Colour company Pantone claims that its 2022 colour of the year is a shade of blue, but most people see purple. In this lookbook, we round up six interiors from around the world that are definitely purple.
Described by Pantone as a “periwinkle blue,” the colour of the year – called Veri Peri – marries the “constancy” of traditional blue with the “energy and excitement” of red, according to the colour brand.
However, Dezeen opinion writer Michelle Ogundehin argues that the colour is actually a shade of purple. Here, we have collected projects in which designers added statement sofas, bright tiles, and plush carpets in various purple hues to the interiors, demonstrating the striking colour’s versatility.
This is the latest roundup in our Dezeen Lookbooks series that provide visual inspiration for designers and design enthusiasts. Previous lookbooks include domestic gyms, interiors that feature Danish design and kindergartens that pop with colour.
