Lavender Paint Colours

Planning on tackling a few painting projects around the house? Whatever room requires a refresh, gentle lavender is one colour worth considering. 

Boasting elements of blue, red and white, this gorgeous colour family is known for its soothing qualities. Looking to create a tranquil living space? A combination of light lavender and lilac might be the solution. 

The right shades can also enhance your spaces, turning an unloved room into an interior design masterpiece. These sophisticated purples can form the base for a beautiful living room or dining space. Paired with rich browns, jewel tones or red-based paints, it’s easy to achieve an elegant decor scheme you’ll love. 

At Tikkurila, you’ll find a spectacular range of lavender paint colours. Whether you’re looking to enrich an existing palette with a splash of something new or paint the length and width of an entire space, luxurious lavender is the way to go.

Our Favourite Lavender Paint Colours

Waking up the appeal of lavender? Below are just a handful of our favourite lavender shades for you to consider. 

If you’re looking for a classic take on lavender, think about using Minuet X344. A gorgeous alternative to traditional neutrals, one coat of this paint colour will leave your interiors looking like new again. 

You can use this lavender as an all-wall colour and use pure white to take care of those little details. Alternatively, think about reaching for a barely-there neutral enriched with delicate grey undertones. 

Searching for a more dramatic take on lavender? Tvt H344 is an obvious choice. Although a more vibrant option, it’s still fairly subdued, making it a welcome addition to any interior. 

This hue works well with classic white, but you can pair it just as effectively with violets, mauves and any other shade with purple undertones. 

Here’s another classic lavender we’re confident you’ll love. Although Tvt J344 is more low-key than some of our other colour options, it’s an ideal pick for bedrooms and relaxed living spaces. 

If you wish, you can make things more interesting by playing around with tonality. Complementary shades like heather and violet will both look right at home alongside this luxurious colour choice. 

Where Does Lavender Work Best?

Lavender has been a go-to colour choice for bedrooms for years. With its tranquil nature and calming qualities, it can help ensure a good night’s sleep. However, the bedroom isn’t the only place where this classic colour palette can be put to good use. 

Living rooms can also benefit from a lavender-infused makeover. If you’re decorating a small snug or sitting room, go with a lighter hue that can be mixed with pure white and neutral accents. In larger rooms, experiment with richer shades and earthy tones for more colour complexity. 

Dining room decor can also be enriched with lavender paint colours. Richer hues, especially those with more red in the mix, are ideal for creating an inviting ambience that’s essential in dining spaces. What’s more, these deeper colours pair well with natural materials like solid oak and walnut. 

You can even use lavender in the kitchen. Lighter tones work nicely in smaller spaces with all-white units. What’s more, lavender is surprisingly versatile, working well alongside metal fixtures or a black granite countertop with a high-gloss finish. 

Lavender Colour Schemes

Ready to work some interior design magic with lavender? Read on for some effective colour combinations that will redefine your rooms. 

If you’re thinking about decorating a bedroom, a subtle lavender like Minuet X344 is a good starting point. It’s very subdued, meaning you can use it generously on every wall. 

Rather than use pure white to balance things out, go with something like Winter V503 instead. This off-white is infused with a subtle hint of grey, which will play nicely with the cooler tones of lavender. 

Need something to accent a feature wall? Make an impression with Milkyway V493. This deep black shade is pretty intense, but blue undertones dial things down a little, making it a lavender-friendly choice.

If you’d rather use lavender as a supporting player, start a neutral instead. Snowdrift L503 is a versatile pick. This eye-catching white comes with a touch of blue, which will tie in nicely with lavender accents. 

Next, go with a blue-infused shade to enrich the calming ambience of your space. A colour like Cumulus Y354 is a good choice here. 

Now you’re finally ready to work some lavender into the mix. Once again, Minuet X344 is the way to go. This light hue is the perfect companion to blue, meaning you can use it as liberally as you like.

For a more sophisticated space, think about combining lavender with grey and green accents. First, start with a traditional lavender like Minuet X344 to coat your walls. 

Next, reach for a more refined grey. Something like Surf G500 will work nicely here, with its misty quality making for a more luxurious interior. 

Now you’re ready to bring a touch of green into the mix. Tide L491 works wonderfully with lavender thanks to its invigorating green and unmistakable blue hues. 

Pale lavender paint colours are a great way to give any room a relaxing vibe. If this is what you are looking for you are in luck. We have a few stunning shades to introduce you to from our expansive colour collection.

A classic pale lavender worth starting with is Tvt G347. This pale purple is one of our lightest paint colours that is sure to bring an airy vibe to your room. Alternatively going in a slightly different direction we have Tvt G356. This light lavender has a distinct blue vibe with the lavender being more of an undertone, still a great shade for a south-facing space.

While lavender paint colours can sit beautifully on their own, it is also possible to pair these delicate shades with other complementary colours to create beautiful colour schemes. You can be quite creative with the shades you choose to pair with lavender with, but to help get those creative juices flowing here are a few suggestions.

More delicate shades of lavender will benefit from being paired with a cool grey such as Homespun L498. This combo is perfect when dealing with lighter hues and can be a great way to give a room a sense of depth by using it as a feature wall.

Alternatively, we do Mirage G481. This hue is on the lighter side and brings a more calming vibe to your space. Try bringing Mirage together when you are playing with deeper examples of Lavender.

Going far deeper into the depths of what purple has to offer we have Lair X502 which is a luxurious jewel purple. Again, another one for the fainter lavender hues on the list.
