5 Ways to Incorporate Purple into Your Home Without Overdoing It!

The truth? When styled thoughtfully, purple can completely transform a space, adding a touch of personality and warmth that feels both luxurious and inviting.

🛋️ 1. Add a Pop of Purple in the Living Room

The living room is where purple truly shines. It’s often the first space guests see, so a touch of colour can make a big impact without feeling overwhelming.

Start small:

• Introduce purple accent cushions on a neutral sofa - think beige, grey, or cream.
• Add a lavender vase or purple candle on your coffee table to tie the look together.
• If you’re feeling adventurous, hang a statement wall art with purple tones to create a focal point.

✨ Tip: Choose one hero shade (like mauve or plum) and repeat it subtly across a few décor elements for a cohesive look.

🛏️ 2. Create a Calming Sanctuary in the Bedroom

Your bedroom should feel like a retreat - calm, restful, and yours. That’s exactly what purple can do.
Soft purples like lavender, lilac, and heather promote relaxation and serenity.

How to style it:

• Use purple bedding or throws to layer texture and warmth.
• Add a lavender-scented candle on the bedside table for a spa-like ambience.
• A purple glass vase with fresh blooms brings nature and colour together effortlessly.

🪷 Style Tip: Pair purple with white, taupe, or muted gold accents for a soothing, dreamy bedroom look that feels fresh even in the Aussie summer heat.

🚿 3. Bring Subtle Sophistication to the Bathroom

Bathrooms are often forgotten when it comes to decor - but that’s where a pop of purple can surprise and delight.

Try this:

• Swap your plain towels for soft lilac or amethyst ones.
• Place a purple glass soap dispenser or candle near the sink for a luxe touch.
• Display a small vase with lavender sprigs or orchids for natural texture.

💡 Quick idea: If your bathroom is mostly white or grey (like most Aussie builds), purple accents will instantly make it look designer - without a full renovation!

🍽️ 4. Elevate Your Dining or Kitchen Space

Purple might not be the first colour that comes to mind for dining rooms or kitchens - but when used right, it adds unexpected sophistication.

Ideas to try:

• A plum or lilac table runner for dinner parties.
• Purple candles or vases as a centrepiece.
• If you’re bold, a single purple feature chair in a timber or marble setting adds modern flair.

🌿 Pair with: greenery, silver accents, or white crockery to balance the palette.
Purple + green is one of nature’s most beautiful combinations - think lavender fields against lush leaves.

🌿 5. Use Purple as the “Finishing Touch”

Not every space needs a big purple statement - sometimes, it’s the subtle details that tie everything together.

Consider:

• A purple doormat, framed art print, or decorative orb on a shelf.
• A lavender candle burning in the entryway for a soft, welcoming scent.
• A purple planter for indoor plants to bring life and personality.

💬 Pro Tip: If you’re nervous about colour, start with small accessories. Purple naturally draws attention - so even one or two pieces can make your home look intentionally styled.

🏡 Why Purple Works So Well in Australian Homes

Australia’s light is bright and natural - perfect for purple tones to really come alive.
Purple pairs beautifully with natural woods, whites, greys, and golds, making it versatile for both coastal and city interiors.

From Melbourne’s chic minimalism to Sydney’s breezy apartments and Adelaide’s cosy cottages, purple feels modern yet timeless in every setting.
