In combination with white (where white dominates), purple loses its dark essence and becomes simply expressive. And if white acts as an addition, then violet is significantly clarified and plays an emphasizing role. It is important to remember that the dynamics and liveliness of the room will give the use of several shades of purple.

Regarding the combination of lilac and white, we can say that this is a very gentle duet.

The combination of purple or lilac with green can rarely be found in the interior: for many this seems too extravagant. But actually it looks quite interesting. For a more balanced effect, you can use some rules. The first rule is a combination of light and dark tones. For example, take a light shade of green and dark purple or, conversely. The main thing here is that the background is light, and the furniture and accessories are dark. Another rule requires good lighting or lightness. That is, if you take dark shades (either green or purple), then neutralize them with lighting or white accents. Then the interior will be not only beautiful, but also alive. And the most important thing when using bright colors is the large area of ​​the room, otherwise the room will look small and gloomy.

Creating an interior in a combination of purple (lilac) and brown it is important to remember that this is very melancholy interior. Although recently it has become fashionable for bedroom design.The thing is that brown color calms and suppresses emotions, and purple (lilac) further enhances this feeling, so in this interior you absolutely do not want to do anything. Therefore, in the bedroom this duo is the place, in addition to relaxation there will be a mysterious and mystical atmosphere.

You can also safely use this combination for home theater, the depth of purple will help you enjoy watching your favorite movie, and emphasize the mystery of the atmosphere. And brown will relax and soothe.

But for the living room or kitchen, this union is dangerous, it can create a feeling of boredom and even apathy, especially if you are subject to the psychological influence of color. But, if there is enough desire, you can use these colors in these rooms, you just need to know how. First, be sure to use light shades, so their pressure will soften; secondly, dilute with white and light abundantly. Thirdly, it is important that the room is spacious, otherwise you will still feel a slight stiffness. These subtleties will make the kitchen and living room cozy, comfortable, a little mysterious, but not gloomy.

Red- The violet color is called a shade of purple. This is the most dangerous and most passionate duet. In such an alliance there is a clear confrontation of colors: red is active, and violet is as calm as possible. Why are these opposite colors combined? The fact is that with this combination, a very strong and emotional tone is obtained. For many, it is hard to perceive, therefore, those who have an unstable psyche are contraindicated in its use, especially in the interior. But, despite this, the room, decorated in red and purple tones, is amazing and attractive. The atmosphere can be pompous, sometimes vintage.

A huge advantage of this combination is that it can be used to make quick and relatively inexpensive repairs that look good and tasteful. These two colors will ennoble any room, even in the form of accents or several elements.

They perfectly complement the interiors in purple-red stucco molding, gilded frames, various antiques, vases etc. Designers are advised to maintain the style in everything, even make the floor of mahogany parquet. Draperies would perfectly emphasize this style, but if it seems too gloomy for you, then you can use a long tulle, reaching right to the floor. And select the lighting in the form of lamps on the wall and around the perimeter of the ceiling. Make all this light yellow.

This is a very beautiful and delicate interior. It’s just nice to be in such a room. This combination is used quite often due to the comfort and light and comfortable atmosphere.

So, pastel colors are often neutral and are used in this tandem as a base. Therefore, the main task will be a game with shades of lilac and purple, as well as the correct arrangement of accents. If you take the gentle tones of lilac and light pastel shades (for example, cream), you get a very light and airy atmosphere. And this is perfectly suited for the bedroom and living room. Here, the main advantage will be that it is easy to choose textiles and decor for this design. And if you want to add another color, then by all means white. And the mood of the room will depend on the amount of white.If there is not much white, then the interior will be too delicate, it is suitable only for girls or very romantic girls. But if you have enough white, you can safely talk about a normal and slightly neutral interior with soft notes.

If you are not taking delicate shades of lilac or purple, but more saturated, then they should already add a pastel palette in intense variations: saturated beige or coffee and other tones. That is, the darker the lilac and purple, the more intense the pastel palette should be. Otherwise, the interior will look rude.

Another subtlety is a sense of proportion. If you chose the airy atmosphere of delicate lilac (violet) with cream or other light pastel colors, then you should not use this combination in absolutely everything. Nevertheless, it is advisable to set some rich accents, but do not take other colors, so harmony and elegance will be lost. It is better to take accents of bright purple or lilac flowers. It is also rude and for some even the interior looks completely bright purple or saturated lilac with beige or coffee tones. If there is a desire to take precisely these shades, then let them be diluted with a small amount of soft lilac, delicate cream and other light shades of these colors. And we already talked about adding white. Then the room will be cozy and comfortable.

Most often, lilac is combined with pink, so it turns out a very gentle, light and unobtrusive atmosphere. If you make a bedroom in such a combination, you can get a very relaxing and soothing relaxation room. And if it is small, then this union is perfect, as it visually enlarges the space. But most often this tandem is used by girls for the children's room. Just do not make out the entire room in a similar form, otherwise it will be too cloying. It is better if it is one corner where, for example, the castle of the princess will be located. For the rest of the room, white, yellow or beige colors are suitable.

Nevertheless, sometimes a combination of purple and pink is used. And then it turns out oriental style interior. It is perfectly complemented by floral design in rich purple design. Here will reign freshness and peace.

Union of purple with in blue is very complicated. Therefore, most often they add white or pastel shades here. Using these colors is great for the bedroom, as both colors are relaxing. It is worth considering that the maximum atmosphere of relaxation can be achieved using sconces and table lamps. A light floor and furniture significantly brighten the room, making it more comfortable. In general, this combination is best used in large rooms to avoid a depressing effect. In contrast, it is worth noting that the duet of blue and light lilac is able to give the room height and depth, which is indispensable for small rooms.

Pure violet-black combination can be very gloomy and “otherworldly”. Therefore, other colors are sure to be added to it. More precisely, this duo is added to other colors: white, dairy, sand, beige, cream and so on. That is, light tones most often play the role of a background, sometimes violet and lilac can also be a background. And black emphasizes details, focuses attention and complements the picture, giving the interior sophistication.

Very often, this combination of colors is used to create hi-tech style claiming luxury or sophisticated minimalism. If the room has enough furniture, accessories and other things, then it is better to use more light colors. Otherwise, the room will overload.And, on the contrary, for a minimalist atmosphere, you can take darker tones.

Using these colors, you can create a strict and solid atmosphere, especially if you also add white color, which will add conciseness to the room. And purple and black will fill the room with depth and - if in a small amount - then with light mystery.

And if there is a desire to take these colors in large quantities, then saturated lilac and black, again pretty diluted with white, will do. To give the room dynamics you can alternate matte and glossy black surfaces.

The depth, mystery, mysticism and unreality of the violet color make it dangerous, but desirable. Depending on the presentation and combination, it can turn the interior into a magic castle or a luxurious penthouse. All in your hands.
