Fargerike who is Norway’s largest paint and home improvement retailing company announced the color of the year for the Norwegian market yesterday, and as a nice surprise the color was purple.
Personally I think there is a lot of lovely shades of purple and I´m really happy that we will see more of this color in the time to come both in interior, but also in fashion and food – if we can believe Fargerike´s predictions.
Being a combination of red and blue, the warmest and coolest colors, purple is believed to be the ideal color. It is said that if you surround yourself with purple you will have peace of mind, and that sounds perfect to me *smile*
What do you think about purple? Any favorite shades that you think you would use in your home?
You can see Fargerike´s catalogue in PDF with lots of wonderful purple inspiration here.

Hi, it is good idea about this color, I don´t think about that till now, I prefer very soft purple 🙂 Catalogue is very nice, full of inspiration for using this color.
I’m crazy bout colour as you will see on my blog, if you take a look. But purple I’m not too keen on to tell you the truth. Who knows, my purple days will come in the future, haha. Happy weekend! Chantal | formsandfinds.com
Purple is one of the most sensuous hues! And I think it’s sexy:-) happy weekend!
Love purple, in almost any shade. Thanks for posting this trend.
I love dark purple and Fargerike has beautiful wall papers with this collection.
Happy weekend

I never used to like it but I just painted a feature wall in my bedroom in aubergine so I must be feeling it now! 😉 Happy weekend!
Nydelige bilder Nina! Her går jo lilla igjen i hele huset så årets farge var midt i blinken for meg:-) Riktig god helg til deg og dine.
Selv om jeg er fortsatt på grønn liker jeg Grå Aubergine veldig godt. Men den er jo nydelig sammen med grønn så kanskje det kommer litt lilla i huset igjen;) Blir uansett veldig inspirert av disse bildene!
Jeg er veldig glad i lilla. Mye pga av jenta mi som jeg synes kler lilla så godt. Lite lilla i interiøret da men…
Ha en flott kveld!
