Purple Hallway Paint

Why Choose Purple Hallway Paint?

Purple wall paint is a go-to choice for living rooms and bedrooms, but there's no reason why you can't use this stunning palette to transform a hallway. Although purples have a reputation for being luxurious, they're surprisingly versatile and can be used effectively in any home.

Dark purples are ideal if you're looking to create a moody ambiance. Richer pigments produce a cocooning effect, which will induce a feeling of relaxation every time you arrive home. To offset those darker tones, use a lighter purple or off-white for highlighting skirting boards, dado rails, and other features.

You can even use purples in a small space. If you're limited by square footage, opt for lilacs and lavender-infused shades that will leave your hallway feeling light and airy. If you still want to experiment with darker hues, think about reserving them for one wall to create a dramatic focal point.

You also won't struggle to select complementary colours when decorating with purple. Tans, greys, and pastels all work well with purple. Furthermore, opposites attract, so don't be scared of working a splash of yellow paint or golden tones into the mix. 

Our Favourite Purple Hallway Paint Colours

Have you decided that a purple palette is the way forward for your hallway makeover? Below are some of our favourite purple shades for you to consider. 

If you're wary of experimenting with a darker shade of purple, stick with something lighter. A lilac-infused shade like Violet Y344 will bring plenty of elegance to your hallway interior, but won't leave your space feeling overwhelmed. 

This soft grey shade has delicate lilac undertones that make it a fine fit for just about any space. It'll work well in narrow hallways with limited natural light, as well as more expansive entryways. 

You can keep your scheme simple with muted room accents in grey or white. Alternatively, play around with tonal shades. Darker lavender shades work particularly well with this paint colour, while rich jewel tones will also make a welcome addition to your interior.

If you want your hallway to be serene and welcoming, opt for a more muted purple. Minuet X344 is a perfect choice for those looking for a more low-key colour for their hallway makeover. This soft lavender is calm and soothing, but it's not lacking in purple pigment. 

You can use this premium shade to paint your entire hallway. If you're struggling with an awkward layout or narrow dimensions, think about offsetting it with a lighter neutral. When painting ceilings, stick to glossy whites for a crisp and clean contrast. 

This lavender paint colour is easy to coordinate with. When it comes to adding furniture, keep things simple with all-white pieces or introduce dark wood. If you're after a more contemporary finish, monochromatic pieces will also work well.

In the market for a darker purple? How about Lilac J426? As the name suggests, this lilac-infused paint shade isn't lacking in purple pigment. 

As it's on the darker side, you'll need to think carefully about the size and layout of your hallway. If your space receives little in the way of natural sunlight, it's a good idea to pair this one with light greys or pure whites to brighten things up. 

Thankfully, the richer colour profile broadens your horizons when it comes to selecting complementary colours and room accents. It'll look right at home alongside parquet flooring and dark woods. 

Want to make a statement? Spend a little more on vintage pieces made from high-quality woods like teak or walnut. Alternatively, adopt a monochromatic approach with filigree furniture in black and white. 

Many people find purple too vibrant for their liking. If you're looking for something a little more versatile, go with a colour like Charm S427. This pared-back purple shade is offset with delicate grey undertones, making it a flexible base for any hallway makeover. 

If your hallway is a fairly large space, you can be liberal when using this paint colour. If you're struggling with square footage, reserve it for feature walls and alcoves. Light greys, metallics and off-white shades all work well alongside this rich and refined purple paint. 

To create an elegant and inviting entryway, play around with premium light fixtures. The richer pigment of this purple paint colour will work nicely alongside uplighters and ornamental sconces. 

Searching for a more subtle take on purple? How about Antarctic Y348? Although closer to blue than purple, the muted grey undertones make this paint colour a stylish substitute for more daring shades. 

Fresh and airy, this beautiful shade will work well in smaller spaces. You can keep your design scheme simple with crisp whites and neutral complementary colours. Alternatively, create contrast with dark woods and monochromatic furniture. 

If you're feeling adventurous, why not make this paint colour just one addition to your palette? It'll work nicely as part of a tonal makeover, pairing well with dusky purples and pale pinks alike.

Dusky shades make a welcome addition to any hallway. They're feminine and elegant, serving as a stunning backdrop for more luxurious interiors. If you're searching for a fine foundation for your hallway, there are few better options than Shantung V481. 

This dusky purple will go down a storm with anybody who loves dark lavender and mauve shades. It's rich, but not so dark that it can't be used effectively in smaller spaces. It's also incredibly versatile, pairing well with everything from soft pink to aubergine. 

Once you've taken care of your hallway walls, turn to luxurious finishes to bring your space together. Metallic paint colours such as Copper and brass will work nicely alongside this wall colour, while slate grey and marble will add another dimension to your final design.
