Purple color: from the dramatic and mysterious, to cheerful and playful

The brilliant rose was the star of 2023, but this year the purple color has a spectacular return in the tendencies and preferences of the interior design.

From the orchid purple powder to a pure shade of lilac: the variety of shades extends from these more faded mounds to more bold berries, offering the possibility of creating a wide range of different styles in our homes, from relaxation and relaxing intense and dramatic.

People often consider violating a mysterious, spiritual and creativity color. It is a shadow that rarely appears in nature, therefore perceived as very intriguing. However, despite its versatility in the interior design, the purple decoration is sometimes neglected. However, harmoniously integrated, Violet can create interesting chromatic schemes that will leave a lasting impression at home.

Discover the elegance of closed shades

Decorating with closed purple is a wonderful choice for a living room or bedroom in which an intimate atmosphere reigns.

If you want to bring a splash of drama and elegance, we advise you to opt for a dark purple, such as Black Raspberry 2072-20 of Benjamin Moore. It is possible to amplify the effect of this color by applying the paint on the whole wall, from the floor to the ceiling and you can add depths using metal accents, such as gold or copper, which can be easily introduced through lighting or decorative elements. These elegant metals will distinguish themselves on a closed background and reflect the light to create a luxurious final result.

To emphasize the effect of saturated shades, consider the use of a paint with a lucid finish (shiny).

In the same way that a mirror creates an illusion of space, the finishing of a higher lucid paint deceives the eye to believe that a room is larger or more bright than it is in reality. Used by the ceiling floor, it will add a smaller cameras impact, such as storage rooms or storage spaces.

If a painting of a wall from the floor to the ceiling seems too overwhelming for you, but you are still attracted to the darker and more saturated shades, consider the association with another color: many shades correspond to the purple, but the graces and neutrals, in particular, will balance it.

Relaxing effects of open purple shades

The open and pale purple shades have continued to grow in popularity and are now considered some of the latest trends in «new neutral colors».

They bring a note of optimism and positivity in space and are an ideal «partner» for pink, blue and green, adding depths or energy, depending on the shadow of the chosen purple.

For a relaxing sensation, choose a closer viola on the blue or gray colors wheel: extinct tones creates a more neutral, natural and a «quieter» atmosphere. And our recommendation is the shadow Lilac Nebuloso 2116-40 of Benjamin Moore – A color that is also part of the trends of the 2024 color paint palette!

Opt for a tonal scheme is an easy way to connect all design elements. Integrate the plot levels through elements of furniture or decorative objects to visually create a more interesting space.

At the opposite end of the Violet spectrum, compared to the more saturated shades, there is the shadow of the purple lilac. Warm and welcoming, with a female note, the Viola del Lilla is known for its calming qualities and the positive energy it evokes.

Despite its pink accents, Viola Lilla is a color that is located on the cold side of the spectrum, so it works better in the southern rooms and in space with natural light.

Violet, therefore, in all its varieties: from its most delicate real, it offers a wide range of possibilities to create surprising and memorable spaces in your home. Whether you prefer something bold or rather thin, certainly in the Benjamin Moore paint range you will find the perfect purple shade for you.

So, don’t be afraid to experience and discover the magic of this color!
