The bedroom is a room that is conducive to relaxation and immersion in one’s own thoughts. It is extremely important that the owner feels comfortable in this room.
When developing a design for such a room, you need to listen to your inner feelings and decide which color scheme is more preferable. Each person's answer will be individual. For example, a purple bedroom characterizes the owner as a person and requires careful design.
Peculiarities
Purple color combines blue and red pigments. The result depends on the predominance of one or the other. The shade and overall design can make the interior cozy and inspiring or depressing and depressing.
This color has long been loved by representatives of high society and is considered royal. Therefore, a bedroom in purple tones is a bold decision.
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the color purple has a direct effect on a person and is a cool shade. Therefore, it is often used in the interior by residents of hot countries. It also calms and is indicated for decorating rooms of easily excitable people.
The main rule of a purple bedroom is to dilute the main color and play with contrasts.
It is equally important to know that this color is great for children and adults, but is contraindicated for older people. You should also refrain from using it in large, cold rooms, as the purple color creates a cool microclimate.
Purple bedroom interior: fashionable solutions in different combinations
Blueberry, lilac, lavender, violet powder, heather, purple, plum, eggplant are just a few of the many shades of purple. The color of freshness, comfort and peace. A purple bedroom provides peace, comfort and elegance. Although it can be associated with a typically feminine interior, the right placement, choice of shades and accessories can also be combined with the masculine character of the design.
The purple bedroom is the choice of many. There is a reason! It is a calming and relaxing color. It's easier to fall asleep surrounded by purple, but that's not all! It is much easier to create a romantic atmosphere in such an interior.
Gray-violet bedroom
The combination of gray and purple is a safe solution. A purple bedroom with gray accessories exudes elegance, style and aesthetics. A white bed with a gray quilted headboard will look great. These two colors are a versatile combination that will surely suit the tastes of many of you. A purple bedroom can create a very feminine feel thanks to its delicacy and brightness of colors. This is certainly a very comfortable place, designed specifically for relaxation.

White and purple bedroom
White bedroom with purple accessories? It depends on you what color you want to introduce into the interior. Sometimes it's worth compromising and choosing white walls so that the additions define the purple color of the bedroom. In the interior of the design, you can insert small elements, such as pillows or poufs, that define the character of the design. Scandinavian style combined with purple is a great idea.
Selecting a shade
The tone of this color depends on the predominance of blue or red. In the first case it will be cold, in the second - warm.
For the latter, you can select colors:

