> design tips - designing with pink

I love the colour pink. It is a really stylish colour and incredibly versatile in interiors. It can be fun and frivolous, playful and trendy or just downright bold and punchy. It is most often associated with little girls rooms, but used with consideration, it works it's magic in grown up spaces too. With many shades of pink to choose from, ranging from soft delicate pinks, orangey pinks into deep or flourescent pinks, here are some ideas on how to use it.

This room mixes two tones of pink with red. Deep pink on the focal wall reacts with the red headboard while the orange in the cushions provides the harmonious link. The look is toned down by the use of a softer pink on the adjoining walls and fresh white bed linen and crisp contemporary furnishing accessories.
Is this a playroom or a family living space? Stylish furniture with pop accents mix with flouro shades of pink and a riot of accent colours that contrast or harmonise with pinks... blues, oranges, purples and black. This is a very stylish room that is not intended to be taken too seriously.  You'd have a good time here.

The design maestro himself, Marcel Wanders uses pink. His Isabella wallpaper looks über cool and contemporary mixed with strong black architectural furniture, white bedding and gold toned accents.
Look how stylish mid pink tooks next to spohisticated blacks and greys. This montone bedroom has been given an instant happy 'lift' by introducing some key pink in the way of soft furnishings, flowers and trinkets.
And it is great for children's rooms too. Here's our lovely Fantasia wallcovering mural in bright pink - guaranteed to pack a punch and add vibrant colour to any girl's room. This design is a dream like image of unicorns, flamingoes and butterflies and dragonflies floating above the clouds.
Or our nature inspired Fluoro Dandelions and Cowparsley giant wall stickers. Bright pink mixed with oranges, blues and lime greens will give any wall an instant face lift. Glorious!
