General rules and recommendations

In order to choose the right color for rooms, you need to correlate several parameters and remember these rules:

• Violet is divided into warm (lilac, orchid, eggplant and others with a red undertone), cold shades (purple, amethyst, wisteria and others with a blue undertone) and neutral (bright violet and lilac);
• Purple in the interior must be diluted with one or two tones (contrasting or similar, or both);
• In warm shades it makes the room smaller, so it must be used in rooms with windows (preferably two), with high ceilings of white, beige colors and with good lighting;
• In small rooms, it is appropriate in details (pouf, picture, table lamp, accent wall), then the room retains its size and at the same time becomes brighter;
• The purple ceiling and floor must not be combined;
• Do not use more than four shades of the same color tone in the interior of the room.

The combination of purple with other colors

The room interior in purple tones must be approached carefully when choosing companion colors, since in different shades it is a mixture of blue and warm red, which complicates the choice. Interior designers give recommendations with which colors purple matches the interior better, and with which it cannot divide the space.

• White with purple It is a win-win option due to the combination of bright and neutral tones. In contrast, these shades complement each other, and depending on the main color, you can create two different moods. As a decor, you can choose objects of silver, metallic, black, gold colors, and crystal and glass emphasize the depth and freshness of the color combination.

• Black purple The interior is suitable for decorating bedrooms. Fire of a fireplace or candles, light paintings and frames, glass will complement a bold combination.

• Gray purple the interior in bright colors looks neutral and piquant due to the activity of color. With this combination, you can experiment and create both a gentle image for the nursery and a strict one for the office.

• Purple and brown the interior emphasizes the originality of the choice. Saturated chocolate and ripe plum with white elements of decor are suitable for a bold and unusual design (provided there is sufficient illumination of the room), and mustard accents in the furniture will create the avant-garde spirit.

• Red violet the interior (like black and purple) in its pure form creates tension, reduces the size of the room and emotionally suppresses the present.To design a room in such a combination, details of such colors are suitable (for example, a red sofa).

• Yellow purple the interior creates a bright mood and a charge of vivacity. For saturated lemon shades it is better to choose lilac and light lilac color. With mustard yellow, the purple-red color of the magenta looks great.

• Green and purple in the interior they create an effect of mystery in dark shades, and freshness in rich grass and neutral lavender, and the pistachio-colored walls and lilac upholstered furniture will complement each other without the intervention of a third color.

• Turquoise and purple they are often found in the interior and look great against the background of fresh pastel walls. You can combine these shades in different quantities and combine with white.

• Purple pink the interior in neutral colors with light gray details will look unusual and unobtrusive. Ideal for kids room.

• Lilac purple The interior creates a vintage style complemented with gold accessories and wrought iron elements. In pastel colors, these close colors are suitable for the delicate decoration of the girl's room.
