COLOR WATCH: LILAC BEDS!


Who knew? A trend may be underway...lilac beds? Never had thought about this light shade of purple as an option for a bed or headboard...but it seems that most stylish in the design community are onto this lilac bed trend (namely posh New York interior designers Katie Ridder, Christina Murphy and Amanda Nisbet have all used these lavender like beds in their designs)!

I like it actually...a light purple bed. A lilac bed. Paired with white, light grey or a neutral wall behind it and some simple mostly white bedding, I'm thinking a lilac bed kind of works! Modern but romantic...perfect for a guest room or master suite.  Design for thought...

Room & Board - Ella Bed - $1399 (Queen upholstered bed in lilac colored fabric. Metal legs) (above)


Crate & Barrel - Colette Bed in Lilac - $1699 (Queen bed with light purple linen upholstery and nailhead trim)



What do you think of these lilac beds?  Take them or leave them? If you would take a lilac bed, where might it go in your abode?

Happy Tuesday!

Well, I love them. I would have one in my master bedroom that we are in the process of adding on to our home. I am doing polished concrete floors with flowing white curtains, a mix of sleek and rustic so I think a lilac bed would fit the bill. I already have a very large silver/grey one though that I love. Maybe in my next life:)

Isn't it funny....lilac seems to be EVERYWHERE! I never would have thought of it either, but I kind of like it!

LOVE!!
I actually just used lilac to cover a cow head in my living room. And would totally do our bed- except the husband would never go for it.

I'm actually really happy to see this. I have these lilac Thomas Paul pillows on the bed, with mostly white bedding, and grey and lilac touches here and there in the room. I'd been wondering if I'd gone off the deep end with that color, but I love it so much!

Great Gallery! It's quite lovely. Lilac is a colour that creates instant tranquility.. I love it paired with golds and navy.

Best, Vie

Considering that lilac is one of my favorite colors, I HAVE to say love it. But I would like to see it in a lacquered lilac headboard... now we are talking! Great post!
