Lilac kitchen design - interior with unusual spring notes

Lilac color is extraordinary in nature, mysterious and “fragrant”. It is associated with lavender, lilac, spring, flower fields, French Provence. The light and unobtrusive shade can be different - rich in a bold but mysterious atmosphere, romantic in a light, openwork setting. It will be just as sophisticated and ambiguous in the kitchen, especially in different tones - violet, amethyst, plum or grape.

Lilac color in the kitchen interior

Shades of lavender and lilac retain their character in the interior. Although a lot depends on the depth and richness of the color, such a kitchen will be very mysterious. But one cannot take away from the lilac palette freshness, coolness, and inspiration. In pastel colors, the tone can become the main one for finishing a large area, but in brighter colors it is used exclusively in details. In the interior of the kitchen, this can be the facades of the furniture, the apron of the work area, an accent wall, accessories and decor.

Of course, even light purple surfaces cannot be alone - harmony is achieved by combining this color with neutral, universal, eye-pleasing additions. Lilac kitchens are always an organic combination of two or three tones in varying degrees of saturation.

Use as an accent

Not everyone will like a room entirely done in bright lilac. If this color scheme just becomes a beautiful accent, a kitchen set with clear, regular shapes is preferable. There should be a minimum number of large, brightly colored vertical surfaces - some cabinets may have glass doors and open shelves. The chrome and silver decor of the headset looks beautiful.

If the furniture is light, then the “highlight” of the interior will be the kitchen apron - completely purple, textured wall panel “checkerboard”, glass with images of grapes, plums, blackberries. Dark lilac wallpaper looks interesting - a panorama of an evening city with lights, a mysterious blue-violet underwater world. Large 3D space-themed stickers for ceilings or doors look great. Window decoration in a bright room is done using plain blinds or curtains. In a dark, cramped kitchen, thin “flying”, translucent fabrics are used - cotton, silk, organza, tulle.

Combination of lilac color with other shades

A classic version of a harmonious combination with lavender color is a duet with white. This kitchen turns out cool, fresh, and elegant. The snowy palette and its nuances can visually expand the space and make it easier to perceive, especially in combination with juicy eggplant or plum.

But there are, of course, other harmonious duets and even trios:

• By analogy with white, lilac goes well with softer shades - milky, creamy, champagne. The interior is not as solemn as in the white and lavender kitchen, but also bright, spacious, and comfortable.
• A duet of violet with dark gray or even black is also often found . An exotic, rather bold combination, acceptable for a spacious kitchen, is best complemented with a few more light surfaces. And it’s better to combine such dark tones with a light lilac color.

• An organic combination of lavender and gray in a light palette is a priority for technologically advanced modern interiors, where metal and glass play a leading role. Metallic coated surfaces are often found here - this is a direct emphasis on technology. However, in matte variations, these shades in a duet can be present in simple interiors - for example, in Provence style, then the combination takes on a new sound. Gray is the color of stone, lilac is lavender or violets, or the same lilac.
• Lilac and pink is another, at first glance, simple combination . In fact, the interior may turn out to be monochrome, although there is nothing wrong with this if you use surfaces of different textures and shade nuances. For example, shagreen plaster interspersed with metallic or natural mineral in the decoration of walls is originally combined with a smooth countertop surface and polished wood floors or dining area.

• A bright, cheerful combination of lilac with yellow or light green is a solution for a kitchen that needs to be made warm, more illuminated, and positive. Of course, this combination can be used in any room, but a northern room with such a duet in design will become more attractive and cozy.

• Purple looks luxurious in its entire range with the natural palette of wood . Light wood harmonizes with any shades of lilac, while dark wood is best combined only with light lavender.
• A combination of violet and green can be called natural . They are organic, but require a complement, which can be sand, beige, or milky. Let's use metallic gray here too. In such trios, plant colors can be more saturated, but if you do not use a neutral addition, it is better to choose pastel greens or lilacs.

When choosing a lilac kitchen, you should understand that not all combinations with this color are harmonious - you should not experiment with red and blue. This will be an overly contrasting environment in which it will be very difficult to find balance.

