Thijs de Leeuw/Space Content/Living Inside

While it may not be the most obvious or popular color in the rainbow when it comes to decorating, it is easily the most interesting. But what colors complement purple best?

Keep reading to discover which colors go best with purple to inspire your own interiors.

Red + Orange + Purple
Concrete gets a lot of flack for making a space feel cold rather than homey, while purple and red together have an unfair reputation for resembling a garish Valentine's Day card. But leave it to designer Briony Fitzgerald to prove all the nonbelievers wrong.

Mauve + Candy Pink
Interior designer Nicole Dohmen refers to this room as “the Glass House,” due to the expansive windows (it was used as a greenhouse in the home’s earlier years). The window treatments reflect the room's main colors: pink for the Roman shades to reflect the table and purple curtains to reflect the wall paint.
Studio DB
17 of 20
Dark Brown + Mulberry
The deep chocolate brown–purple hues in this study designed by Studio DB ensure a sense of intimacy and a suggestion of drama while still being timeless. The cooler blues in the painting bring in just a splash of contrast too.
Atelier ND
18 of 20
Rainbow!
This room designed by Atelier ND is exploding with fun colors. The objective was to use a pretty floral wallpaper, but to dress it down with items that made it look bold and modern rather than precious and dainty. The electric orange blinds, dark green carpet, yellow side table, and purple plaid bedspread bring an edgy Midcentury feel that gets the job done.
James Merrell
19 of 20
Pastel Yellow + Orchid
Designed by Katherine M. Ireland, these twin beds are topped with pastel purple-and-green canopies for a springlike touch. The canopy toppers offer a slight contrast in print but keep the Easter egg color story consistent. The more prominent hue, pastel yellow, goes so nicely with the purples throughout.

Turquoise + Red + Bright Purple
A statement wall or ceiling in a fun shade like amethyst is a great way to keep things fresh and interesting. We're loving how this ceiling contrasts with the rustic turquoise pieces and classic red barrel chairs in this cozy nook.
