Dear Jessica,
I love purple! I want to use it in my home, but I am not sure how to add it into my design scheme.
Hailey S., Greensboro

Dear Hailey,
Purple is an emerging color we will be seeing more and more. As the saying goes, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” When trying to incorporate an accent color, less is frequently more. A touch of color can have a big impact.

Sharing information is a huge part of interior design. As a new feature for my column I will occasionally highlight products that I like or that are unique or that serve a special purpose. If you have a product you find particularly special or unique or you have been wondering about, send it my way — I’d love to hear about it and possibly do a column about it.
