Purple kitchen: ideas for color, curtains, trim, furniture, lighting and decor.

Features of color

There are several basic nuances:

• This color, which is based on red and blue, has a calming effect on the human psyche and helps relieve emotional stress.
• Purple shades are better suited for rooms with windows facing south or for rooms with a high-quality lighting system.
• In order to dilute the expressiveness and saturation of this color, use white, beige, blue, coral or beige companion colors.
• Dark shades in large quantities can visually reduce the room, so it is advisable to use them in spacious kitchens, for example, in the design of window textiles or the facade of the kitchen set.
• In a small room, purple can prevail as individual fragments.
• According to Feng Shui, this color is not recommended for the kitchen, since the active tone creates negative energy.

Color combinations

Such a color can differ in saturation and temperature, be pastel and bleached light shades, for example, pale purple or, conversely, a deeper dark purple.

White and purple kitchen

White and purple are the best option for creating a calm, relaxing and at the same time bright and contrasting environment. Steel elements, such as household appliances, stainless steel sinks, silver handles, etc., will effectively complement such an interior. The most successful solution would be to combine a white top and a purple bottom in the design of the set.

This combination is an elegant and impeccable tandem of two colors that favorably shade and complement each other. White tones smooth out the eggplant shades and give them luxury and new graceful facets. The combination of snow-white and lilac can give the kitchen space lightness and tenderness, and the union of amethyst or lilac with white, create a mysterious atmosphere.

Gray-purple

Using a neutral gray palette, you can achieve a comfortable environment and a truly sophisticated and noble design. Pearl or graphite colors add amazing fragility and touchingness to the purple shade.

With black

Blueberry or violet tone, which is combined with black shiny glossy or matte surfaces, will perfectly complement the interior of a spacious kitchen with high-quality lighting.

If the decor looks too gloomy, light or pastel splashes are added to it in the form of decor. The black and purple kitchen set will be especially advantageous against a white apron, a stainless steel sink, and a refrigerator with a microwave in an identical design.

Purple-green

This two-tone design undoubtedly attracts attention and gives the interior a certain depth. Purple in combination with delicate light green acquires an incredibly fresh look, and paired with an intense light green or grass shade, it looks dynamic and exotic.

With yellow accents

Such a duet is quite effective and strong, so it requires very careful application in the kitchen design. Lighter and slightly worn yellow tones will go well with purple.

Beige and purple

A calm atmosphere can be achieved using a beige palette. Cream and other pastel shades of beige will give the space warmth and sublimity.

What curtains to choose for a purple kitchen?

Light curtains in beige and cream tones look very interesting and elegant, in combination with soft and delicate lilac shades. Such decor will fill the kitchen with lightness, airiness and will give it sophistication.

An extraordinary design idea is curtains or blinds of orange, red, yellow or pink color. For a lilac interior, it is better to choose canvases made of iridescent silk fabric, which will echo the capes on the chairs, tablecloth or other textiles. No less impressive are the curtains made of organza, which have an unobtrusive design and a slight play of color.

Short, medium and long curtains are used to decorate the window. Curtains can be decorated with original geometric prints, fringe or grabs. Lambrequins made of chiffon, crushed silk or mesh are often used as additional decor.

Finishing options

Tiles are considered the ideal covering for flooring. An alternative option would be durable laminate board, which will harmoniously combine with the kitchen set and wall decoration. In terms of color scheme, beige, light brown or cream tones are best suited. A dark purple floor will favorably complement the lilac wall covering and white ceiling plane. When using such a palette, it is important to select furniture elements and textiles wisely.

Washable wallpaper, mosaics, tiles or ceramics will be appropriate for the walls in the kitchen. Liquid wallpaper with small inclusions or regular canvases with elegant floral patterns or winding lines have a very unusual appearance. In the design of the work area, it is most practical to use tiles or splashbacks with drawings of flowers, still lifes, etc.

Paint, plaster, as well as plasterboard structures or stretch fabrics are suitable for finishing the ceiling. Basically, the ceiling plane is kept in a light shade so that the room visually seems much more spacious. It is also possible to use a two-tier system in white and lilac shades. A completely purple ceiling finish will be a rather bold design move.

What wallpaper to choose?

A win-win option is a combination of eggplant shades with white or light gray colors. If the furniture elements and apron are made in lilac color, it is better to choose pink, gray or light brown wallpaper for them.

A lilac kitchen will be favorably set off by burgundy, brown or emerald canvases. Purple wallpaper is considered a rather bold solution. With such a design, covering a significant kitchen area, it is advisable to use furniture and decor in a restrained range.

Decor and lighting

In such a kitchen space, the presence of green plants is especially appropriate, both living and in the form of images or patterns. Due to the successful combination of purple with yellow, the design will be advantageously complemented by gilded or bronze accessories. A light tablecloth can be decorated with lilac napkins, and the sofa can be decorated with pillows.

To prevent the room from looking gloomy, you should think over an intensive system of multi-level lighting with a central chandelier, built-in spotlights near the work area and LED backlighting of the apron.

Choosing furniture and techniques

Furniture with strict forms and clear proportions is suitable for a purple kitchen. Furniture details in black or silver colors will give the decor style and originality.

Facades with glass doors, decorated with golden paints or ornaments, will help to dilute the dark palette. The design will be advantageously emphasized by the insert or countertop made of matte, tinted glass, steel-colored sink and faucets, or floral and abstract patterns on the cabinets.

Furniture fittings play an important role, which can become the finishing touch of the kitchen in a certain style. For example, laconic metal handles will fit organically into a design in a modern style, elegant gilded elements will complement the classics, and handles with rhinestones will suit an art deco kitchen.

The kitchen set should have the most laconic design without pretentious decorative elements. For the dining table, chairs, countertop or apron, a lilac or purple color scheme is appropriate.

Eggplant shades can fit even into a small kitchen in a Khrushchev-era building. To prevent the interior from looking too saturated, it is not recommended to install a massive dark set. Light models with inserts, open shelves, glass doors or glossy facades will look much more interesting and lighter. A corner kitchen set, which is highly ergonomic, will help with the rational use of space in a small apartment.

A cold and rich purple palette is perfect for spacious rooms. A combined kitchen-living room, due to such a design, will seem visually more compact, neater and will acquire a truly festive look.

How does it look in different styles?

The romantic Provence style is characterized by soft and blurred lavender or lilac colors in combination with a white palette. The interior features natural materials or imitation of stone, wood and metal textures.

The kitchen set may have some abrasions, giving it an antique look. Beautiful tablecloths, decorative pillows or covers with floral prints are used as textiles. Accompanying components can be a mirror in a forged frame or antique dishes, recreating the atmosphere of an old French dining room.

Eggplant and plum shades especially favorably complement the metal and chrome details inherent in the high-tech style. The dark background harmonizes well with modern silver-colored appliances.

In the interior in the minimalist style, rectilinear forms and strict proportions in furniture and the presence of glossy plastic or glass facades with modern fittings are welcome. The color palette includes a combination of gray and lilac.
