Purple color has long been perceived by people as the most mysterious and even mystical. It is the personification of charm and beauty, it is truly a royal shade, which is often used during meditation. It relaxes and calms, stimulates creativity, and slightly reduces appetite.
When choosing this color for arranging your kitchen interior, you should think carefully about the proportions in which it should be used and what shades are best combined with. Purple is a rather capricious and capricious color that requires special treatment. To make a kitchen in similar colors look interesting, attractive, stylish and cozy, it is recommended to take professional advice from designers on its arrangement.
Kitchen in white and purple tones
Kitchens, the interior of which is made in purple tones, are often complemented with white trim. Shades of purple such as lilac and lavender go best with white. This combination looks elegant; it is best used to create an interior in one of the most delicate styles - Provence.
In white, you can decorate the countertops in the work area, the dining table (a round model is ideal), chairs around it, wallpaper and an apron. A wooden set (materials such as MDF, chipboard) made in a soft lilac color will look very beautiful in this interior.
Deep purple goes well with white shades. A similar combination of tones is often used when creating interiors in the Art Nouveau, minimalist, art deco, and hi-tech styles. In this case, it is recommended to give preference to artificial materials, in combination with glass and glossy surfaces. If desired, the purple and white interior color scheme can be diluted with silver, gray, and black shades.
Modern style
Here everything is much simpler: any combinations and the most daring solutions are at your service. Moreover, purple is a very multifaceted color and it will not be difficult to choose the right shade.
In a spacious room, a glossy lavender set with white countertops looks good. If you plan to decorate the kitchen-living room in this way, we recommend abandoning the partition in favor of a bar counter as a border. It is both fashionable and practical.
Successful move: To finish the walls, use photo wallpaper in primary colors. The print can be almost anything. The only thing is that we do not recommend placing them on the entire floor - you risk creating an interior that is too overloaded with details.
Metallic purple furniture is also suitable - especially if you are planning a high-tech kitchen. It is worth complementing it with a multi-colored apron - a bright accent in a mono-design.
Look for unusual textures and color combinations. We like this option - extraordinary relief facades and walls made of small tiles that create a three-dimensional 3D effect. Nothing complicated, but it looks cool.
Kitchen in black and purple tones
All shades of purple can be safely combined with black, but when it comes to creating a kitchen interior, you need to be careful when using such a combination. It is best to add white, beige or light gray to it. One of them must be selected as the main one.
Deep black, combined with rich purple, looks best in a spacious kitchen with good natural and artificial lighting. In a cramped room, both of these tones should be used to a minimum. It is recommended to generously dilute them with mirror, glossy and other shiny surfaces that visually enlarge any room and fill it with light and air.
These mystical and mysterious shades are most often used by designers when creating modern interiors. Purple color can be used in furniture facades, window blinds, and lamps.
Black is suitable for arranging an apron; you can also use black fittings. A black self-leveling floor interspersed with purple will look very good. As for the walls, they should be light gray, light beige or completely white.
Yellow-violet design
An interesting design will help create a combination of these colors. We recommend that you do not be afraid of its seeming excessive brightness - with a competent approach, the overall impression is very worthy.
A loft-style kitchen with yellow walls and dark purple furniture looks unusual. This type of repair is easy to do, and thanks to some details it looks amazing. Make the walls a little older, install a metal apron over the hob - don’t you agree, it’s a nice picture?
If this option seems excessive to you, use these colors as a complement. You will need to make a two-level stretch ceiling, find beautiful wallpaper and choose curtains to match. Both shades are used in sufficient quantities, but white furniture slightly softens their brightness.
A classic modern set in such a palette will also sparkle in a completely new way. Glossy fuchsia facades, sunny matte apron. There are no complicated techniques or sophisticated decor - but the room looks nice and fashionable.
Kitchen in gray and purple tones
A violet range of shades diluted with gray tones is a pleasing to the eye and harmonious combination. The classic gray color, distinguished by its nobility, emphasizes the luxury of all shades of purple. You just have to adhere to one simple rule: the darker the purple color is chosen in the interior, the more shades of gray you need to use. This rule also works the other way around.
When it comes to creating ultra-modern interiors, designers advise not to be afraid to use silver shades, and they can be present not only in the form of household appliances. An element such as an apron, all fittings, and decorative elements can be silver-gray. It is worth adding white and black tones to the overall gray-black palette.
