Here are 10 style items that will add a spark to your décor – and maybe even your love life.

Violet is the new red

Previous Slide A violet upholstered chair Next Slide

Imbuing an ultra-romantic motif, a hand carved 18th century bedstead sits next to a vintage mirrored dressing table. The floor is clad in plush wool carpet instead of traditional wood, and wide crown molding borders the room edges.

Bing: Violet Décor

The sumptuous lavender chenille fabric for the dressing table chair was selected because it was warm, soft, and inviting. “The furniture pieces were chosen based on the juxtaposition of modern and classic styles—for a Ying and Yang approach,” explains Warren Sheets, president of Warren Sheets Design Inc. a San Francisco firm which specializes in high interior design for hotels and residences
