Purple Reigns Again: How to Incorporate Purple Tones Into Your Kitchen Makeover

While purple may initially seem like a tricky colour to incorporate into a stylish kitchen makeover, its many different shades and tones can bring plenty of character to both traditional and modern properties alike.

Why Purple is a Great Choice for Your Kitchen Makeover

It creates a dreamy kitchen with laid back lavender tones 

Instantly relaxing and beautifully easy on the eye, lavender tones are perfect for creating a laid-back space that feels comforting and soothing. If you want to bring out the inherent sense of playfulness in lavender tones, incorporating flashes of pastel pink and emerald green will create a joyful colour palette that’s perfect for a multi-functional kitchen space.

Pro Tip: In a space with lavender coloured walls, choose dusky pink kitchen cabinet doors and emerald green accessories for a kitchen that feels harmonious, fun and inviting all at the same time. A natural wood floor, white door frames and sleek black metal lighting fixtures can keep the space grounded without taking away from its modern edge.

It enhances the richness of your kitchen with burgundy hues

With wine coloured undertones, burgundy is a colour that is impactful without being overwhelming and enables you to create a kitchen that feels sophisticated, grown up and full of personality. 

Excitingly, burgundy is a colour you can use sparingly or in abundance. Burgundy walls work beautifully when paired with warm wood tones and light earthy hues, with flashes of greenery providing a touch of contrast in all the right ways.

But you could also choose to use burgundy as an accent colour, through soft furnishings in a comfortable seating nook, curtains dressing your windows, or substantial rugs bringing warmth to a charming wooden floor.

It creates a cute kitchen makeover with striking mauve tones 

Preppy and super cute, pale mauve hues are gentle yet striking, with a boldness that instantly captures attention. One of the best ways to get the most out of mauve is to pair it with other pastel tones, including pistachio green, light sky blue, and delicate seashell pink.

To amp up the cute factor even more, accessorise your space with scalloped edge detailing, sheer lace window coverings, a delicate chandelier above your kitchen island or dining table, and fresh flowers on every surface.

It explores the dark side with deep plum hues 

Deep plum tones can sometimes look almost black in certain lights, which can steer people away from this beautifully luxe looking purple colour. But with the right shade of plum and carefully chosen accent colours, this deep tone can give your kitchen makeover a sense of luxury while treading the fine line between traditional and contemporary design.

Plum walls provide a striking backdrop for crisp white or even dusky pink kitchen cupboard doors. In an ultra-modern space you may prefer to choose sleek slab style doors with a light-reflecting gloss finish, however if you want to lean into elements of traditional design, panelled doors such as the Bella Stratford with a matt finish can bring a touch of traditional elegance while still feeling fresh and modern.

It brings warmth to your kitchen makeover with multi-tonal purple hues 

For those who love a neutral colour palette but want to use colour to infuse some extra warmth into your kitchen space, purple tones can achieve this while also enhancing a relaxing and comfortable ambience. 

Pair rattan and light oak tones with muted lilac and lavender tones, and bring contrast with flashes of rich burgundy and deep plum. To retain a modern edge, style your space with glass vases filled with greenery or fresh flowers, ceramic candle holders, and black lighting fixtures. 

Pro Tip: Enhance the comforting and relaxing atmosphere by layering different textures, including plush velvet, beautifully woven rugs, tactile linen and ribbed corduroy.
