Color Crush: Lilac

   Not everyone's color crush is a citrus shade tending this season. Some prefer to stay with softer tones. Lilac is a wonderful color that works beautifully in a soft neutral palette.  Shown is Sherwin Williams 6835 Euphoric Lilac.

 Designer Guild's fabric Cabriole/ Heather blends shades of lilac with cream and metallic accents.
 Soft lilac walls with pale green linen covered sofa and chairs, white trim and silver toned metal tables.

 A table lamp is a great place to use your color crush as an accent.

  2. My mother painted her bedroom lilac...a bold move for the time and for her, but she loved it. She did this in the early 60's and it stayed that way until she passed away in the early 80's. Proof postiive that if you love it...go for it.
