How to apply?
There are two ways to apply color. You can paint or wallpaper walls, ceilings, and choose a method that uses color as accents. In the second case, you can convey color through furniture and any interior items (for example, chandeliers, curtains, poufs, floor lamp, paintings, wallpaper).
Interior
Accents can be not only obvious, but also emphatically modest (a discreet pattern on bed linen or blanket textiles, decorative pillows, curtains, picture elements and even candles).
A feature of the use of color is the ability to use two lilac tones: one is lighter, the second is slightly brighter. This will relieve the bedroom from dullness and "revive" the overall picture. A lighter tone can be emphasized brighter (for example, to add warmth and joy to the design, you can add a small accent in fuchsia).
Walls and canvas
As for the walls, one of the most relevant modern techniques is the use of wallpaper. If earlier it was considered beautiful to decorate a wall with a single color and pattern, today this technique is outdated. It is better to use different shades - regardless of whether there is a print on the wallpaper or not.
It is not very difficult to convey the beauty of a lilac shade: you can accentuate the area above the bed, add a lighter tone around the edges and make the transition smooth with a third color. Considering this nuance, we must not forget that for the composition it is necessary to repeat the shades in the interior items.
If walls or a ceiling dominate, do not overload the lower part of the room with an abundance of colors. It is enough, for example, to convey harmony through curtain textiles, carpet pile or fresh flowers. It is easier to make the ceiling stretch. This way you can show not only the beauty of the color, but also the perfection of the surface.
Accent using a photo
Wall murals are an interesting design technique that can be used to demonstrate an idea and convey the desired mood. Often it is the photo wallpaper that helps to create the right atmosphere and give out the style of the bedroom. For example, sakura blossoms on the wall and delicate porcelain vases indicate Japanese style, delicate pink and lilac flowers hint at romance.

The drawing can take up the entire area of one wall or be its small accent, depending on the size of the room, the chosen style and theme. Choosing wallpaper in lilac colors is right.
If different motives are allowed in the wallpaper print (lace, stripes, geometry, flowers - and children have their own patterns), the most relevant themes for photo wallpaper are flowers, plants, sakura. No naked female bodies, sexuality is needed here: the general atmosphere speaks of the sublime. Such pictures will spoil the whole idea, because this is the "facade" of the room.
Used shades and tones in the interior
The choice of the shade of purple determines how the interior will look - warm or cold. The predominance of red will give the bedroom coziness, make the room softer, more feminine. The dominance of blue will add chill and severity to the interior.

For a particular style chosen, you should adhere to a certain range of shades, take into account the design and organization features. Also, each of the styles is characterized by its own degree of saturation of lilac.
The overall interior of an apartment or house becomes an influencing factor; it is important to create premises in the same solutions. Next, we will consider the popular options and their features in more detail
Classic
The classic assumes a cozy, calm atmosphere, not weighted down by bright details and innovations. Expensive natural wood furniture with carved elements will be appropriate. It is better to make the ceiling snow-white or light beige, the presence of stucco is welcomed. It is desirable to finish the walls with light materials. In the traditional style, it is more profitable to combine with brown or golden. You can cover the legs of a massive bed or the headboard with gilding. Put golden candlesticks, shiny lamps, sconces as a decor.
Modern
The contemporary style is not limited to the flight of fantasy and includes bold, original interpretations of purple. High-tech is characterized by clear lines and correct geometry, complemented by metal details. Saturated colors can overlap with black, white, red tones, the main thing is not to allow deep tones to mix into one continuous spot. Lighting should be well thought out to reveal the sensuality and magic of color. In modern design, glossy surfaces will be successful, and the decor should be selected as minimal.
Provence
Provence can be organized for a spacious room, since you have to take into account a lot of decor and small details. A romantic rustic design is created using light lavender, pale violet tones. The shades should resemble field grasses burnt out under the hot sun and be as muted as possible. The walls can be pasted over with light lilac wallpaper with vertical stripes, or a medium-sized pattern. Make the ceiling white, cover the floor with natural materials.
Original examples
Not everyone can create real harmony in such a complex space. Honor and praise to the designer who brought this idea to life. The burgundy bedspread and wall trim were intermediate between the lilac ceiling and the brown floor. In another zone, the green color of the plants became this barrier between the lilac partition and the brown furniture legs. It seems that a door is being kicked out of this story, but the decorator probably has an explanation for this.
Here is the case when the balance between shades is respected. If the ceiling were a little darker, then the room would look darker, more fragmented. Now all the colors complement each other, leaving room for space and thoughts. Ideas with such a plot for photo wallpapers in this interior are really original: lilac, olive, pistachio tune for the future, autumn foliage always symbolizes the outgoing.
Despite the fact that the main color of the bedroom is lilac, due to the competent illumination it becomes silvery. A very interesting idea of lighting, coupled with the reflective surface of the cabinet, caused the color to disintegrate into many shades.

