2 –Show your creative side with purple patterns from Norwich Sunblinds

A print is a great way to showcase your love of the colour purple and adds a creative touch to your interior design. Choose from bold floral patterns or modern prints, abstract or traditional, where purple is the dominant colour. A print on a lighter background will really standout, helping to ensure that your chosen fabric has maximum impact. Prints work especially well on curtains. At Norwich Sunblinds we offer quality made to measure curtains with free measuring and fitting. Our knowledgeable team can also help you find coordinating curtain tie-backs and curtain poles.

3 – The good mixer: Add a touch of purple

If you don’t want to go the whole hog, try fabrics featuring Ultra Violet or shades of purple as part of a pattern design or in a subtle single tone. Choose the colour as an accent rather than as the dominant shade. Purple tones mix well with neutrals, which help subdue the colour. On the other hand, you could also look for a striking contrast such as greens, pinks and blues. Purple is a good mixer, works well with other colours, try teaming your curtains or blinds with matching accessories to create a coordinated look.

This versatile colour is not room specific, is ideal for living room or bedroom curtains, or blinds for the bathroom, office and kitchen. Need inspiration? Speak to the friendly team at Norwich Sunblinds, we can suggest colour schemes that work for your home. We can also help you decide on the best curtains, shutters or blinds – roller blinds, pleated blinds, roman blinds, panel blinds or venetian blinds – for your chosen room.

4 – Futuristic or Traditional shades of purple?

Make an impact with your choice of fabric design and colour shade. When you think of faraway galaxies and space, a vibrant tone of purple springs to mind. Whereas a deep opulent shade combined with sumptuous fabrics has a traditional almost regal feel, especially when seen in curtains with a luxury drape.

Give your décor a futuristic or traditional look with our wide selection of fabrics and designs.

For example, a simple yet stylish purple venetian blind on a white wall creates a contemporary minimalist look:
