"Two tiny wings, eyes big and yellow..." If you just sang that in your head, you’re our kind of person! Figment, the lovable purple dragon from EPCOT’s Journey into Imagination, has been a symbol of creativity and "one little spark" for decades. Whether you’re a lifelong fan of the original 1983 attraction or you simply can’t get enough of his quirky personality and vibrant color palette, there’s no reason to leave that magic at the park gates.
At Disney Best Life, we believe your home should be a reflection of the things that make you smile. Bringing Figment into your daily life isn’t just about decor; it’s about inviting a sense of wonder and imagination into every room.
From subtle color schemes to full-blown DIY projects, here are 15 purple dragon-inspired ideas to help you live your best Disney life at home.
1. The "Imagination" Color Palette
The easiest way to start your Figment-inspired transformation is with his iconic colors: Royal Purple and Sunset Orange. You don’t need to paint every wall (unless you want to!), but incorporating these hues through curtains, rugs, or even a statement armchair can instantly evoke that EPCOT vibe. Think of the purple as your sophisticated base and the orange as the "spark" of energy that ties the room together.
2. A Dedicated "Imagination Nook"
We all need a place to dream, write, or create. Set up a small creative corner with a comfortable chair, a purple side table, and a few Figment collectibles. This is the perfect spot for your morning coffee while you plan your next Disney trip or work on your latest hobby.
3. Figment Gallery Wall
Mix and match your love for the purple dragon with abstract art. You can find incredible Figment-themed prints on the Disney Store or from independent artists. Look for the EPCOT Imagination Matted Print by Eric Tan for a high-end, mid-century modern look that fits perfectly in a grown-up living room.
4. "One Little Spark" Scent-scaping
Did you know that scent is one of the strongest triggers for memory? The Journey into Imagination ride famously features the scent of orange gardens. You can recreate this at home using citrus-scented candles or essential oil diffusers. It’s a subtle way to feel like you’re walking through the Imagination Pavilion every time you walk through your front door.
5. Kitchen Coffee Station Magic
Start your day with a literal spark. Create a dedicated coffee station with purple and orange mugs. If you're looking for a general way to celebrate those park memories, our Making Core Memories Mug is the perfect companion for your morning brew. Add a small Figment figurine or a purple tray to complete the look.
6. DIY Figment Planters
For the crafty Disney fan, grab a few terracotta pots and some acrylic paint. Paint the base a deep purple and add two small orange triangles for horns. These are perfect for succulents or small indoor plants. It’s a fun, budget-friendly project that brings a bit of nature and a lot of magic to your windowsill.
7. The Subtle Bathroom Refresh
You don’t have to go overboard to make an impact. Swap out your standard bath towels for plush purple ones and add a few orange accessories, like a soap dispenser or a candle. It’s a "stealth Disney" move that looks stylish to guests but feels like a secret nod to Figment for you.
8. Figment-Inspired Bedding
Turn your bedroom into a sanctuary of dreams. Use a purple duvet cover and layer it with orange accent pillows. For a literal touch of magic, look for a Figment plush to rest on the bed. The Figment Squishmallows Plush (available at the Disney Store) is exceptionally soft and adds a whimsical touch to any sleep space.
9. Upcycled "Imagination" Furniture
Do you have an old nightstand or bookshelf that needs some love? Sand it down and give it a fresh coat of purple paint. You can even use gold or orange hardware to represent Figment’s horns and the lightbulbs of inspiration. It’s a great way to give new life to old pieces while staying on-brand for your Disney-themed home.
10. DIY Figment Ornaments
Why wait for the holidays? You can create small Figment-inspired ornaments using clear plastic baubles filled with purple and orange glitter. Hang them in a window to catch the sunlight or save them for your Disney-themed Christmas tree.
11. Custom Wall Decals
If you’re a renter or just don't want the commitment of paint, wall decals are your best friend. Look for simple lightbulb decals or star shapes to create a "spark" trail across a wall. You can even find Figment silhouettes that are easy to apply and remove.
12. Figment Table Setting
Hosting a Disney-themed dinner party? Use purple cloth napkins with orange napkin rings. It’s a sophisticated way to incorporate character themes without being too "kiddy." Pair this with some ambient purple lighting, and you’ve got a magical evening ahead.
13. The Figment Journaling Station
Figment is all about the mind's eye. Keep a Figment Plush Journal on your nightstand or desk to jot down your ideas, dreams, and Disney planning notes. Keeping your "sparks" of inspiration in one place is exactly what Figment would want!
14. "Imagination" Bookshelf Styling
Interspersed between your books, place small nods to EPCOT. Think vintage cameras, lightbulbs in glass jars, and of course, a Figment plush or two. It turns a standard bookshelf into a curated journey through your favorite memories.
15. The Front Door Welcome
Greet your guests with a bit of whimsy. A purple and orange wreath or a custom doormat that says "One Little Spark" is the perfect way to signal that a Disney enthusiast lives here. It sets the tone for the rest of your magical home before anyone even steps inside.
Live Your Best Disney Life
Bringing Figment into your home is all about celebrating the joy of creativity. Whether you go big with a purple accent wall or keep it subtle with a favorite mug, the goal is to make your everyday life feel a little more like a day at EPCOT.
