Purple bedroom feng shui

Purple is a deep Fire tone, historically linked with the Wealth area and with a sense of the noble and spiritual.

Short answer

Purple belongs to the Fire element. In a bedroom, it’s traditionally best as an accent rather than on all four walls. Lavender and heather tones for larger areas; deep aubergine as an accent.

Balancing a purple bedroom

Fire is fed by Wood and tempered by Earth. To soften a strong purple, add earth: ceramics, stones or crystals, sand and ochre tones, low square forms. To support it, add wood: healthy plants, natural wood, green or teal textiles, vertical stripes.

Where to use it

By the Black Hat bagua, fire belongs to Fame & Reputation. Accents in those areas of the room are the most traditional placement. See the full fire element guide.
