Derived from the Old French word “lavandre” meaning “to wash”, lavender in its essence cleanses the soul. This is because of its calming properties. Lavender is a flower that portrays grace and balance. In its floral form it is considered the symbol for love at first sight. It also denotes meaning of purity and devotion. This flower is often used for its essential oil, which can be diffused to create your home’s atmosphere to feel more peaceful. Studies show that the power of meditation is 10 times greater in ultra-violet lighting, because the color promotes balance.
In its color form, it can be soothing to look at, even peaceful when used in your home. The color lavender is often used because of its spa-like and relaxing nature. This is a great color to put in a bathroom or bedroom, because that is often where you want to feel most relaxed in a home. This color pairs well with grays and aqua, so there is a lot of room to be playful when using this color in your design scheme.
Something good about using this color in your design plan is that lavender can be a warm tone or a cool tone depending on the shade you get. Lavender is being called the “new neutral” so step outside your box of tans and add this color in your home!
