Decorating Ideas for Mauve Countertops

Urban Chic Eclectic

• Cook up a soft mix of perfectly blended colors and quirky style decor for a chic urban kitchen. Top your mauve counter with groupings of glass or crystal vases and bowls for sparkle and a sheer, almost unobstructed line of sight. Fill vases with green apples, and bowls with water and floating pink flower tops for a peculiar twist. Paint the walls with your favorite pastel hue; soft mint green lends an organic, yet eccentric mingle to mauve. Add a rug sporting oversize subdued flowers in front of the sink. Tie everything together by adding splashes of purple in your dishes, linens, artwork and kitchen chairs, creating funky flow.

Soft and Elegant

• Mauve harbors a calm, breezy feel and a delicate purple countertop could be the anchor that secures your elegant seaside kitchen. Paint your walls and add a glass tile backsplash in ocean-inspired blues and greens, staying with the same gentle color saturation as your violet countertops. Hang greyed driftwood pieces on the walls as custom art. Scatter seashells about for decor, placing some in shadow boxes. Use delicate touches of muted lavender and periwinkle as window toppers, a table runner and water glasses for easy accord.

Inspirational Space

• If you love to cook, bake and experiment in the kitchen, create an inspirational kitchen for your spicy ideas to resonate. Colors can inspire moods, feelings and creativity. Purple and orange get the creative juices flowing. Find a medley of lavish lilac, crisp ginger and delectable peach color curtains, pictures and table linens to motivate masterpiece meals and desserts and orchestrate smartly with your mauve counters.

Jewel Tones

• Look to your jewelry box for decorating ideas. Rich jewel tones add warmth and character to any space. Amethyst, ruby and emerald harmonize luxuriously with a darker shade of mauve. Use toasty brown on the walls and incorporate a white or cream dining room suite allowing your gemstone dishes, works of art and fabrics to shine brilliantly.
