High-Stakes, High-Impact Home Decorating: Introducing the Bold 'Cosmic Purple' Color Trend
Take a moment to look around. What hues does your gaze land on? You might be in your living room, looking at beige walls and gray furniture. Or you could be at a coffee shop, noticing green counters and brown decor. But I'm willing to bet that wherever you are, there's not much deep, electrifying purple like our June Color Crush: Cosmic Purple.
Dare I say, decorating with purple is no walk in the park. It takes guts, admits Dmitrii Mironov of design studio KIDZ. And our chosen shade—a bold, otherworldly, and enchanting Cosmic Purple—is no exception.
"Cosmic Purple strolls the fine line between opulence and overwhelm," says Dmitrii. But if you manage to navigate that line skillfully, the results are nothing short of spectacular, demonstrating a design finesse that only a few can achieve. Interested? Keep reading....
We're understandably enthralled by the captivating qualities of Cosmic Purple, this mesmerizing color trend. "It's both powerful and soothing," says Dmitrii Mironov. But it's not just the allure that draws us in. According to interior designer Iwetta Ullenboom, "Purple is a powerful color brimming with symbolism—from the mystical and magical to the spiritual, even sacred. It evokes a sense of mystery and depth, which contributes to its charm."
Though Cosmic Purple boasts a cornucopia of appealing qualities, it's not an easy color to apply in design. The trick, says Iwetta, is to be thoughtful. Some might hesitate at the thought of a full purple sofa, but you can strategize with smaller details—an armchair, a side table, or even artwork—to get the job done. "Sometimes, a single pop of color is all a space needs to feel revitalized," she suggests.
Benjamin Moore's color marketing manager Arianna Barone concurs. "If you're uncertain about bringing this color into a room, try using it in smaller doses like painted furniture, accent walls, or even smaller spaces. Just ensure that all design elements work together to create the look you're striving for."
But if the shade truly speaks to you, why hold back? Dive deep and drench a space in Cosmic Purple. Particularly bedrooms, lounges, or reading nooks can benefit from its calming yet bold nature, experts say.
Of course, pairing it with the right lighting scheme is crucial in making these rooms feel enveloping yet expansive, says Dmitrii.
When it comes to working with Cosmic Purple, keep in mind what works well with purple. Given its intensity, it calls for balance—which can be achieved by combining it with soft colors or neutral materials.
"Cosmic Purple looks fantastic with natural materials like light wood, creamy tones, and natural stone," adds Iwetta. If you're after a celestial vibe, pair it with cool metallics. For a richer depth, opt for brass or muted gold. Layer it with other deep shades like brown, black, or dark gray to create a moody and luxurious ambiance.
Cosmic Purple is indeed a high-risk, high-reward color. Its appeal lies in its 'star of the show' quality, says Iwetta. "Eyes are naturally drawn to it." When handled wisely, those glances are sure to be filled with admiration.
Whether you opt for a bold statement at home or a delicate hint of color, one thing remains certain: incorporating Cosmic Purple into your decor will result in nothing less than a mesmerizing transformation.
