customary today.
In ancient history, wearing a red painted amulet, ruby or garnet supposedly made one invincible. Red signifies love, fertility, strength, good fortune, and happiness. We often see red front doors on the outside of homes across America, instilling the influence of Feng Shui.
