Decorating the entire home with a fearless palette of pink or blue takes courage, but the space proves that having design guts often leads to interior glory.
Pink paint, fabric and wallpaper – oh my! Here’s what we’re loving now.
- Choose refined extras – hot pink grows up when it’s paired with elegant neutrals like white and wainscotting and black and white accents.
- Work with a solid foundations – the elegantly elaborate molding throughout the home makes it easy to go wild with candy colors because the space already has architectural gravitas to balance the playfulness of hot pink.
- Taste test for comfort – if you’re accustomed to decorating with neutrals, dip your toes into the world of color by adding hot pink accents like vibrant dining chairs. The rest of the room – from the walls to the floors can remain comfortably subtle.
- Take risks in small rooms – petite enclosed spaces like powder room afford the opportunity to play with colorful patterned wallpaper. Even if the rest of your house is white or minimal, a fuchsia print on all four walls of a small room offers a tiny surprise every time you open the door.
- Play with layers – layered patterns look rich and decadent rather than cluttered when a mural wall covering and silk accent chair feature similar base tones. To create contrast, choose prints with varied pattern scales.
- Take a time out – even the boldest abodes need a few peaceful moments. This vignette still has a touch of true blue, but the seafoam wallpaper and sturdy wood cabinet balance the house’s other vibrant components.
- Go with the flow – When creating a multi-colored yet cohesive design that flows through many rooms, bring moments of color to each space. In a house with closed off rooms, you have more freedom to create independent environments.
- Tie in it – The elaborated patterns, eye – catching accessories and a mix of modern and old world furniture is what allows clashing colors and prints to sit side by side in harmony.
