For many, a purple bedroom will seem like an extremely bold decision. You need to work with shades of this color very carefully and thoughtfully. The emotional perception of purple depends on the saturation and correct combination with other colors. Light lilac tones will bring peace and joy to the owners of the bedroom. Using bright colors can stimulate activity and creativity. Saturated and dark - can cause irritation and sadness.
The entire interior should be filled with an intimate atmosphere, promote spiritual communication and be conducive to complete relaxation.
Bedroom interior in purple tones
When choosing a bedroom made in purple tones, you should not mindlessly copy the fashionable design. The design must be thought out very carefully, taking into account the individual characteristics, character of the person, his psycho-emotional state and age.
The bedroom should be a cozy and calm place to relax.
Active use of purple in a child's bedroom will stimulate and develop the child's creativity. Whereas for older people this can lead to a state of sadness and sometimes irritability.
This color is the most extravagant among aesthetic connoisseurs.
Purple color is quite complex. It is usually associated with luxury, wealth, nobility and wisdom. Feng Shui states that purple encourages relaxation and rest and is most suitable for people seeking inner harmony.
Purple color will give the room a romantic mood.
Color Features
Shade characteristics:
- In psychology, it is believed that the color purple suits sophisticated and creative people. Each shade of purple evokes its own specific emotions. For example, dark colors have a special mysticism, while lighter colors have a beneficial effect on a person, calming and relaxing him.
- A distinctive feature of this interior is the ability to use two purple shades at once, one light and the other bright. This way the overall picture looks more lively and less boring.
- Any sophisticated shade of purple fits best in large bedrooms. This range will add freshness and spaciousness to the room. In a small bedroom, too saturated colors will further reduce the space.
- A room made in purple colors needs proper and high-quality lighting. Here it will not be enough to use one light source, so the interior is complemented with auxiliary elements such as wall sconces, table lamps and floor lamps.
- It is not recommended to dilute a bedroom in a similar color scheme with the original shades of purple in the form of red or blue. These colors will contribute to the destruction of the soft lilac background and will negatively affect the overall perception of the interior.
- According to Feng Shui, purple is a fairly strong color that carries extraordinary sensuality and magical energy. In Eastern philosophy, cool and slightly dark eggplant violet, deep plum, dark purple or indigo tones are quite appropriate for bedroom decoration. This palette relaxes, relieves tension, allows you to achieve harmony and create an appropriate environment for relaxation and sleep.
Choosing a shade of purple for your bedroom decor
Designers recommend planning your bedroom design, taking into account some color features:
- deep rich tones should be used in spacious bedrooms;
- for Khrushchev houses with small rooms and low ceilings, purple is distributed in doses, preferably in the form of bright accents - within 10-15% of the total area;
- for a small bedroom it is better to use delicate lavender tones in combination with white or lilac with beige, light gray, cream;
For lovers of a non-standard design solution, as in the photo, we recommend an elegant room in purple and lilac tones.
Methods, combination options
When combining different colors of purple and green, you need to follow a few simple recommendations:
- the selected colors should be similar in warmth (differences in color temperature will create an uncomfortable environment);
- differences in brightness and degree of lightness/darkening should not create strong contrasts (light green and eggplant would be an inappropriate duet);
- the selected colors should be appropriate in the interior of a particular room (for example, pastel colors are suitable for teenagers’ and children’s rooms, dark and restrained colors are suitable for an office).
Options for combining the selected tones may be different. With the help of bright colors you can highlight some walls or focus on furniture or textiles. Warm and pastel colors can become the basis for original decoration and can only be found here and there in sets or decor. The main thing is not to use the selected colors “to the maximum”, otherwise the resulting design will be chaotic and even annoying.
Bedroom design in purple tones: choosing a style
Interesting combinations of different shades of purple will help correct broken geometry, give the space comfort and a special mood, and emphasize the characteristic features of the style.
A delicate lilac bedroom is an extraordinary choice; such a preference says a lot about its owner.
Modern
Lavender, purple, cornflower blue look great in combination with white or light green. This pattern of colors is characteristic of the Art Nouveau style.
Shades of green mute the aggressiveness and gloom of the bright and dark purple palette.
High tech
Decorating a bedroom in a high-tech or techno style is suitable for active, bright and confident men. The combination of purple and black predominates in this direction. To express the style, newfangled designer panels are used: high-gloss or with a 3D effect, embossed, as well as photo wallpaper.
Regardless of where you live, it’s worth starting renovations in order to decorate your bedroom in lilac tones.
Classical
Purple with tints of cornflower blue or lilac suits classics and romanticism. The combination of pink and purple, where the former is dominant, is also characteristic of romanticism and Venetian styles.
Colorists note its specific feature in the interior.
Minimalism
The popular combination of black, white and purple is appropriate in almost all styles. To add dynamics to the room, alternating matte and glossy black surfaces is necessary. Light colors should be used as a background, and black should emphasize details, complement the overall picture, and accentuate attention, thereby adding sophistication to the interior.
This combination of colors interspersed with luxury is used in sophisticated minimalism.
Other styles
Fuchsia (bright purple) is best combined with silver or gray tones.
This is a great combination for art deco style.
A bedroom in white and purple tones is characterized by lightness and airiness; purple shades will add romance. Provided that a dark tone is taken as a basis, the bedroom will look mystical and futuristic.
Lilac color is perfect for non-standard people.
Gray and light tones of brown are often used as smooth transitions between shades and as a diluent for the purple mix. A bedroom in gray-violet tones will best dilute the color activity of the main shade with the calmness of the secondary color.
Choice of style
Complex specific tones look good in interiors of different stylistic orientations.