When decorating walls, it is better to use light gray paint. One of the main walls can be made purple. Dark gray porcelain tiles are suitable as flooring. Instead of curtains, light blinds in light colors or metallic colors should be installed on the windows.
Particular attention should be paid to lighting, which should be plentiful around the perimeter of the entire kitchen. In its very center you can install a pendant chandelier in silver tones.
Advice! The more compact the kitchen space, the lighter the shades of purple used in arranging its interior should be. This rule is also suitable for kitchens with insufficient lighting.
Purple kitchen elements: nuances of execution
- purple floor tiles should be diluted with light colors, for example, beige or gray;
- It is advisable to take lilac-colored wallpaper without obsessive patterns: simple geometric patterns or a combination with other colors, for example, yellow, will look more appropriate;
- It’s up to you to decide which table and chairs to choose, but it’s better to do this after the final finishing of the room and installation of the set, since there is a risk of going too far with this color in the interior;
- The backsplash tiles can be in the form of a multi-colored mosaic, but when choosing a color you should also take into account the size of the room. If the kitchen is not spacious enough, a small pattern and dark background on the tiles will make it even smaller and gloomier;
- a furniture set for a purple interior should be as laconic in shape as possible, geometrically correct proportions and without unnecessary decorative details on the facade.
As you can see by looking at numerous photos, purple or lilac kitchens are a great idea for the interior of stylish rooms.
This could be a kitchen set or chair backs, an apron or original wall painting. Using purple in the design of the kitchen space is a bold decision. Successful combinations, for example, with the color yellow, can be selected from the corresponding photos of finished projects. You can also entrust such a task to a professional designer, or you can try to solve it yourself. In any case, we hope that our article will help you create a unique design for your kitchen.
And now we invite you to look at our selection of photos of interesting kitchen interiors, decorated in purple tones, in which you can find interesting ideas for yourself.
Kitchen in tones of green and purple
The combination of green and purple tones is a rather bold decision. By using such a combination, you can significantly enliven the interior, make it light and not boring like spring.
In this case, you should adhere to one design rule: both of these bright shades in equal proportions look harmonious if the room itself is spacious enough. In a small kitchen, the green and purple color scheme will look too colorful, intrusive and even tasteless.
It is recommended to initially decide which shade will become the background. This unusual combination is quite appropriate in Art Deco, Provence and shabby chic interiors. When arranging a classic interior, you should avoid using such a range.
If you want more elegance, the main one should be a neutral light shade. Green and purple tones can be added in bright decoration of facades, in light wallpaper patterns and textiles.
Kitchen in tones of beige and purple
A very simple and correct solution that allows you to unleash the potential of the purple color. This is a win-win combination that can be used in any interior style. You can combine beige tones with purple (pale pink, soft lilac, lavender, cream, café au lait) when it comes to the interior of the kitchen-living room.
For example, when decorating a dining area, you can use calm beige tones with a slight presence of light lilac shades. Rich purple tones are suitable for decorating a work room. One of the interior options: a beige kitchen set with lower purple facades, a café-au-lait apron, a natural wood-colored floor, light beige wallpaper (one wall can be soft purple). When choosing a dining table and chairs for it, you should pay attention to models in purple, beige and white shades.
Advice! Using more than two shades of lilac at the same time in decorating the kitchen interior is a bad decision. It is recommended to dilute this palette with neutral light tones.
Work surface and apron
The tabletop can be chosen to match the color of the facade, the color of the apron, the color of the floor or the dining table. It can also be contrasting for a purple headset, for example, white, black, yellow or orange. It is better to choose stone countertops from acrylic or artificial stone. When choosing a wooden tabletop, you should pay attention to black, beige and white wood species.
In the photo, the work surface is made of gray artificial stone, which is not afraid of hot dishes and possible cuts.
It is better not to choose a purple apron so as not to oversaturate the room. White, beige tiles, mosaics, tempered glass with photo prints, stone, brick, depending on the style of the kitchen, are suitable. Black, white, yellow, orange, red in pastel or bright shades are suitable. The combination of the color of the apron with decorative items, such as a flower pot, paintings, dishes, looks good.
