Colour Trend - Purple

This week at the furniture market we are celebrating the latest purple interior colour trend, and are taking at look at the perfect way to introduce this warm and lively tonal palette into your home interiors.

From lovely lilacs to perfect plums there is a vast range of purple tones that will compliment both traditional and contemporary home designs. This popular colour choice will add a sense of uplifting vibrancy to your interior and will create a sumptuous space for you to relax.

For a selection of perfectly purple interiors, take a look at our latest Pinterest board - Pinterest - Purple Colour Trend.

Complimentary Colours

Despite its eye-catching and often vibrant appearance, purple is a versatile interior colour choice that blends well with a wide range of complimentary colours. Bright purples, such as violet and plum look particularly fetching when partnered with, yellow, pink and grey interiors and also look great as accent colours in monochrome interior settings.

Paler shades of purple such as lilac and lavender look beautiful with silver, white and even gold for a more traditional and classic appearance. You could also combine complimentary tones of purple for a light and dark contrast that remains within the same colour range.

Cushions

A bold array of purple scatter cushions will look wonderful adorning a sofa, chair or bed and will bring a strategically placed pop of colour to neutrally decorated interiors. Aubergine tones look great alongside pink, silver and black upholstery or opt for a more muted purple tone in a patterned or floral print design to create a  traditional interior ambiance. For a textural and aesthetically pleasing visual display, combine different sizes and shapes of cushion or create an 'ombre' style effect using a range of tones from across the purple colour spectrum.

Rugs and Upholstery

Rugs are a great way of creating a centralised blast of colour in your interior space. From simple, plain purple designs to bold geometric prints there is a vast selection of styles that will suit both classic and contemporary homes. Bold floral prints are bang on trend this season and can be selected in a complimentary purple tone that will match your cushions, throws and curtains.

Another way of introducing purple as an accent colour is by adding a strategically placed upholstered chair, sofa or window seat. A sumptuous purple occasional chair will create an eye-catching focal point in a living room, bedroom or office and looks particularly attractive against a plain white interior backdrop. You can opt for plain satin or chenille fabrics or bold patterned, printed designs for a more daring interior colour pop.

Furniture

Purple painted furniture designs will make an exquisitely opulent addition to any home interior and are a great alternative to using purple paint or wallpaper. Purple furniture can be complimented perfectly using chrome, gold or crystal handles for an added splash of luxury glamour.

If you are not feeling quite brave enough for coloured furniture then silver painted items such as our opulent French silver leaf painted furniture collection will create a splash of illuminating lustre against a plain or patterned purple wall. This glimmering colour partnership will create a regency style colour combination that will add a palatial style ambiance to your home.
