Are You Inspired By Grey's and Purple's?

I recently did a show unit for a project and decided to use a little bit of grey’s and purple’s. I really love this palette anyway, so using them was an easy choice. It really is becoming a big color format for 2010. The thing I love about them is how calming and relaxing they are, but how much impact they can give as well. Just like fashion this color combination is seen on the runway as well in home decor. Even if you are not a fan of this palette, maybe using just a decorative vase, cushion, throw, napkins to name a few as a little inspiration into this wonderful color combo.

I have some pictures of my own, (okay I know not perfect, and I am NOT a photographer). So below you will see what I have used with this combination along with some inspirational pictures that I hope you find stimulating.