Kitchen in yellow and purple tones
It is best to combine lavender tones with light yellow shades. This combination looks gentle and touching; it can be used to create a Mediterranean style, Provence and shabby chic styles.
The shades should be really very light; they can be diluted by adding some transparent and translucent textures, beige and white tones. In the interior of a yellow-violet kitchen, you should use natural materials: stone, solid wood, high-quality textiles. All surfaces should be matte, gloss should be completely abandoned.
To decorate the walls, you can use washable wallpaper with delicate patterns, or simply paint them. The dining table and chairs can be beige or yellow. The kitchen set can be decorated in light lilac tones; it will be complemented by a gray-violet-yellow ceramic mosaic apron.
Kitchen in pink and purple tones
The line between pink and purple tones is thin and illusory, so this color combination will decorate any interior. The use of such a range helps to visually enlarge the kitchen.
To unleash the full potential of pink and purple, it is recommended to decorate the kitchen in an oriental style, using purple and eggplant shades along with delicate powder and tea rose. Preference should be given to natural materials - wood, stone, ceramics.
Colorful accessories will look good in such an interior: copper dishes, porcelain figurines and bowls, decorative teapots. Dark blue or dark gray porcelain tiles are suitable for finishing the floor, and for finishing the walls you can choose washable wallpaper with a purple pattern on a lilac background.
A wonderful decoration for an oriental-style kitchen will be thin copper candlesticks, massive copper dishes on tall floor vases made of the same material. Panoramic windows should be decorated with long, light curtains made of pink silk, satin or high-quality synthetic fabric.
Kitchen in purple and blue tones
A rather extraordinary combination of shades, which cannot be used in every kitchen. Both colors are rich and dark, so a room in these tones can look a little gloomy. Besides, blue and purple don't go well together.
The exception is light blue in combination with lavender. This option is suitable for arranging a kitchen in the style of shabby chic, Provence, Mediterranean and Scandinavian style. At the same time, designers advise adding a few other tones - white, light gray, beige are perfect.
Interior design option: natural wood flooring in a natural shade (laminate can be used), lavender furniture, gray natural stone countertops, blue dining table and chairs, pale blue walls. Windows can be decorated with delicate curtains or curtains with floral patterns in lilac and blue tones.
Wall decoration and color
Suitable finishing materials include plaster, paint, tiles in the area of the sink and hob, as well as wallpaper. For plaster and paint, it is important to level the walls, while minor surface defects can be hidden under vinyl and non-woven wallpaper.
For a small kitchen, all light colors (white, light gray, beige in any shade), wallpaper with a small pattern are suitable. For a large kitchen, you can choose wallpaper with wide stripes and a geometric pattern on a light background. Here you can make an accent wall using panels or 3D wallpaper.
The photo shows a modern kitchen with white and purple photo wallpaper to match the color of the facades of the kitchen unit.
If the set is dark or deep purple, then the wallpaper should be light; if the furniture is lilac, violet or another light shade, then the walls can be gray, white and even dark, if the area allows and there is enough natural and artificial lighting.
Arrangement of a small kitchen in purple tones
Designers advise choosing an interior option that has a purple bottom (for example, facades, floors, the lower half of the walls) and a light top. You can also make the floor brown and choose light-colored pieces of furniture for the room.
The rich purple color looks very self-sufficient; it is ideal for spacious rooms, but not suitable for small rooms. However, there is a way out of the situation - you just need to use its lightest and most delicate shades, harmoniously combining them with white and beige tones. Glossy and glass surfaces will help add a little light.
The decorative decoration of the room should be laconic; an abundance of numerous small details is not welcome. If necessary, it will be possible to enlarge the room by adding a balcony; it is also worth installing an arch instead of a door.
How to use purple in design
Purple and its shades look better in kitchens whose windows face south and are well lit most of the day. Combine with white, gold, blue. Juicy solutions with orange and turquoise colors look bohemian and elegant. Less commonly used are dirty green, blue-gray, yellow-brown, pink-ocher.
When developing a design, you should decide: will the kitchen be completely lilac, or will such tones be represented exclusively by the kitchen set, and a couple of decorative elements on the walls? A third option is also possible: the set itself, like other furniture, will be neutral - gray, white, wood tones. The walls, floor, ceiling, and individual decorative elements will become violet, lupine, amaranth, lilac, and purple.
