professor plum in the drawing room.

i loved playing ‘clue’ as a kid. definitely an all-time favorite board game. and when i saw some of these interiors that’s what came to mind, ‘professor plum in the drawing room, with the candlestick!’. i do hope to goodness you know what i’m talking about. anyhow, i digress. i really loved these rich, plum colored rooms. shades of pale purple, eggplant and mauve mixed with soft hues of gray, and pale green they make a very soothing, and yet bold and dramatic statement. take a look.

    Is it weird that I am sincerely enjoying the photos of the bathrooms more than all the rest? Maybe it’s a clue I need a night to indulge in relaxing. Great round-up!

    Beautiful rooms! Love the dark purple shade – it makes purple so much more refined.

    I have a deep plum bedroom but I sure don’t have a magenta rug! It’s, alas, only orange. All the warm and cool plums make me tingle. Thank you!
