Color advice at Tegeltje Tegeltje lilac: wall paint & styling
Lilac takes on a character all its own alongside warm nude and caramel tones. In Tegeltje Tegeltje lila, they come together in a playful, painted grid. This makes the wallpaper a great starting point for a room that is soft, but not entirely tame. With calm wall paint, you let the different shades work together without the overall effect becoming busy.
Soft together, beautifully balanced
These 3 paint shades form a beautiful palette with Tegeltje Tegeltje - lilac. Choose one base and optionally an accent.
First, order a paint sample or color swatch of your favorite shade. View this at home next to a wallpaper sample, in daylight and with the lights on. This way, you can see which combination works best in your room.
Let the wallpaper be the beginning
The blocks give the wall a recognizable rhythm. Let the pattern speak for itself in one spot and repeat the colors elsewhere mainly in small details. A cabinet with simple lines keeps the decor calm, while a round rug softens the grid. If you opt for wallpaper wainscoting, match the height to the main furniture. The painted upper wall can thus become a calm frame for the lilac and warm tones below. See also Tile Tile - lilac wallpaper for the available versions.
Which wall paint matches Tegeltje Tegeltje - lilac?
LAB Coco
no. 554
This light, soft shade complements the powdery side of the palette. It makes a beautiful, calm neighbor to the wallpaper, paired with light curtains and natural wood. The color does not need to match a block exactly: a subtle difference actually makes the painted design stand out.
LAB Beau Belle
no. 898
A muted light direction provides slightly more warmth and softness than a very bright area. This is great for a larger wall if you want the room to feel like a unified whole. Keep the bedding simple so that the lilac blocks retain their playful character.
LAB Royal Mauve
no. 637
This deeper accent can anchor the lilac in the room. Use it on a small scale, for example on a cabinet or near a reading nook. Combine it with a light paint on the other walls. This creates depth without the wallpaper disappearing between multiple large dark areas.
This is what your room can feel like
01Powdery and light
Choose Coco for the painted walls and work with light wood and solid cream fabrics. A small lilac cushion can connect the wallpaper to the bed. Keep the rest of the accessories simple: the blocks already provide sufficient color variation and give the room its own cheerful rhythm.
02Lilac with a warm anchor
Use Beau Belle as a soft base and Royal Mauve for one subtle accent. Add a warm wooden chair or stool to provide a natural counterpart to the caramel tones in the wallpaper. A simple rug connects the furniture without introducing an additional pattern into the room.
Furniture, fabrics & small details
Round shapes are a nice counterpoint to the tiles. Think of a spherical lampshade, a curved chair, or a round cushion. Let warmth come primarily from materials, such as wood and woven fabric. With a plain curtain, the wallpapered wall remains clearly visible. Choose a few larger accessories rather than many small colored details; this keeps the playful palette uncluttered.
Look first, then choose
Lilac reacts strongly to the color of light. Therefore, create a larger test patch of your favorite paint and place it next to several blocks of wallpaper. View it during the day with your own lights on. Also keep the chosen wood color next to it. If one paint appears clearly cooler than you like, test a softer base first before painting the entire wall.
A small start for your dream room
With one calm base color and a small mauve accent, the lilac is given all the space to shine softly.