Complex specific tones look good in interiors of different stylistic orientations
The list is not limited to this; if desired, this palette can be adequately presented in neo-baroque and classic, in a glamorous bedroom and a high-tech studio apartment. A bedroom design with purple wallpaper looks good in a modern design, but needs to be complemented with light furniture and textiles.
Lilac is a friendlier shade than deep violet. But it can be used tastefully, for example, in the idea of additions, accessories, in textile designs or wallpaper. Don't forget that the bedroom interior is also influenced by the choice of bed linen - choose large floral prints. Perception largely depends on lighting, especially artificial lighting; it is better to choose diodes and lamps of the “cold” spectrum. Successful bedroom design options in purple are widely presented in our photo gallery.

Harmonious combination of purple with other colors
Purple color is obtained by mixing red and blue in different proportions. When choosing the desired shade, you should take into account its “temperature”. It becomes warm if the pigment is red, cold - when there is more blue.
If you like this mysterious tone, do not rush to start repairs; it is better to first become familiar with the perceptual properties of the purple palette.

Warm shades of purple:
- crimson;
- purple (red-violet);
- amethyst (with a reddish tint);
- primrose color (with a hint of indigo);

Important! When choosing the color of a building material, you need to check the markings indicated on the packaging (article, series, batch, etc.). Choose wallpaper, enamels, paints, and plaster especially carefully. This is due to the fact that manufacturers mix paints using different technologies and in different proportions. So, for example, wallpaper from the same company in a purple color, say a lilac hue, but released in different batches may differ. The problem is that often this difference is very insignificant. You can notice it only in good lighting and comparing two wallpapers. That’s why it’s so important to check that batch and batch numbers match.
Color zoning
The impulsive and mystical radiance of purple can be used to create cozy corners for relaxation in the bedroom. It will never be boring in such “dedicated” places. In the interweaving of purple shades, you can perfectly relax and read or sit at your laptop, watching your favorite movie and chatting with friends. You can use a free corner of the bedroom in a somewhat unconventional way, for example, for yoga, or arrange a mini-gym in it. You can highlight specific areas by decorating walls, using screens and curtains, and other original methods.

Bedrooms in purple in a combination of black and virgin white
The combination of purple and white is in first place in popularity. While white has a muted effect on purple, the latter makes it brighter. Here you can choose many design options: the walls in the bedroom can be purple and the furniture white, or vice versa.
A fashionable trend is partial painting (one wall is white, another is purple, the third is white and with a purple pattern, or vice versa).
It is possible to make the entire room in light or milky colors, and curtains or bedspreads will be a bright accent.
A purple bedroom with black can look a little dark. Therefore, it is better to dilute such a duet with white, milky, beige, sand, and cream.

