Purple Done Properly: 6 Violet Objects Worth Owning
Purple has a taste problem, and it isn't the color's fault. The shade turns up mostly on children's products and novelty gifts, so decent violet objects are genuinely hard to find.
The ones that work tend to be deep rather than bright: plum, boysenberry, aubergine. Here are six that sit on the right side of that line.
The edit
Artisan Stand Mixer · KitchenAid
Boysenberry is the deepest finish KitchenAid makes. It looks expensive against brass hardware and slightly off against chrome, so check your kitchen first.

Knotted Cushion · Uvvyui
A dusty purple knot cushion at around $26. The knit texture stops the color reading as flat, which is what usually goes wrong with purple textiles.

Hydroponic Glass Vase · VanEnjoy
Stacked glass in a soft pink-violet, roughly $13. Cheap enough to buy two and see how they look together.