Expert opinion
Olga Kovalenko
Since 2010 I have been engaged in interior design and architectural design.
The main rule of color design for a room is comfort. Fashion trends are secondary.
The most successful combinations
Violet shades are not often found in nature. This rich color can be seen in some petals, natural gemstones and minerals, and among the pigmentation of shellfish. Therefore, it is so important to correctly combine with other colors and not cause psychological rejection of the room.
Bedrooms decorated in monochrome colors look good, combining many shades of blue, light blue, lilac, pink and various purple intonations. This technique will allow you to create a gradient along the surface of the walls, add saturation using curtains, play with shades on the ceiling and floor, and choose pillows of different colors and sizes. The bedroom will sparkle like a noble stone in the light, with the most incredible colors.
Rooms where everything is built on contrasts with orange, yellow and even red look bright and impressive. When pairing with reds, preference should not be given to hot tones, but rather to rich but calm ones. Fiery colors will make the room somewhat dramatic and oppressive, and it will be very difficult to spend time in it. Soft pastel notes are much better suited. Soft plastic colors on walls, furniture and curtains will make the interior warmer and more comfortable.
The space where purple and natural shades merge looks amazingly harmonious: brown, gray, white, ocher, green. It is necessary to work with black carefully so that the room does not become oppressive and too gloomy, but using gray will make the bedroom incredibly stylish and noble.
The interweaving of purple and white is very sophisticated and fresh. White successfully removes excessive gloom and heaviness, making the room elegant. Different shades are suitable: from snow-white to pink-cream. But blues and blues suit everything - from heavenly to dark and deep. The same applies to all green shades. Nature makes these combinations very natural and harmonious. To prevent the bedroom from being gloomy, it is advisable to use dark colors of purple and soft forms of green.
The introduction of yellow greatly softens the design. Sandy, mustard, beige, and creamy options will look more pleasant, but lemon will be too harsh. Good options include all shades of brown. A purple bedroom will be wonderfully complemented by inserts of natural wood, stone, or simply the introduction of wood tones.
Selecting wallpaper
Purple wallpaper in the bedroom can completely transform the room. Also, a lot depends on the material. The market offers a varied selection: paper, vinyl, textile, foil.
But the owner of the bedroom, first of all, will rely on the budget, since the desired color and effect can be selected in any price range. And wear resistance and ease of gluing will depend on the material.
Paper ones will last less, but are considered the most environmentally friendly. The most common option is vinyl. It masks defects and uneven walls well and retains its original appearance for a long time.
Then you need to determine the shade of purple that will create the right mood in the bedroom: warm or cold. You should also decide on a color combination, choose a game of contrasts or soft transitions.
You need to take the wallpaper print especially seriously. A large one will eat a small room. Vertical stripes will make the ceiling higher.
The drawing will indicate the style:
- geometric details will suit a classic interior;
- high-tech uses pastel colors and clear lines;
- Shocking patterns will fit into art deco.
Purple bedroom with accompanying tones.
Purple and beige bedroom.
A bedroom in purple tones, complemented by muted notes of a beige palette, will be perceived as something bright and cozy. But here it is important to use the chosen shades correctly; the walls should be made in a beige tone, while furniture or textiles can be purple. You can also decorate the room as follows: purchase combined purple-beige wallpaper, a beige bed and bright purple curtains and bedspreads. The best examples of the compatibility of this palette are presented in the photo below.
Purple bedroom photo.
Purple and gold bedroom.
Royal interior, there is no other way to say it; such a palette seems to immerse you in the times of royal dynasties. A little kitsch won’t hurt, so you can safely choose a bed with a chic voluminous purple headboard, which is now incredibly popular, wallpaper in a combined lavender-gold palette and chic satin gold throws, as well as pillows with purple embroidery.
Purple-brown bedroom.
The brown color is intended to tame the raging rich purple tone. For example, the purple walls in the bedroom can be muted a little if you cover the floor with brown laminate, and also choose brown furniture (bed, wardrobe, bedside tables). Also, brown or bronze textiles will look great against purple walls, so don’t be afraid to buy bronze-colored curtains, floor carpets and bedspreads.
Purple and red bedroom.
A passionate red color will only highlight the brightness of purple. If you like everything bright and rich, then this palette will most likely appeal to you. But try to limit the amount of red tone; it will be enough to purchase several lamps with scarlet lampshades and a bright red floor carpet.
Purple and white bedroom.
This option for combining shades can be considered the best; white mutes purple, while purple makes white brighter. There is a whole field for creativity here, you can make all the walls purple, and choose furniture in a pure white tone; on the contrary, you can buy purple furniture and paint the walls white. It is also considered a fashionable trend to partially “paint” walls, for example, cover one wall with purple wallpaper, another with white, and the remaining ones with white with purple patterns. In addition, it cannot be said that lovers of light interiors can immerse the entire room in a light palette, and let only the bedspread remain purple.
Purple-lavender bedroom.
A romantic lavender shade pairs wonderfully with an overwhelming, domineering purple. Purple furniture is especially pleasant against the backdrop of discreet lavender walls; you can verify this fact by looking at the photos below.
Purple and black bedroom.
Black color makes the purple palette even darker, so if you are afraid that the interior will end up being too dark and gloomy, then it is better to abandon the idea of combining a black and purple palette. But be that as it may, these two shades look very chic and create some kind of special mysterious atmosphere, which is especially inherent in the bedroom.

Light colors are suitable for small rooms; they will go well with dark textiles for upholstered furniture and curtains. For this option, you can use dark purple accents. As a third color, soft pink, ash rose, or soft blue are perfect.
For an interior in such a color scheme, it is very important to choose the right furniture. There are not many options - light or white furnishings and the color of natural dark wood. Such solutions will be optimal for any environment, creating a cozy atmosphere.
White furniture is optimal for Provence or classic styles. The background decoration of the room should be rich, usually the walls are made in dark purple, and the cornices, baseboards, doors and windows are made in white. For textiles, a lighter shade of purple is used, and subtle patterns are allowed. Furniture can be pure white, patinated or varnished with a glossy sheen.

Purple color in decoration
The mood in the bedroom is created by the design of the surfaces and the filling of the room.
Walls
The shade of paint or wallpaper sets the overall direction of the style, and can also become the background or the main accent in the design. Lovers of dark or very bright purple should remember that it is not always appropriate. Over time, this decision can cause fatigue, pressure, and stress.
Therefore, it is recommended to decorate the walls with delicate shades of purple in the preferred range, and add brightness and expression with the help of accessories and textiles.
Furniture

In addition to the color scheme, it is important to adhere to the chosen style, which is expressed in lines, shapes, and details.
Textile
Purple fabric can also be the focal point of a bedroom. Lilac curtains, a plum bedspread, lavender pillows, a beetroot carpet, and a crisp white bed will create a feeling of freshness, additional space, comfort and warmth.