Black color becomes an addition to accentuate details or add sophistication to the interior. Such combinations are used in high-tech and minimalist styles. If you have a sufficient amount of furniture and accessories, you should use as many light shades as possible so as not to overload the room.
These colors will help give the room austerity and a solid atmosphere, and when adding white, it will add laconicism to the entire space.
A duet of black and purple will fill the room with depth, and in a small amount will add a slight mystery.
Choosing shades for the interior
Nowadays, many new names have appeared in the palette of lilac-violet shades, associated with natural analogues. These are lavender and eggplant, indigo and fuchsia, charoite (mineral) and orchid.
In its pure form, this color is rarely found, mainly in flower petals. But the plant itself, which gave its name, has more than 30 shades - from the purple “Persian” lilac of double varieties to the wild-growing pale blue “Russian”. The entire violet-lilac palette is used for the interior, but the most popular shades are:
- cyclamen;
- amethyst;
- fuchsia;
- orchid;
- bluish;
- pinkish;
- lavender;
- classic lilac;
- lavender;
- violet;
- blurred purple;
- grayish (“lilac fog”);
- lilac blue.
Light and blurry shades are preferred; they do not strain perception and do not overload the overall gamut. The walls seem to expand the space, especially with neon or LED lighting. The room seems cleaned, filled with fresh spring aromas. In a small room, the addition of purple textiles (curtains and bedspreads) or elegant accessories looks great.
In its pure form, lilac color is very rare.

Light and blurry shades are preferred, they do not strain perception
The interior of the room in purple and lilac tones will be successfully complemented by white furniture and window textiles, and black linear contrasts in the decoration. But there may be options with decor and accessories, for example, a purple bedspread, painting or photo wallpaper in purple tones.
Attention! The “four” is considered a classic, consisting of two “duets” - lilac plus violet (or lilac) and black plus white. But there should be much more light shades in proportion!
The background dark purple is a deep, rich and “bottomless” color. Its excess is depressing, but it is quite acceptable in the form of a self-leveling polymer floor, which will look elegant and extravagant.
Lilac color will fill the room with warmth and comfort
A room in lilac color will be perfectly complemented by white furniture.
The classic combination (purple, lilac and white with black) is used by famous designers and lovers of experimental interiors in their apartments. With the right choice of shades, you can complement this quartet, vary it, adding the most appropriate shades:
- grey;
- silver;
- beige;
- blue;
- red;
- pink;
- blue;
- chocolate;
- mustard;
- turquoise;
- light green;
- olive (with lavender).
Just don’t overdo it with the choice of palette; you can only use 1-2 contrasting colors, otherwise you will end up with too much perception. Black can be replaced with blueberry or eggplant. Beige, brown and all warm colors should be used in doses.
The romantic atmosphere is complemented by floral decor or elements in lavender and violet tones. A favorite design feature for decorating a married bedroom is pale lilac or white walls and a glossy stretch ceiling, as in the photo.

Purple curtains, bedspreads and other bedroom elements
The interior of a purple bedroom can be complemented with curtains, pillows, bedspreads or bed linen. The fabric is used both without patterns in combination with various tones, and with them. Fabrics with floral motifs, abstract patterns, and stylized elements are suitable.
For curtains, you can use transparent fabrics with numerous frills.
A good addition would be various vintage accessories.
Note! Curtains or curtains should differ from the walls by 3-4 tones. If they are dark, you must use light textiles.
Furnishing a purple bedroom mainly depends on the style of the room and its lighting. In a bedroom in purple tones, furniture with a glossy surface looks very interesting. Glass and mirror objects will fit perfectly into the interior.
The delicacy and lightness of purple will be emphasized by pearl, white, grey, light beige or transparent furniture. Woody tones with yellowness or redness look rude and awkward with this color.
A great addition would be vintage furniture - for example, a large double bed, white furniture with gilded monograms.
According to Feng Shui, there should be a lot of things in the bedroom that store positive energy: crafts, photos, figurines, postcards. It’s great to decorate your bedroom with a unique handmade item: a knitted blanket, a sewn soft toy or homemade furniture.
Purple can be used in trim, upholstery, carpets, curtains, lighting and decorative items. A wide palette from primary colors to pastel and contrasting tones allows you to choose the most harmonious, comfortable option for decorating your bedroom.
The main thing is not to be afraid to go beyond the usual boundaries of perception of “wooden floor – light ceiling”.
