BEAUTY: Interiors--Purple Design

I love the work of Purple Design, an architectural and interior design firm based in London. I especially love their fearless use of dark colors to evoke a slinky, smoldering sense of luxury. How do they convince their clients to go with such dark colors and lush materials? Trust me, most folks are not open to such color schemes and ambiance...I know from experience. I would love to have clients who are open to rooms that look like these! Particularly inspiring are the intricate stone tile walls in the bathroom in the fourth image, and the marvelous gold leather high-backed banquettes in the kitchen, sixth image down. Wow.
