Our pick of the best purple kitchen accessories

To make a statement in a modern kitchen or give a traditional home a contemporary touch, go for bold purple accessories.

Purple certainly adds personality and there's no reason why you can t add a little individuality to your kitchen scheme.

It s the perfect choice for an uplifting accent colour; take your inspiration from shades such as aubergine, plum and grape. Purple can work beautifully against softer shades such as pale pinks and lilacs.

Experiment with colourful kitchen accessories, such as utensils, cookware or electricals. Purple has an air of opulence about it, and makes a great shade for sleek kitchen accessories such as kitchen mixers or coffee makers, as it works so well with chrome finishes.

Why not choose a sleek purple kettle and toaster, instead of simple white? It's also a great colour for kitchen storage, such as an eye-catching enamel bread bin or tea and coffee canisters a burst of bright colour will breathe life into a corner of the room.
