Purple color "in pure form" - bright and rich. It brings notes of grace, wealth, stability. But use it in the interior as the main one is too risky. It turns out too "heavy" furnishings. Stylish, elegant, but ... running quickly and far away.

Beautiful, but not for model apartments and not for cloudy weather
The main rule - with dark and rich shades should be neat, they look too gloomy in our latitudes. Few regions of our country can boast the abundance of sunny days "not in summer." Saturated purple or lilac - too gloomy for cloud weather. In addition, for typical apartments with low flows and not too spacious premises, they are too patoxy. So you will have to choose, most likely, from bright, pastel or, maybe bright.
What colors are combined
White, black and gray - these colors are out of competition, as compatible with any color. This is the base with which you will not be wrong. In purple gamma there is such a shade - purple. It is more red in it, so other shades are combined with him. The most successful combinations of purple with other colors are as follows:
- Red and blue . May be present together or separately. Purple color in the interior is better to combine with raspberry and coral and other clean red shades. The blue should be muffled or light. Purple wins next to bright pink and fuchsia, muted shades of red, but the blue should be "clean." Not necessarily bright, but without gray impurities.
Red, blue, turquoise - they all look great as accents and not only
- Green . From the green gamma is best combined with purple turquoise and its shades, the color of the sea wave. Purple is combined with malachite, olive, green apple color.
- Yellow . Purple is better combined with a pure yellow (egg yolk), suitable and other pure tones. It wins from combinations with gold, copper, brass color. For purpura, it is better to choose ocher-yellow-orange tones.
Yellow with purple - winning combination
- Beige . It is best to add sandy and cream. They will great allocate and slightly "muffled" the dominant purple color.
If we talk about combining with wood, it will be excellent to look at the breed of warm - yellowish and orange - tones. Oaks are also suitable in natural color and dark shades of the type of moraine oak, wenge, etc. The texture and color of the wood balance even bright, active tones.

In such tables there are combinations of two, three and four colors. They can be friendly (are in the spectrum nearby), contrasting (in opposite ends of the color circle), and can be simply different shades of one color.
Classic combinations of violet with other flowers
For self-development of the interior, it is better not to take more than three shades. This does not mean that only they must be present in the design. These are added to them in any quantity - white, black, gray, wood.
From white and "wooden" not going anywhere and they are almost always present. This is the floor and ceiling, window frames and some other decor and design elements. Gray and black is not in all interiors, but they are also frequent guests. So even if you choose a double composition from the table, "in Real" you will have four or six colors. More than enough for one interior. Even more - and there will be a motley of the messenger.
