Eggplant purple is one of those shades that coordinates beautifully with a wide variety of colors, depending on what purpose the room will serve. The perfect complement for this shade depends on the room, as what works well for a little girl’s bedroom might be out of place in a bachelor pad. Here are some ideas for complementing your choice of eggplant purple, whether it is an accessory, furniture item, paint choice, or something else.
Girl’s Bedroom
Most girls love an eggplant purple shade, and you can easily blend it in with the rest of the decor. Age can be a great way to decide the perfect complement for this color, such as a hot pink for little girls, with white or beige accessories. Older girls can have a sophisticated bedroom with eggplant purple, rich green, light beige, and touches of pink to represent femininity and maturity at the same time.
This shade makes a great primary shade, and you can add depth to an eggplant purple wall by adding a great border at the top or white molding at the top and bottom of the room. A bold eggplant purple makes a great choice when you are using a neutral floor choice, or plant to decorate with neutral accessories.
Dining Room/Living Room
A shade this deep and rich makes a great addition to any room, and there are dozens of shades that complement it perfectly. If you want to add to the bold statement, consider choosing rich blue or bright yellow as a complement to it. Bright shades of green also work well with this color, and they add a great contrast to the deep purple shade.
Because purple-in any shade-is often associated with royalty, you can accent the dining room or living room with metallic tones to represent luxury and class. Silver, gold, and even diamond white all complement the eggplant purple, and you can use more than one in the same room without looking tacky. This gives the appearance of wealth, something we all strive to achieve.
Bachelor Pad/Man’s Bedroom
It can be trickier to incorporate purple into the average bachelor pad or man’s bedroom, but it can make a great addition to a bland color palette. Consider the eggplant purple as an accessory, then add appealing blues, grays, greens, or browns to keep the masculine appearance overall. Even black and white can be highlighted with this shade, adding a touch of color to a dcor style that is very manly but still sophisticated and classy.
Just like in the living and/or dining room, metallic highlights or shades can easily be added to the deep eggplant purple for a great masculine area. For example, consider eggplant purple walls, with white molding top and bottom, black or beige furniture with metallic highlights, and finishing with purple and gray accessories. The room is manly and refined, the perfect space for bringing home someone special and making a great first impression.