Styles for arranging a lilac kitchen

The color of lilac is relevant in most modern design trends, where such surfaces often have a glossy finish. But in a matte finish, the lavender palette is relevant for Provence, modern, and classicism styles. When choosing such a range, you should prefer a laconic design - any shade of lilac is original. This is a capacious color that will fill the space no matter how much area it occupies.

• In classicism, you can prefer purple curtains, pillows on the sofa, carpet or pattern on the walls.
• In Art Nouveau , along with green, pale pink, milky and sand, the color of wisteria will be a natural part of the design.
• In Provence, lavender is a priority . Entire fields surround the houses of French Provence. The windows offer views of the sea or blue sky, and the entire expanse to the horizon is filled with purple.
• In modern interiors, purple is often used in glossy facades, in the apron of the work area, and in accent surfaces.

In any style, it is worth remembering a sense of proportion: when working with lilac, it is better to choose fewer rich details, prefer minimalism and restraint. Only then will the violet palette be organic.

Kitchen furniture in lilac tones

The most popular solution is a kitchen set with lilac or amethyst facades.

In this case, the same shade is present in several more details:

• In the ornament of the apron and/or wallpaper on the walls of the dining area. The glass wall decoration behind the stove and sink with photo printing will be attractive. Here you can use simple patterns, landscapes with lavender fields,
• In plates and other utensils.
• In textile furnishings.
• In flower arrangements - in live or dry bouquets, in decor, in paintings.

Less often they choose purple upholstery for a soft corner, and even less often - purple chairs.
Such nuances are appropriate if the setting contains some other matching details - an apron, utensils, tablecloth, curtains. If you choose a purple set or dining area, the walls should be more versatile - white, beige, sand, pastel - green, yellow, barely pink. One area can be made brighter to highlight or zone the room. This may be a more saturated shade of the background color scheme or an amethyst palette.

Finishing in lilac tones

A kitchen in a lavender palette is not just furniture. The lilac decoration of the room looks interesting and extraordinary.

It can be different in nature and volume. The following combinations are organic:

• The walls of the dining area are painted in an unobtrusive light violet tone . There may be an apron or a pattern on it, or decorative elements in the same shade. Then the kitchen set, dining room, and other surfaces will be made in neutral shades. These can be either light or dark colors. All universal tones, as well as dark gray, black, chocolate, and natural wood, are in harmony with light lilac walls.
• Choosing a rich plum for an accent design . For example, these could be niches, curtains, part of the wall with open shelves, furniture upholstery, a suspended ceiling above the dining area. It is not necessary to have all these elements in one palette; you can choose 2-3 large-scale details against a background of a neutral tone.
• Purple wallpaper can contain a pattern of the same color as the background design or the color of the typeface. Or you can choose the opposite pattern - a purple hue on light surfaces.

Plain walls

As a rule, a single-color finish is paint, plaster, brick painting, and, less often, wallpaper. When shades are combined in the decoration, the coating can be smooth, but if the room is predominantly monochrome, then textures are played out. Shagreen, perfect gloss, “velvet” to the touch materials are appropriate here.

Selection of lilac wallpaper for kitchen decoration

Wallpaper is the most popular material for decorating any room, including the kitchen. The design of coatings can be so diverse that it is difficult to even imagine. The designers' arsenal includes simple floral motifs, stripes, abstract patterns, and photo-printed coatings. A variety of subjects gives rise to the individuality of interiors. In the same setting, one drawing on the walls can change the mood of the design.

