How to wear lavender
A lavender piece looks good with jeans or white or gray pants. With sage green or soft yellow you get a springtime look. For shoes, white, nude and silver are safe. For the office, pair it with navy or charcoal.
Lavender in home decor
Lavender is ideal for bedrooms and bathrooms because of its relaxing effect. Pair it with white, light gray and light wood. Sage green or soft mustard throw pillows balance it. Dried flowers and linen play up a French country style.
Lavender in graphic and web design
Lavender is a soft background for wellness, skincare or sleep brands. Use dark purple or charcoal text on it; for an accent, try a soft yellow.
What to avoid
Avoid pairing it with intense oranges or reds, because lavender loses its softness. With dark brown it can look gloomy.
