October is the month for purple!

Purple, for me, is indulgent, glamorous, glitzy and the perfect colour to cosy into as winter is, apparently, closing in. Sparkly things, candles, deep colours and glamorous accessories in purple, black and silver make a purely luxurious atmosphere.

I’m ready for the winter months with these deep, relaxing colours, in fact - all that snow can just come and get me...what a perfect thought, cosied up around a log fire with my mug of hot chocolate being hugged by my big purple sofa watching the snow fall by my window....oh... hang on, is that the Cadbury advert? Well....you all know what I mean.

So today, Inspired by purple and all its wintery heart-warming glory and chocolatyness, I have selected my five favourite purple accessories for this season. If Choloateyness is not a word, by the way, it should be.

Purple Stag wallpaper from NEXT - £15 for 10m roll

Dream Purple Velvet Sofa range from Graham & Green From £495 

Coming soon at OurGreenRoom - Kotiin Wall Art piece - from £59.00

 LSA Omega Rose Purple Glass Vase from HEAL's - £62

John Lewis Romilly Ceiling light - £105.00

Obviousy its not best to over-do the purple - you don't want your room to end up like Ribena land. Maybe pick one or two things and focus the rest of your room with black and silver.

Keep watching this space to get details on the new purple section launching at OurGreenRoom at the end of October 2011

Over and out for today :) 

Bespoke Wall Art - Our Speciality!

A bespoke piece recently commissioned by a client through OurGreenRoom - charged at £129 including delivery.

Whilst we spend lots of time dedicated to choosing the very best fabrics for our bi-annual collections - It’s always interesting and fun when someone contacts us for a bespoke project, especially when a lot can be left to the imagination. Recently we were contacted to create a large wall art piece in 39 x 39” in purple, green and cream. An unlikely combination of colours you might think – so did we! But with the extensive portfolio of fabulous and always interesting fabrics available to us, the perfect choice is never too far away.

For this particular project we used a Marimekko fabric, and surprisingly there were a few to choose from in this palette, but our clients choice was a stunning large scale botanical designed by Aino-Maija Metsola called Kylmänkukka. It’s refreshing large scale purple and green splashes of watercolor ooze into the room bringing tranquility and calm whist remaining bright and uplifting.

The final project was charged at only £129 (pictured), so not too far away from the prices you find in our current OurGreenRoom collection. Why not stand out from the crowd and contact us to create a piece just for you. Anything is possible!
