19. Deep Plum Matte Wardrobe with Antique Bronze Pulls
Introduction and What This Idea Means
Deep plum and eggplant shades offer an exceptionally rich, regal alternative to standard blacks and grays. A wardrobe finished in a flat matte plum hue paired with antiqued bronze hardware creates a moody, deeply sophisticated boudoir atmosphere.
How to Make It
Build wardrobe boxes and cabinet doors with classic raised panel profiles. Coat the exterior in a rich, velvety matte plum paint. Mount heavy, hand-finished antique bronze pull handles and matching hinges onto every door and drawer front.
Tips
Pair your plum wardrobe with warm, ambient bedroom lighting—such as amber bedside lamps—to bring out the rich undertones of the purple hue.
Variations and Essentials
- Variations: Add a subtle antiqued glaze over the plum paint to highlight the carved details of the raised panels.
- Essentials: Raised-panel cabinet doors, matte plum paint, antique bronze cabinet pulls, wood primer.
