HOW THIS COLOR IS BREAKING FREE FROM ALL STEREOTYPES

In the past, I’ve associated the color pink with pure kitsch, all things Barbi and certainly had not imagined using this hue in a color palette for a project, especially not for an adult space.

With both Copper (being a metallic with enough pink-ish nuances) trending and the Pantone color Rose Quartz being nominated as the color of 2016, all these tendencies indicate the overall growing favoritism of Pink. Besides being an accent color it is a great neutral color, the muted spectrum of this color, in particular, seems to become the new Gray.

In my daily hunt for inspirations, I increasingly stumble upon more and more interiors featuring pink as an accent color. The key qualities of this versatile color are starting to transpire and I must admit it’s starting to grow on me as well. As much as I love black, white and gray, I can’t deny, I sometimes daydream of perhaps changing up my bedroom a little and adding some nude moments to my Gray and White color scheme.

I have put together a little gallery of some inspirational vignettes, that definitely speak for themselves.

Have you been collecting some inspirational images featuring this trend and how would you incorporate pink into your space?  Feel free to leave a comment and share some pictures. I would love to see.

I’m definitely starting to think Pink!

MINT IT, BABY!

I vividly remember my bedroom back in the 90’s. My sister and I shared bedrooms and we certainly never had a say, when it came to the decor. We had these ugly duckling wallpapers on the wall. Basically, those ducklings children play with during bath time. Yes, THAT ugly!

It was this medium sized room with yellow ducks all over the walls paired with sheer, pastel pink floor to ceiling drapes ( I now think those were actually nice!) and tons of dolls all over the place. The room certainly had no style nor definition, just a mess to sum it up.


A GOOD REASON TO REVAMP YOUR CLOSET

When you think of racks, it usually wouldn’t spark any inspiring images in your mind. But you may think differently once you see some of the unconventional direction these objects have taken. It doesn’t matter whether suspended or free-standing, both types seem to join this new wave of interior tendency. A cool new trend that is taking the design connaissances’ heart by storm!

THE CLASSIC + WHITE REINVENTED

The black + white ensemble has been consistent with its popularity throughout the years and it seems like it’s not going away any time soon. The classic duo has been conquering the kitchens of the world slowly, but surely. What I have noticed as well is the simplicity and boldness in size and format of the cabinets – the bigger the better. Hardware is scarcely present and transforms these cabinets visually into built-in closets and makes the transition from the rest of the home more seamless and clean. The only features that give it away as a kitchen are the faucets and stoves and such.


For quite some time now, metallics have been all the rave, rose gold in particular. But it seems like it’s winning a second, much larger wave of momentum with an extra dash of a power boost. More and more, fashion houses and home furnishing companies are incorporating it’s finish into their collection. The range is so stupidly wide and I honestly sense the fun designers are having with the infinite possibilities this material is creating. Whether it’s just the finish or the idea of taking advantage of the characteristics of the material itself, it is all being highly appreciated by the crowd, including my gold-loving self.
