French term or phrase: par touches
La signalétique violette couleur du luxe dixit son créateur, se mélange par touches aux meubles aux meubles blancs...

Are there matching bits of violet on the white furniture so that it is is all well coordinated?

Thanks for your help

English translation:touches of violet
Explanation:
the white furniture is enhanced by the designer's hallmark touches of violet, a colour that he/she assimilates with luxury

something along these lines ... I doubt if it's actually on the white furniture but in this rendering it doesn't matter

Thank you very much for your help. As an aside, the signalétique was signage.
