MAY 2021 - AMETHYST

Here we are in May already! May is named for the Roman goddess Maia, who oversaw the growth of plants. it's pretty perfect, since this is the time of year where the world starts to fill with vibrant colors, courtesy of nature. it's those bright and brilliant colors that have inspired us for the Color of the Month for May: Amethyst!

Room, Kitchen, and Front door painted Amethyst

Amethyst is a gorgeous shade of purple that reminds us of all the pretty purple flowers we see popping up at this time of year. As we get a little closer to summer, it's also likely that you'll start to see shades of purple in the gorgeous sunsets as the days get longer. it's a color that feels truly luxe and rich, which isn't a coincidence, since it's often associated with royalty.

Office, living room, and bathroom painted Amethyst

The amethyst stone is truly special and it's no wonder it's so popular as a gemstone and a healing crystal. it's considered the most powerful and protective stone, and is known for its cleansing and protecting properties. it's also said to enhance intuition, calm the spirit and protects us from nightmares and insomnia.

it's this blend of calming energy and power that makes amethyst such a great color for any space. it's perfect for any room that's designed for people to gather in, since it's vibrancy can stimulate lively conversation while also making people feel comfortable and relaxed. When using amethyst in your room, it's important to think about how you want to use the space. If you want it to feel a bit more relaxed and casual, try pairing it with softer neutrals like light gray or natural wood tones. For something that feels a bit more formal, go with darker tones, like dark gray, slate, and darker wood. If you really want things to pop, mix in elements of light green or mustard yellow to keep things exciting and energetic!

If you want to use amethyst on the outside of your home, look for a shade of purple with more of a gray base-this still gives you a cool pop of color but adds a more natural, earthy element that helps it blend in a bit more.
