How to Style: Lilac

October 15, 2024

Meet our pretty purple, Lilac.

Lilac adds a sense of calm, playfulness or sophistication to a space, depending on how you style it. Whether you're looking to brighten up a kid's playroom or add a bold design piece to your living space, this versatile colour is a perfect choice.

"Lilac is a dusky pale purple, a dreamy shade that always looks oh-so-lovely. It's a match made in heaven next to our other pastel colours but also works really well as an accent piece in neutral spaces." — Becca

Here are some of our favourite ways to style a Lilac locker in your space.

Mix and match Lilac with our collection of pastel colours to bring your ice cream interior dreams to life! We love styling Lilac with Ocean, Blush and Sage to create a dreamy space. If you're looking to bring pastels into your space in a more subtle way, look no further than our extras. Use The Baskets in our pastel colours to help you organise, or The Hangers to brighten your wardrobe. It might just be the little pastel pop you need!

neutral + natural

Adding Lilac to your home may seem like a pretty bold option at first, but when paired with the right palette, it can create a really calming and sophisticated vibe. Try pairing your Lilac locker with neutral shades like white and lots of natural timber pieces to create a perfect balance of texture and colours in your space. Minimal doesn't have to just be white-on-white. It's about confidently sticking to a refined selection of colours while letting the materials do the talking.

So, we have a serious crush on Lilac and Blush together, they complement each other like icing on a cupcake! Seriously, they just look so soft and pretty, it's calming but playful and totally makes us want to redecorate! Paint your walls blush pink to really dive right into the powdery look or bring in bubblegum linen, cushions or accessories to layer the pink in smaller doses. If you want to make your space even more lovely, we can't go past adorning your Lilac locker with a bunch of fresh flowers. It's the perfect finishing touch that will make everything look oh-so whimsical and dreamy.