• For a classic interior, choose a large rosette pattern . But it cannot occupy too large an area - it will visually take up a lot of space, especially in purple. The pattern itself can be in the same palette, but a tone or two darker or lighter, or in the color of other furnishings.
• In Provence style, the wallpaper will be light - as if faded . A small floral pattern, coverings with photo printing depicting a French village, lavender fields, and seascapes are appropriate here.
• Modern is a complex interior with organic notes , in which a rich plum color can be a sofa in the dining area, complemented by no less bright green, pink, blue (but not blue!) details.
• Modern design trends give priority to simple ornaments . Stripes, abstraction, and photo printing are appropriate here. But the images on the walls should not be rustic, as in Provence: the laconicism and technology of the modern environment accepts macro photography, city landscapes, and non-standard solutions. The choice of plot depends on the nature of the design and the mood of the situation. For example, minimalism welcomes the absence of ornate and overly pompous patterns. Therefore, for such an interior it is better to choose macro photographs, for example, a flying dandelion. This is just an example, although such an image in a lavender palette will be especially original.

Having determined the ornament, you should pay attention to the combinations of shades in the wallpaper patterns. For a small room, choose less contrasting solutions, although they are appropriate in small areas - a stripe near the dining table, for example. In a spacious kitchen, you can use different wallpapers - with a rich pattern on a lilac background or a light (white, silver, cream, yellow) pattern on a rich lavender base.

Looks organic:

• Gold and silver on any purple background in a classic interior.
• Luxurious chocolate on amethyst wallpaper in minimalism, Provence and Art Nouveau styles.
• A relief pattern in the same palette is appropriate in any design direction - the choice depends on the nature of the interior. Here the wallpaper can be either light or rich.

The choice of wallpaper largely depends on personal preferences, because finishing materials that seem completely different at first glance can fit into any interior. And based on the desired atmosphere, the owners select wall coverings.

Ceiling and flooring for a lilac kitchen

The selection of wallpaper, as well as the choice of accessories, depends on the type of set, dining room and floor covering. Of course, sometimes owners choose one thing, and then add other nuances to the detail they like, creating a personal interior. But this is too individual an approach, so it is impossible to consider all options.

Here are just a few universal ideas:

• A lavender ceiling is an interesting solution for a spacious kitchen with a large dining area . You can also paint the top surface in a pastel lilac color in a small room. A more saturated color can be used in a suspended ceiling above the dining group, following its contour, while simultaneously zoning the room.
• Purple floors are often ceramic tiles . You can supplement such a covering with a couple of elements from a whole list: curtains, upholstery of upholstered furniture or chairs, an apron for the work area, utensils, towels, potholders.
• The floor and ceiling in one place can be rich lilac - to place accents in the design . You can support the decorative tone with a pattern or skin with photo printing, a pattern on an accent wall, curtains, or in decor.

With such coatings, the choice of wallpaper is simplified - they will not be lilac, with rare exceptions. It is better to make the walls neutral - in a companion color chosen for the overall design.

Another nuance for a harmonious design in such a palette is the choice of accessories.

Curtains

Purple curtains can be used for kitchen windows not only if the color scheme of the furnishings and wallpaper is identical. On the contrary, in this case it is necessary to carefully reconsider the compatibility of shades. Not all of them harmoniously complement each other. For example, fuchsia will get lost against the background of classic lilac.

It’s another matter when, against the background of furniture the color of natural wood, purple curtains (or curtains) swing easily and gracefully. Their reflection is an original chandelier, which combines the same transparent drops of glass.

It is advisable to select small harmonizing interior details for violet curtains:

• vases;
• decorative plates;
• tea accessories;
• tablecloth for the dining table;
• glass on kitchen cabinets, others.

It will turn out gentle, easy, aesthetically pleasing.

We focus attention and determine the style direction

A separate conversation is about the curtains at the entrance to the kitchen. Many consider them a symbol of comfort and do not want to deviate from these views. For such cases, designers provide special styles, necessarily equipped with tiebacks and in harmony with the window curtains. Unlike window curtains, the purple fabric on the doors should be dominant. This option will not contradict the overall color ensemble.

Which style should I use?

Despite its mystery, for many romantic people lilac is soft and gentle. Therefore, frills, ruffles, folds and gathers are a completely acceptable option. They will add lightness and airiness, making the kitchen design sophisticated, slightly dreamy.

The style is very diverse, there is something for everyone's taste

Curtains can be:

• short (on the upper third of the window);
• medium (up to the window sill);
• long (to the floor).

