Color Fun Friday! Pretty in Pink!

I must be in a pink mood lately. The last color I showcased was coral. I guess I’m seeing it around a lot lately. Pink is often a color we love or hate, it has that appeal. Soft and subtle, it is delicate, peaceful and gentle, but bold and vibrant shocking pink can be emotional and stimulating to your senses.

Interiors can be transformed with the use of pink, but men generally have an aversion to living in a pink space, maybe they feel uncomfortable around emotional colors! Therefore it is most commonly used in girl’s bedrooms and bathrooms. You can read about the use of pink in Feng Shui here.

 

 

Totally diggin’ this space. The mix of the industrial and brick with the pink accents. The chandelier is a nice touch.

This space look like it belongs to a twenty-something that lives in studio in Manhattan. I like how its mainly white with that pop of fuchsia.

This loft space is so cool! Using that vintage soft pink fridge is a great touch!

Who says pink can’t be sophisticated?  Loving this mod home!

You rarely see pink in the kitchen. It seems really modern and fresh.

Nice subtle pink color on the walls sets a nice tone for this space. Feels really soft and inviting.

You’ve seen this painted floor idea before here. It adds a great pop of color and visual interest to the room. I like the contrasting painted yellow door.

Pink and brown have always been a great combo. This bedroom doesn’t feel too feminine at all. I think any man would be okay sleeping in this room. The area rug adds that masculine touch to balance the pink walls out.

Great textures and tones of pink in this room.  I like the mix of the lush velvet and natural fiber area rug.

I just love this space. All the different shades pink with the the lime green desk and accents. Green and pink is another great combo.

Is pink a color for you? Do you think it can be used in a sophisticated manner?

Color Fun Friday! Coral Craze!

coral

Coral is a great color for interiors. It’s a variable color averaging a deep pink or a light shade of red. A little less bold than red or orange, blends great with almost every other color.

 

 

This kitchen has such a cheery effect. The bold walls really stand out. I really love the color with the various tones of woods.

This room would be great for a tween or teenager. Great geometric pattern on the curtains. Fun tones of coral throughout the space. Super cute!

Love how the coral looks with the gray neutrals in this living room. Subtle, with nice pops of coral in the artwork and pillows.

The bold accent wall really highlights the wall as the focal point. The light bluish art panels compliment it perfectly and add a nice balance.

This living keeps the main areas neutral and spice it up with coral accents. It feels sophisticated with a pop ‘o fun.

I love this playful arrangement with the bold wall color and the complimentary colored stripe area rug. What great choices for a foyer/entryway.

Again, this space keeps is light and airy with a neutral base and adds the softer coral hue for a little life.

Really bold colored walls throughout paired with the zebra rug and black accents makes this space tres’ chic. I can see this belonging to an apartment in the Upper East Side of NYC.

Love the mix of the coral with the rattan/wicker. This house fits perfectly in a beach town or city.

Do you like the color coral for your interior space? How about accessories or accents?

Color Fun Friday! Yellow + Gray = Love!

yellow_gray_interior_design

I just cannot get enough of this color combo right now. You see it all over blogs and design mags these days and it will probably stick around for a while. It’s modern, sophisticated and fun. It is also super versatile. It can be used in any room from a kitchen down to a nursery. Mixing different tones/shades of the yellow and gray can produce endless possibilities for any space.  Can you tell I’m a fan?

 

 

Right off the bat, I just love this wallpaper. It feels modern and sophisticated. The yellow and different shades of gray really add an element of interest without being overwhelming.

I like the mix of industrial and modern in interiors. This yellow barn door is right up my alley.  It adds unexpected interest to the room in the perfect color.

yellow_gray_interior_design

 

 

These hues of yellow and gray seem more muted and subtle. Perfect for a bedroom.  I love the striped linens.

yellow_gray_interior_design

 

 

This kitchen in mostly gray with pops of yellow thrown in. I love that gray can act a a neutral background for some pops of fun.

yellow_gray_interior_design

 

 

This space feels super sophisticated to me.  The art could have been the inspiration behind the design of the room. Did you know that is a great way to decorate a room?

yellow_gray_interior_design

 

 

 

This room is pure fun.  Along with the yellow and gray palette, I love the geometric area rugs.

Cleans lines, great colors and great furniture. Nuff’ said…

This bathroom is super cute. Who says you can’t put a decorative mirror inside the shower!? The yellow and gray color combo works great in this cutie bathroom.

I am in awe of this headboard/artwork collection. I want to do something like this in my home.  Again, the colors work great and the white is a great addition to the combo.

yellow_gray_interior_design

 

 

This one stopped me in my tracks. Thom Filicia for Kravet. Simply beautiful! And a testament that this combo isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. There’s nothing about this space I don’t like.

What are your thoughts about this color combo trend? Love it like me? Did you know gray is spelled with an “a” in America and with and “e” in England?
