Purple and lilac bathroom: ideas for decoration, furniture and decor.

Interior design features

To use lilac in an apartment, it is worth considering what effect it has on a person – there are both pros and cons:

• Light purple has a calming effect and adds a touch of romance to the atmosphere.
• Bright lilac helps to create a cheerful atmosphere, it invigorates and gives strength.
• Rich dark purple makes the interior elegant.
• The disadvantage of purple is that its use in a large area of the room can be depressing.
• The active color of iris can quickly become boring, so it must be diluted with neutral shades.

Finishing options

The most popular way to finish a purple bathroom is ceramic tiles. Tiles are resistant to all kinds of dirt and moisture, and also have a wide range of shades, shapes and sizes.

Lilac is not only the walls in the bathroom. The floor and ceiling can support a bright bathroom in the same range, especially if its owners prefer an elegant and festive fusion style. The floor is covered with porcelain stoneware with an anti-slip surface. A glossy or matte stretch ceiling is installed on top, which can be equipped with LED lighting around the perimeter.

For finishing lilac walls, moisture-resistant paint, decorative plaster, panels or wallpaper with an ornament are also used.

Purple mosaic looks especially interesting: it is rarely used for tiling the entire room, since small details visually fragment the space. A great solution is to combine mosaics with large tiles or to decorate only the shower area.

Furniture, plumbing, decor

Lilac is a very active color in itself, so in minimalist interiors you should not overuse additional decor except in cases dictated by a certain style (baroque, fusion, hi-tech). Traditionally, furniture and plumbing are chosen in calm tones and without excesses.

For a blueberry-toned setting, warm lighting that gives golden highlights is best. The shower curtain, rugs, and towels can all match the purple walls, which is a great way to balance the space.

Design ideas

If you are not afraid of the eccentricity of purple tones and halftones, it is easy to turn the bathroom into the highlight of the entire apartment. Drawings, wallpaper with gradients, and contrasting stripes are successfully used to decorate the walls.

The photo shows textured walls painted purple. They serve as a bright background for unusual decor in a rustic style: a candelabra, an antique mirror and a bathtub with flowers.

Any unusual detail can become a special feature of an extraordinary interior in lavender tones: a figured sink, a carved mirror, bright textiles or a designer chandelier. Contrasting elements can also serve as decor: for example, green towels or an orange door.

Lilac can be alternated with white through one tile, laid out in a checkerboard pattern, to create complex patterns.

Color combinations

Different shades of purple allow you to achieve interesting combinations with many colors. It is created by mixing the coldest and the hottest shades, and such contradictions make it a great companion for neutral tones, such as white or beige.

The combination with brown furniture gives the bathroom solidity, and a two-tone bathroom with yellow or green accents, on the contrary, looks youthful and bold.

The black and purple interior emphasizes the feeling owner’s style: such furnishings are strict and luxurious at the same time, but are not desirable in small rooms, for example, in a Khrushchev-era bathroom. A purple bathroom looks great, and it is recommended to complement it with golden or silver details. In addition, purple goes well with gray, pink and light blue.

A lilac bathroom looks great with light furniture: this is a very gentle, romantic and, rather, feminine interior option.

Photo of a combined bathroom

In many apartments, the bathrooms are separate, but often the bathroom is combined with toilet.

A purple toilet can be decorated with tiles, wallpaper, or simply painted. For small spaces, it is recommended to use lilac in combination with light tones: for example, place white ceramic tiles on the lower half of the wall, and paint the top in glycine.
