Colors That Go With Purple: An Interior Designer’s Guide
Gretty Garcia
Architecture
La Muralla Roja is a stunning housing project located within the La Manzanera development in Spain’s Calpe region. It incorporates clear references to the popular architecture of the Arab Mediterranean Area, which is a result of the architects’ fascination with the tradition of the casbah. The striking hues in this project work with a myriad of colors that go with purple, including a range of pinks and blues that cover the outer and inner facades. Another space is the interior of the Hangzhou V+ Lounge, which serves as the brand’s third branch in China. Designed together by Studio Waffles and LYCS Architecture, the concept of the sixth floor is dubbed the infinite West Lake. Seamlessly connected with reflective material, the space is simple, yet dynamic, and culls inspiration from a water metaphor. The whole space flows like a “delicate curve left by a tiny boat cut through the West Lake.” Highly-reflective materials and flexible ribbon-like trail in from scattering lights near the corridor to create one a space of epic fluidity and beauty.

Interior Design
Fenton & Fenton is a cutting-edge interiors concept launched by Lucy Fenton. Inspired by Fenton’s experiences traveling around the world, she offers a unique perspective anchored by mixing and matching statement accoutrements to stand-out effect. Renowned for bringing “color, texture, pattern, energy, and flair” into homes and bringing spaces to life, this space is a prime example. Everything from the pink flower motifs to the abstract art and honeycomb-inspired rug fuse colors that go with purple into a room that exudes elegance and eccentricity.
