This reddish-violet shade can make a bold statement in any room

Using a bold colour in any part of the home’s décor can make a powerful style statement! But, it can also be tricky to figure out the best way to go back it. Used incorrectly, it could make a space look gaudy or overpower the rest of the interiors. Whether it's for the living room, the home bar or the bedroom, we decode the best combination with the colour magenta for every space in any Indian home.

1. CHOOSE A SOFA FOR THE BEST COMBINATION WITH MAGENTA COLOUR

Magenta is a striking shade that is best described as a pinky-purple or a reddish violet. If you are looking for inspiration for room colour ideas, magenta can create a visual impact, make a bold statement and bring in a striking design energy in any space. In a living room, it is the sofa set or set of couches that define the interior design. To bring in a magenta colour combination here, try swapping the existing set’s upholstery with this vivid shade.

 

STYLE TIP: Since magenta is a colour that speaks grandeur and glamour, it’s the perfect shade for the interiors of a maximalist home. Upholstered in rich velvet in this sofa set for living room, it is perfectly complemented on the carpet in front of it with spots of the same shade.

2. THE CEILING IS AN INTERESTING PLACE TO USE MAGENTA AS A CONTRAST COLOUR

If you’re looking for a unique way to design any part of your house, think of the most unusual places as a starting point. And, if you’re using an unconventional combination with magenta colour, think out of the box when planning the space’s interior design. In this luxurious dining room, the ceiling creates a statement contrast with magenta colour. Often overlooked, the ceiling in most rooms is always painted in white or a neutral shade to complement the rest of the walls. This bright pop of colour further elevates the grand style of this dining room.

 

STYLE TIP: Metallic accents go a long way in adding a dose of glamour in any room. Whether it’s done subtly through a small accessory or in a more grand way with a chandelier and painting the mouldings on the walls (such as in this dining room)—a hint of metal never fails to add a stylish edge in a space’s décor!

3. AN ARMCHAIR CAN ADD A MAGENTA PINK COLOUR COMBINATION IN A ROOM

The easiest way to experiment with your home’s interior design is starting with smaller accessories or movable pieces of furniture. Not only do these provide an easy solution for a quick makeover, they can be swapped or removed when you tire of them. So, if you’re bringing in a bold combination of magenta colour in the living room, a single armchair may be the best way to experiment with the shade. You could either upholster it in a solid bold magenta or try a print with this colour. Our favourite is a yellow and magenta combination.

 

EXPERT TIP: Place any pieces with a magenta contrast colour next to a window or in a space that gets ample natural light to truly make this shade come alive in a room!

4. HOW TO COMPLEMENT A MAGENTA COLOUR CONTRAST

If you can’t zero in on the perfect combination with magenta colour that’s right for your home, your best bet would be relying on an interior design service that can help you along the way. Whether you’re completely clueless about how to choose a magenta pink colour combination or would like to pair different colours like a magenta and yellow combination, a reliable and seasoned designer and contractor can make a world of a difference. While we all dream of a beautiful home, taking time out of our daily schedule and finding the right people to work with is often easier said than done. 

With this thought in mind, India’s largest paint giant Asian Paints created the Beautiful Homes Service. Enlisting expert interior designers, who’ve worked across the length and breadth of the industry, the Beautiful Homes Service takes care of executing every task in your home renovation from start to finish. This ensures a hassle-free and time-saving experience for anyone with a vision to remodel their home (or redesign a particular room) but lacks the time or patience to coordinate and project manage between an army of people required to finish the job.
 

5. MAGENTA COLOUR COMBINATIONS TO LIVEN UP A HOME BAR

The home bar is meant to be the liveliest space in the house, so bright bold shades work best in this area. To create a magenta colour contrast around the bar, your best bet would be with the bar stools or chairs. We love how the dazzling gold-toned metallic panelling in this home bar is complemented with a rich magenta contrast colour on the bar stools. If you’re looking for something more subtle, you could instead choose glasses and bar accessories in a magenta pink colour combination.

6. PAIRING ART WITH A MAGENTA COMBINATION COLOUR

Even though magenta is a bold colour, it’s still a versatile shade to pair other pieces in the home with—especially art! If you have an eclectic collection of artworks bursting with vivid hues, try a single bold shade of magenta on your furniture to avoid a visual mashup. A pattern with a magenta colour combination might look gorgeous, but make a room look too busy or messy when paired with too much art.

7. CREATE A CONTRAST WITH MAGENTA COLOUR ON A STATEMENT WALL

When we think of incorporating prints, our upholstery, drapes, linens and rugs come to mind. However, if you’re an appreciator of a good print and looking to blend it into your livings spaces in an eye-catching way, you can include it on your walls, too. With a plethora of wallpaper and decal options available today,  you can pair an intricate pattern on the walls with either solid upholstery on your furniture or a complementing design, as well. And, if you’re looking for a quick makeover in a room with the colour magenta or a magenta pink colour combination, a new roll of wallpaper will give you a quick wall décor change.