Harmonious combination of purple with other colors
Crucial to creating a unique, colorful design depends on the right color combination. Decide which color will take the predominant place in the room, and which one will become a companion and emphasize dignity. Consider successful duets for the bedroom, which are popular in the projects of specialists:
A delicate combination is created with white, which is relevant for a small room. White tone will emphasize complex lilacs, reveal tenderness and romanticism. This interaction contributes to comfort and coziness, relaxation before bedtime. White tone can also become the main one.
A balanced combination can be made with gray and beige. Such a design will not be too catchy, balanced, will testify to the excellent taste of the owner. As accents, you can choose lilac curtains, a plaid, highlight one of the walls of the room with bright wallpaper.
An amazing harmony will be created with brown, because this tone will muffle a riot of colors. In this case, you can pick up a brown flooring, add furniture made of natural dark wood, put a neat table with a smooth-textured table top.
With red, a passionate, intense combination is obtained. More suitable for lovers of bright, flashy shades
The balance of red must be thought out with care, correctly observing the proportions. You can buy scarlet bedside lamps, or lay a carpet with scarlet patterns on the floor.
With gold, you can make a truly royal design that will look chic in a classic bedroom.
You can accentuate the golden notes with the help of golden lamps, satin pillows, a smooth blanket. It is advisable to include golden legs of the bed, a bedside table, and gilded decorations in the setting.
Decorating secrets
Regardless of the style, the lilac design creates a feeling of lightness, weightlessness, being outside of space, time and place. It is through visual perception that the shade has a strong psychophysiological effect on a person's consciousness, actively providing a state of relaxation.
Monochromatic design
Pale lilac pastels are used as the basis for monochrome bedroom design. Against its background, the interior details made up of multiple shades of purple - lilac, plum, blackberry, look voluminous and weightless. They fill the room with a gentle haze of comfort, veiling the clarity of form, creating a dreamlike setting.
The main thing is that the tint range of the decorations is not too saturated. This can lead to a feeling of lack of comfort. It is best to cover the walls with a delicate tone of blooming lavender, giving preference to lighter shades. In this case, the tone of the textiles - curtains, furniture upholstery, bedspreads and bed linen - should be slightly richer. Pink-lilac upholstery is successfully combined with the pale lilac walls. This is the perfect design option for a modern honeymoon bedroom.
Combination with neutral tones
Pale shades of gray, cream and coffee pastels, combined with a pale lilac background, will create the impression of fuzzy and blurred forms of the environment. The pallor of the decor palette will deprive the bedroom of the effect of completeness, if you do not add contrasting accents in complementary colors to the interior - yellow, olive, salad.
Contrast in the interior of the bedroom
The ideal contrast for a rich lilac palette is white and all its shades. This combination allows you to create a cute and fabulously cozy atmosphere in the interior of the bedroom.
It should be remembered that the more spacious the room, the richer the main background should be, and vice versa. For small bedrooms, the color of the walls should be the most delicate shades. And for decorative elements, faded shades of blue, light green, silver-white are used.
Use in the design of rooms
It is good not only to create an interior with the color of lilac and lavender, but also to decorate it using curtains, vases, a blanket, natural and artificial flowers, pillows, toys, panels, a sofa - a bright accent, a noticeable detail. In small quantities, the color can be more saturated. But if the area of the color is larger, then it needs to be muted: the bed, walls, kitchen set, either use pastel colors, or combine with pastel shades of other colors.
Children
Lavender, violet, rich lilac - even if only panels with these shades hang in the nursery - this is already good, because these are the colors of childhood and adolescence. By the way, lilac relieves fears at a subconscious level. Delicate floral shades are best combined with pink, lemon for girls and blue, beige, yellow, pistachio for boys. But nurseries for newborns are very often decorated in a white and lilac color.
A feeling of tenderness for a girl's room can be created using airy tulle. A guy's room can be furnished with more austere furniture, put a pillow chair on the floor, or hang a poster in this color scheme. Since color is responsible for creativity, it should contribute to the mental and creative activity of children.
Hallway
The choice of color for the hallway depends on its size: a small entrance room should be the least vulnerable to dirt and defects. Therefore, it is better not to use pure lilac tones on the walls in such a room. Let it be decorative elements or wallpaper, where this color is secondary. But in large hallways, a very interesting design can be obtained in combination with brown or beige furniture.
Bathroom
Where, if not in the bathroom, can you smell lavender or lilac? And where there is a smell, there is a color. Wall and floor tiles can contain a pattern with a branch of lilac or mountain lavender. And in fact, and in another case, it will most likely be green as an additional, and this will have a relaxing effect. But the marbled tile looks no worse against the background of monochromatic lilac walls. But the room should not be dark, because this is a place of solitude and relaxation. Or a rich lilac glossy ceiling can be lightened with built-in spotlights, good lighting. The dark tone of lilac in the bathroom can be set off with blue or turquoise sconces, pistachio sinks or bathtubs. In a small bathroom, you should not choose bright red-orange shades.
Living room
Depending on the style chosen, as well as the degree of illumination, darker tones can be chosen for the hall. The lighter the room, the darker the shade can be. And although lilac is a self-sufficient color, the palette of its shades or combination with companions will look more interesting in a large room. For any age and gender, you can choose an interesting design option. If you are afraid of drastic solutions in the form of wallpaper and ceilings, then try to start with less - a picture, a carpet, lamps.
Due to the texture of textiles, the living room can turn out to be soft, tender, caring, good-natured or formal, cool, arrogant. If desired, such decorative elements can be unusually combined. The main thing is that the set of shades and their saturation are balanced.
Bedroom
This room is the most popular place in the house, which is why it should be relaxing, not depressing. There should be no feeling of melancholy. But if the room faces the sunny side, then lilac with a bias to blue will make it visually cooler. Often, point decor in lilac tones is chosen for the bedroom: a bedspread, wallpaper on one wall in the form of a panel, wall sconces, paintings, dummies, tulle or curtains.Wallpaper or bed linen in a light lilac floral palette will look great. A small amount of bright purple and green will make the overall look more expressive.

A combination with green, orange, yellow will be beneficial. A special chic will be a white and lilac kitchen set or a black and lilac kitchen. Depending on the selected style, the colors can be monochromatic or in a small (large) pattern. Lilac is believed to suppress appetite.

In small kitchens, you should not make a dark lilac ceiling, and indeed use dark shades.
