One of the best ways to make sure you love spending time in your home is to decorate with your favourite colours in mind. Each morning when you get up and each night before you go to bed, you’ll feel comfortable surrounded by something that comforts you.

This crepe paper flower decor is a great way to combine your favourite colour, happy little blossoms, and your favourite quote! Silver looks bright and exciting against a purple backdrop. I Wear a Bow shows you how it’s done.
3. Creative purple Christmas decor
Christmas is the perfect time for decorative bowls set on side tables. It’s one of the easiest decor methods out there, but it instantly reminds people of Christmas bobbles hung on trees. That doesn’t mean, however, that you have to choose traditional Christmas colours. Try going with your gut and setting out cheerful purple Christmas decor like Minimalisti did here!
4. Purple DIY string ball lights
Have you ever seen large hanging string balls used for simple decor, or single large string balls made into pendant lights? This is the same idea, only shrunk down small enough to fit along a string of little white lights. Using purple string or painting the finished ball purple creates a pretty purple glow when the light shines through. Destination Femme guides you through the process.
5. Purple DIY owl pillow
Technically you could make this little owl pillow in any colour or fabric pattern, but we’re more than a little partial to purple. Look how cute the big cartoon eyes are! Sarah Beth shows you how to do it step by step.
6. Purple DIY tufted headboard
Transforming your bed into a purple haven is one of the most obvious and most comforting ways to incorporate the colour into your bedroom’s decor scheme. We absolutely adore how Stagetecture did it with this tufted purple headboard! Talk about a statement piece.
7. Purple loft bed with book cases
If you’re a handy wood worker then this bookcase loft bed is the perfect canvas for some purple in your room! People will take notice of it right away, and they’ll be impressed when you tell them you made it. Check out how it’s done on Ana White.
8. Purple painted wall stripes
If you love purple that much, you might as well really commit to it! Sayeh Pezeshki did so by taking the colour scheme right to the walls. These straight, eye catching purple lines are created by using tape to ensure that you paint a clean edge, then peeling it off carefully once everything has dried completely.
9. Purple glitter duct tape DIY light switch covers
Okay, so technically these particular sparkly light covers by The Crafty Blog Stalker are made with pink glitter tape, but we couldn’t resist including them because they’d look so adorable if you did it in purple! This project is quick and easy and lets you incorporated your favourite colour as a subtle but fun accent in case things like a completely purple bed aren’t your style.
10. DIY purple ottoman from a coffee table
Space for the Creative walks you through the complete process of upcycling and old coffee table into a plush, tufted ottoman. It makes a great central piece in your main room and it’s also a nice example of your DIY skills.
11. Purple stenciled dresser sideboards
Are you more interested in subtle pops of purple rather than completely purple-washing your entire space? Creative Green Living has another awesome idea for you! Check out how they made over the side runners of each dresser drawer for a secret little visual experience.
12. Purple children’s dress-up armoire
Do your kids absolutely adore playing dress up? Is their play room full of bright colours in every corner? They’ll love this bright purple costume armoire by About Family Crafts! It’s a great upcycling project for you and also totally easy to make.
13. Purple ranunculus paper flower wreath
We love this wreath concept by Elli because it lets you include all different shades of your favourite colour in one place! We also adore how each little spiral looks, especially if you make them all different sizes like this one.
14. Purple flower yarn and nails wall art
Creme de la Craft suggests taking a pretty purple spin on classic nail and string art. Making a flower, for example, lets you choose two different shades of purple for the petals. Check out their tutorial to see how this wall art is made!
15. Purple stenciled tea light table lamp
