How to match this color to your interior?
Very Peri purple, not unlike the lavender fields of the Valensole plateau and Provence in general, goes particularly well with all shades of green.

In a less bucolic but more vintage (very 70's) style, you can also pair purple with touches of orange.
Sounds too bold? Go for a minimalist style by pairing this purple with white or gray.

If you love gray and have painted your living room in that color, know that adding a few purple accessories is enough to energize the decor. For example, you can add purple pillows to a light gray sofa...
Also note that neutral shades like white and beige can soften a decoration in purple tones. This is a very simple solution to adopt this color at home without risking a taste mistake.
