The color lilac has a special magical power - it attracts the eye. It is not for nothing that ancient magicians and sorcerers loved to use it in the decoration of clothing and homes. But today this color is credited with more modest abilities, such as creating purity around oneself and a romantic mood. Psychologists believe that only creative and artistic people are able to create a lilac design in their bathroom.
The main advantage of the lilac color in design is its special compatibility with other shades in the interior. It can give an elegant luxury and at the same time a simple and delicate look to the room. Being a light derivative of purple, it most attracts the female audience.
Combining lilac tone with other colors
Lilac, like violet, is associated primarily with lavender. Therefore, it is quite natural to combine this color with green, light green or similar shades. The most ideal is to use a beige background and combine light green and purple shades. Moreover, green does not have to be an element of the cladding; plants or accessories are enough.
The photo shows how winning this design combination is.
The most suitable color for a joint tandem design with lilac is a white tone. This is not surprising, because white is a universal color that favorably emphasizes the base shade. This composition is widely used in the classical style and Provence.
Black can be added with caution. If the composition looks amazing with a lilac tone, then with a violet or other violet tone the room will become dark.
Lilac and pink are similar in tonality, making a very delicate and rather feminine combination. If you want to add brightness, you can use red, but you need to act carefully so that the interior design does not become annoying later.
Lilac and brown tones help add coziness and warmth to the bathroom.
They balance each other, softening the coolness of dark shades and not causing disgust from bright ones.
What is the effect of the color purple on people?
The color violet is based on two tones: red means strength, power, flow of energy, movement, while blue is associated with calm, comfort and balance. Thus, purple has a strong psychological impact, reflecting the union of soul and body, softness and strength, severity and homeliness.
The color violet simultaneously carries both strength and softness; it is a symbol of the unity of the physical and spiritual principles. It is even used for medicinal purposes: for neuroses, heart problems, high blood pressure, and also to improve vision.
Purple has many subtones and shades, each of which can give the interior a certain meaning:
- Warm: eggplant, orchid, lavender.
- Cold: amethyst, purple, plum, blueberry, lilac.
- Neutrals: lilac, thistle, fuchsia, indigo.
Important!
Surrounding colors can influence our state, mood and peace of mind. Some shades can even have a healing effect, for example, lilac and deep violet are used for the prevention and treatment of high blood pressure, neurological diseases and heart disease.
Types of bathroom materials and finishes
Using ceramic tiles has many positive aspects:
- Durable;
- Beautiful;
- Different sizes;
- Easy to clean and less dirty.
And most importantly for design, you can create stunning combinations with tiles. As a rule, dark tiles are laid on the floor, and the walls are made up of several shades. But you can always ignore the rules and, in the case of creating a visual increase in space, use lines of dark colors along the perimeter or from floor to ceiling.
The use of marble tiles plays a huge role in creating a luxurious and at the same time cozy design. The patterns on its surface are so beautiful and natural that they do not require additional decoration. In addition, marble can compete in its characteristics with tiles, since it also has a certain set of qualities necessary for the bathroom.
A cheaper alternative is wallpaper, but you cannot use roll wallpaper, as moisture will instantly cause it to become unusable or fall off completely. Liquid wallpaper can be considered as a good option, but they are also not recommended for use in areas of direct contact with water. That is, the area near the washbasin, bathtub or shower will still have to be decorated with tiles or plastic panels.
Plastic panels have gained wide popularity because they are easy to use, easy to install and dismantle, and also look very good. The panels are mounted on an aluminum profile to prevent rust. It should be noted that they are easy to damage because the layer of plastic is very small.
Furniture and bathroom accessories in lilac tone
If the bathroom is made in a classic style, then the furniture is accordingly standard, especially for the toilet and bathtub. All household appliances that are planned to be installed in the bathroom must be hidden behind false panels. This will make the design more beautiful and hide the whole everyday life. In this case, faucets and handles are installed with imitation gold or bronze.
The minimalist style has its quirks, and one of them is that the furnishings in the bathroom should be modest and with a minimum number of accessories. In such rooms, cold colors are most often used, and decorated with plastic, glass and metal elements, so chrome faucets and hangers in the form of hooks will be an excellent solution.
For small bathrooms, the best option is a shower stall with glass partitions to prevent water from splashing throughout the room. Modern technologies make it possible to turn plexiglass into a real work of art and apply patterns to it. They can become a continuation of the patterns on the tiles or be an independent element.
When planning the installation of a bathtub, you definitely need to pay attention to its size and depth. Modern sanitary ware manufacturers offer bathtubs made of various materials and various shapes.

Bathroom textiles
It is impossible to do without accessories, because they serve to decorate and give the image, in this case the interior, individuality and a special zest. In a lilac bathroom, accessories can be towels, curtains, curtains or other, less useful decorative elements. In terms of colors, you need to focus on the shades that were used in the cladding. If the room is close to light colors, then it is natural that the towels and curtains will be several shades darker. If, on the contrary, colors close to violet were used for the walls and floors, then the accessories should be highlighted against the general background using a light palette.
In a separate bathroom, the toilet floor is covered with a rug. It is very beautiful and convenient, but not always hygienic. The same is true in the bathroom - buying a floor mat should be conscious. Often, for ease of use, the rug is textile and has a large pile. Since the bathroom is a fairly humid room, all moisture, splashes and water will linger on it. Poor ventilation promotes mold growth.
Bathroom as a relaxation zone
Combinations of lilac and light green can give the interior an atmosphere of calm and freshness. The base is a lilac surface finish. The furniture in this case is used in beige shades.
All accessories, towels and some of the trim around the sink and bathtub should be plum in color. But mosaics, small accessories and rugs are better if they are made in light green or emerald color.
Advice! The mood in such a bathroom is created with the help of scented candles and bouquets of lavender.
Practical advice
Mold is a person's biggest enemy in the bathroom because it grows slowly and is difficult to remove. But thanks to the use of special tools, impossible situations do not exist.
This is not to say that a lilac bathroom is more dirty than others. Cleaners for tiles and tiles will help remove all stains, dirt, etc.
When washing, you should not use abrasive agents, as coarse particles can damage the glossy surface of the facing material.

Violet, violet, lilac and other derivatives of the same color delight me. A lavender bathroom was a dream of mine that I turned into a reality. The combination of beige and violet is very beautiful. I even found a lilac toilet. On one wall we have patterns that are harmoniously repeated on the walls of the shower stall. The combination turns out to be extraordinary.

Our bathroom is lined with plastic panels - beautiful, cheap and cheerful. Dirt is easily wiped off, and the panels can withstand the effects of detergents. I recommend it to all those who do not strive for pathos and luxury, but prefer practical options.
Martha
We have a separate toilet and bathroom, but I wanted to somehow combine them. I didn’t want to completely break down the wall, because I prefer to see the toilet as a separate room. Therefore, I decided to use one color scheme. The toilet floor turned out to be dark purple, and the walls were combined. The bathroom is the same, but the tiles on the walls are slightly different. It turned out great.
Interior design features
