My husband and I just purchased this Martha Stewart Bloomery rug* in lilac for our new home, and at first I was quite concerned that I was taking a too-bold step for our main living area. Thankfully, Decor 8 recently featured a few pages from talented interior designer Amanda Nisbet's online portfolio and I was happy to see that she is using lovely lavender and lilac accents in her work.
Lilac is such a soothing color and it has actually worked quite well for our color palette. Try adding a touch of this tranquil tone to your own home or office to create a peaceful, yet uplifting, atmosphere.

Lavender/lilac is a gorgeous color. Good tip to use more of it in decorating.
Beautiful inspiration board! & pretty rug. I can't wait to see how you decorate with it. btw-I am coveting that cuff from anthro!
i love lilac and grey together - like that lilac chair you show on your board plus a warm grey cashmere throw - so inviting!
I love lavender and cocoa together!
