lilac – The Interiors Addict

Our favourite homewares in the latest hot hue: lilac

I don’t know about you but it feels like there’s a new colour kid on the block; a muted take on Pantone’s 2018 Colour of the Year ‘Ultra Violet,’ lilac has invaded our social media feeds. A fabulous complement to millennial pink, the pastel, cool-toned shade of pale purple is a surprisingly chic choice. From cushions to glassware, rugs and even sofas, here’s our top picks.

Kip & Co lavender velvet quilt cover: Kip & Co’s iconic velvet range got the purple treatment recently and the 100 per cent cotton lavender quilt cover and pillow cases look rather fabulous. $260.10 (King).

Amigos de Hoy Lilac Mystics cotton dhurrie rug: Lilac, grey and gold are made for each other in this fringed, bohemian themed floor rug. From $509.

Interiors Online Slipper chair lilac with oak legs: A popular Art Deco shape, the compact slipper chair was originally designed for the bedroom but it would work equally well in a lounge room too. The oak legs give this one a fresh, modern feel. $579.

Hay colour storage crate, medium lavender: Available in a wide range of fabulous colours, these industrial styled, compact, stackable containers are ideal for home organisation. They offer great storage for everything from toys to office supplies, and their airy, perforated design makes them ideal for food and bathroom accessories. The lilac option is lovely but you can mix and match too! $19.05.

Marmoset Found Memphis vase in rose, large: This pleat vase was a runaway success when it launched a few years ago and it’s remained popular ever since. The design looks equally as fabulous brimming with blooms as it does unadorned as a sculptural object. $79.

Sage & Clare Tula Nudie bath mat, Alegria: The brand’s most popular product ever has been recreated in a brand new colour way for high summer. Multi-coloured text is set against a lilac background in this 100 per cent cotton creation. $79.

Trending: Our favourite lilac homewares

A rather divisive hue, purple is suddenly all the rage on the interior scene which is not surprising given Pantone named ‘Ultra Violet’ the colour of 2018. And while there are plenty of purple iterations doing the rounds (deep plum, royal purple, mauve and lavender to name a few), it’s lilac that we’re rather taken with.

Kip & Co: The Melbourne brand can always be relied upon to bring the colour. The velvet is particularly lush. Kip & Co Orchid linen frill pillowcase, $49 & Orchid velvet pea cushion, $89.

Adairs Kids Jax side table white & lilac: I love this two-toned bedside for a little girl’s room. $139.99.

Linen House Nimes elderberry linen quilt cover set: Pre-shrunk and stone-washed, this linen bedding has a gorgeous vintage feel. From $179.95.

Taubmans ‘Lavendula’ paint: Julia and Sasha used a gorgeous paint shade on the front door of their most recent renovation (pictured below). It’s a stunning pastel neon (an oxymoron I know!), it really pops agains the brass hardware.

Amigos de Hoy Fluffelbuster cushion in unicorn: Available for pre-order now, this faux fur piece has gold lurex sparkles throughout and is like a sorbet-toned dream. $79.

Limoges Legle Parma teapot: Made in France since 1771, Limoges porcelain is in a league of its own – these teapots are not only handmade but they’re hand decorated with gold trim. $370.