Large kitchens allow you to decorate the windows with curtains (light tulle in a light color) and durable heavy curtains (for light and noise protection), as well as a special evening design.

Purple color in curtains can play a primary and secondary role. In both cases he is expressive and chic. Against such a background, white polka dots or small flowers look natural. The contours of hearts, the outlines of birds, and figuratively drawn letters are relevant today.

As an additional purple decoration for curtains, geometric shapes, fringes, and curtain tiebacks are original.

Perhaps the use of lambrequins that combine two or more shades of purple. For the light part, organza, chiffon, and curtain fabric are suitable. The second part can be made of mesh or crinkled silk. The length of lambrequins is also not standardized. Its main dependence is on the height of the room. It is not advisable to complement not very high kitchens with floor-length curtains.

Only for sophisticated interiors

Accessories for kitchen interiors in lavender tones: which chandelier to choose, which curtains and decor

The overall mood of the kitchen depends on the details, and not just on the color of the walls and furniture. And here it is important to find harmonious solutions that are proportional to the area of ​​the room and consistent with the number of shades.

Kitchen accessories in such an unusual palette can be neutral, accent or lilac. Universal shades - white, cream, beige, sand. Such details can be if the design already uses three colors, and the details cannot be made bright. Using a purple tone can make the design overloaded, so more than three shades will look garish.

Lavender accessories

Purple details are a more common choice than backgrounds of the same tone. In a bright kitchen, you can safely choose a purple chandelier, curtains, tablecloths, and utensils - vases, plates, plastic items - of the same shade. One has only to take into account that there should not be too many of them. Either these will be small details in a rather rich palette, or it is better to choose a less deep color.

The choice of accessories also depends on the design style. For example, in a classic kitchen, a lilac chandelier should be chosen from several glass parts or with a fabric lampshade. This can be a fairly large lamp if it is a spacious room. Then curtains of a similar color in a traditional design are appropriate here. But for a modern design, it is better to choose blinds or roller blinds, which can also be purple, but you should no longer choose a standard chandelier. Lamps in wisteria color can be metal, glass, concrete with silicone.

Which chandelier to choose for a Provence style kitchen? In such an interior you can hang a wicker lamp or a wooden lattice lamp (with a light bulb that does not heat up), or a forged lamp. All this can be painted in a delicate lavender or a rather rich lilac color.

Accessories for lilac decoration: which chandelier to choose and other details

In a kitchen with purple trim, it is worth using other accents - a more saturated color of the same palette, in a companion color, but not a background shade.

Against the background of lilac walls or furniture, the following will be harmonious:

• pink;
• sparkling white palette;
• accessories in chocolate color;
• steel parts;
• gold inserts.

Of course, if we talk about a chandelier, it is unlikely to be dark - here it is worth remembering the purpose of the lamp. It is better to hang a wicker or forged lampshade; solid shades in dark colors are inappropriate.

The choice of such details is based on the style of interior design, its mood, and selected color combinations. Do not forget about personal preferences, because design solutions do not always take into account the individual mood and lifestyle of the owners. If the choice fell on a lilac color scheme for the kitchen, in any case you will get an extraordinary setting.

White and purple design

The traditional combination, which has not gone out of fashion for more than ten years, is suitable for both small and spacious rooms.

A fashionable option is a modern U-shaped kitchen with glossy purple facades and white countertops. This set is convenient due to its wide working surface. We recommend purchasing built-in household appliances to create a holistic composition.

An apron with a print will be a good accent. Find drawings for him that look organic in purple tones. Ideal, in our opinion, flowers. Lavender, violets, irises - the choice is quite wide. The main thing is that the image is of high quality and clear, otherwise the result will not be very attractive.

However, you can also use berries if you plan to add bright colors. We recommend making a wide, long apron over the entire work surface.

A beautiful white and purple kitchen will turn out if you decorate it in muted lilac tones. This is a more classic design option, so choose furniture and appliances that are appropriate: without too complex shapes or matte texture. As a decoration, we recommend purchasing a ball chandelier with an elegantly woven lampshade.
