Aubergine and Deep Plum


From fashion to interior design, aubergine and deep plum are an elegant, sophisticated, and chic trend this fall. A gorgeous choice for the walls of a dining room, bedroom, powder room, study, anywhere! Not ready to commit to a whole room? Try a sofa, silk taffeta or velvet curtains, a leather ottoman, or a ceiling. Be on the lookout for a great piece in aubergine or plum to add to your wardrobe. Have you seen Betsey Johnson's new tiered skirt/petticoat in plum-to die for!

  4. Aubergine has always been my favorite color. When I was 4, I insisted my father paint my bedroom deep purple...I've loved it ever since! Love these photos.

  16. Jill-Maybe if your husband doesn't like purple for a whole room you could introduce a piece here and there-a lampshade, an ottoman, pillows, etc.
