28 Purple Kitchen Ideas for a Bold and Beautiful Space

While purple is a color that may seem unexpected to use in the kitchen, it's an excellent choice for anyone who is looking to add plenty of life to their cooking space, whether in large or small doses. Purple is a cheerful hue that can be used on islands, cabinets, walls, and more.

Below, you'll find 28 gorgeous purple kitchens that may just influence you to bring the color into your own home.

Coat Your Cabinets

Rich purple cabinets shine in this small but mighty kitchen, which features a soft pink backsplash that complements the color wonderfully. Even the cabinet pulls are painted purple; a perfect finishing touch.

Bring on the Pep

Bring on the pep in the kitchen—with all of the time you'll spend in your cooking space, you'll want to make sure that it reflects your personality. Here, a floral accent wall and bright purple cabinets are tons of fun.

Hang a Purple Curtain

Purple curtains and all sorts of vibrant pieces add tons of energy to this funky kitchen.

Try Purple Chairs at the Table

Maybe you're drawn to purple but don't want to go all in and coat your kitchen with the hue. In that case, consider purple seating. Plush purple dining chairs add an element of the unexpected without being too daring.

Install a Purple Backsplash

Say goodbye to boring backsplashes and have a bit of fun with purple. This herringbone style of tile is classic and chic, and the contemporary color is sure to be a hit.

Paint the Island

If you're looking to ease into the color purple, you can paint just the island purple and leave the rest of your kitchen neutral. This approach really allows the island to become a focal point of the room.

Use Purple Stools at the Island

No dining table? Try purple bar stools instead. These are a lighter lavender color, which pairs nicely with the soft wood tones in the space.

Opt for Grayish Purple

A purple wall, which almost reads gray in tone, adds character to this otherwise all-cream kitchen. This shade is perfect for neutral and minimal spaces since it won't be too bright.

Choose Two Purples for the Kitchen

There's no reason you can't choose to weave two colors of purple into your kitchen. In this space, a lighter purple is used on the island while a more rich eggplant stands out on a wall of panel appliances and cabinets.

Hang a Large Piece of Purple Art

If you're unable to paint, you can still bring purple into your kitchen in the form of artwork. The bigger, the better, and the more dramatic. An abstract piece like this one is bound to be a head-turner.

Lay Down a Purple Rug

Similarly, a kitchen rug is a nice way to play with color without making any permanent changes. Renters in particular will appreciate how easily a rug can shape a space without leaving any sort of long-term footprint.

Go for a Moody Deep Plum

For a sophisticated look, opt for deep plum cabinets like these, which are rich in tone and almost appear to be brown from some angles.

Make It Mauve

Mauve is a beautiful color that we don't see used as often but shouldn't be forgotten about nonetheless. It's a lovely choice for a backsplash especially against wooden accents because it allows for them to stand out.

Go Glam

For a finishing touch, add curtains in the kitchen. These lavender panels contribute to this glam kitchen's elegant look.

Pair Purple With Wood

Purple cabinets paired with wood tops add a sense of warmth to this small kitchen. This proves the color purple can be versatile depending on what decor accents it's complemented with.

Bring on the Brass Hardware

Pull up a seat and enjoy a meal at this purple island. The brass hardware used pops and elevates the space, creating a luxe look.

Mix and Match Various Colors

If you crave a bright kitchen, feel free to mix in other happy hues like pink, orange, yellow, and more for a playful effect. To keep the look going, hang artwork on the wall that reflects these cheerful tones as well.

Make Over Your Hutch

No kitchen is complete without plenty of storage, and if you have a hutch that could use a makeover, why not paint it purple? It'll surely be the star of the show.

Think Pastel Purple

Pastel purple isn't just for kids's rooms and can look excellent in the kitchen as well. Style this shade with neutrals or work in some pops of green, as illustrated on the backsplash here.

Pick Two Favorites

Here is another example of going two-toned in the kitchen and combining a few shades of purple together in one space. The more, the merrier!

Be Bright

Rich, bright purple is enchanting and has almost a magical quality about it. Black countertops help to ground this colorful space.

Don't Forget a Purple Backsplash

A purple tile backsplash looks great on its own, but when paired with accompanying purple cabinets, it has an even more festive feel.

Style Purple With Green

Purple and green go hand in hand in this spacious kitchen, which contains plenty of cabinets for glassware storage. Let your utilitarian objects double as art.

Use Contact Paper

Believe it or not, these cabinets are covered with purple contact paper. This approach is renter-friendly and is also ideal for those who like to switch up their color scheme often.

Get Colorful at the Table

Don't worry if your dining set is mismatched—spray paint each chair a different color to make the setup look intentional.

Try Lavender and Marble

Lavender and marble make for a luxurious combination in the kitchen, while gray accents warm up the space.

Paint the Ceiling Purple

Don't forget about the ceiling—yes, even in the kitchen! The bright purple is sure to draw everyone's eyes upward. If your kitchen often gets tons of natural light, drape some sheer curtains to create a whimsical look.

Get Eclectic

Light purple cabinets, a blue island, and patterned kitchen floors, oh my—there's no such thing as too much color in this kitchen, which certainly doesn't take itself too seriously.
