I'm a lover of color, but even I can admit that introducing more striking hues into the home can feel daunting. Never quite ready to commit to a bold hue, I've often introduced color through decor rather than paint itself.

However, after spotting Kendall Jenner's lilac pantry door, I'm ready to give the quietly colorful paint trend a good go. Uplifting yet still subtle, the purple paint is a remarkably clever choice in her rustic kitchen.

Shop the Look

I have to admit, I wasn't sure if purple was for me, but after seeing Kendall's charming pantry door, I'm willing to embrace the lilac color trend in my own home. While committing to a paint color can be tough, you can create a similar sense of whimsy in your own cooking space with these three irresistible picks.

Kendall Jenner's lilac pantry doors are simple, but they've inspired me to introduce similar hues into my own cooking space. Not only is the paint color itself clever (it's uplifting and noticeable, yet, on the paler end of purple, it's equally subtle), but keeping the color in one area quietly separates the two spaces.

The hue itself feels nostalgic and charming, tying in seamlessly with the rustic, vintage feel of the kitchen. Layered with plenty of wood, retro checkerboard tiles, and farmhouse decor, the lilac gently breathes life into the space, providing a much-needed refresher amidst the deeper tones.

Paired with the butter yellow curtains and rustic hardware, Kendall's pantry doors couldn't be more inviting. They inject color without overwhelming the space, yet still tie in with the rustic, farmhouse-style design of the room.
