Did you know the famous blue walls in Van Gogh's bedroom were originally painted purple?

Painted in 1888 during his time at the Yellow House in Arles, France, this iconic piece was meant to capture a feeling of total rest. Vincent wanted the colors to do all the work, telling his brother Theo that the painting should soothe the mind and imagination.

The vibrant scarlet blanket and rich yellow furniture still pop, but time has played a trick on us. The original lilac walls have actually faded to blue due to pigment changes over the years! He loved this domestic sanctuary so much that he painted three distinct versions of it during one of his most productive periods.

In today's fast-paced world, we could all use a personal space that radiates this kind of intentional peace and simple comfort. It beautifully reminds us to cherish and cultivate our own restful sanctuaries at home.
