The introduction of colour into a room will transform it, even if it is just a small detail such as cushions or a colourful window treatment. The chilliest of north facing bedrooms warms with a touch of pink. It is the colour of romance and will create an atmosphere of serenity and peace.
Our bedroom is where we are most vulnerable, where relationships are made and repaired, where we seek to relax at the end of the day or mull over the forth coming day with an early morning cup of tea. It is therefore a room that needs a colour scheme chosen with great care – not too overpowering but soft and feminine. The Lipstick Metal Venetian Blind makes a useful framework to base the rest of the bedroom colour scheme around. It is not too bright, giving plenty of scope for the introduction of other pink decoration and accents. Care should be taken that what may appear to be a harmonious combination of colours does not turn out to be disastrous. The colour of a lampshade wrongly chosen can affect the rest of the décor in a room. It is important to choose shades of a colour from the same section of the colour wheel. For example if your main colour is a pinky violet such as a warm magenta, then do not try to blend it with pinky yellow such as a coral, the colours will clash even though they are both technically shades of pink.
Soft light emulating from a pink lampshade or indeed a pink light bulb in a bedroom will offer a colour sensation that is romantic and relaxing, whereas bright light from a halogen bulb or a blue lampshade will give quite the opposite visual experience. The Vivacious Raspberry Roman Blind makes for a harmonious yet modern window finish, adding a touch of luxury as the opulent poppy design is highlighted with a stunning chocolate brown contrast. This stunning Roman blind has the potential to really enhance the décor of your bedroom, the curvy lines of the floral petals adding a feminine feel to the window.
Wallpapers adorned with oversized blooms will look great if toned down with a window treatment such as the Capri Rose Vertical Blind although it may be better to choose a pattern with trailing stems with the occasional flower, it may be more attractive for the long term. Sexy cerises, delicate pastel shades and vibrant magentas are both colourful and relaxing. If you want to go mega bright pink, then keep it to one wall, bedding and window treatments. Ethnic fabrics are easily available in Magentas and violets, often accompanied by golden coloured silks and thread. Isolated as an arrangement of brightly coloured cushions, they will look stunning but ensure that the drama and vitality does not overwhelm the rest of the décor by introducing quieter pinks in the same hues such as the Van Gogh Orchid Roller Blind.
Sugary pinks are rather dated, but still a firm favourite with little girls. Try not to overdo the pink in expensive items because as your child matures she will doubtless tire of this colour so it’s best if it is only a question of changing the bedding and window treatments then it will not be too costly. This charming curtain poleCopes Sequin Star 16-19mm Extendable Metal Curtain Pole Set will turn any pair of curtains into a delightful window treatment for a little girl. Alternatively for a grown up look or for a truly glamorous bedroom then the Museum Vesuvius 35mm & 45mm Curtain Pole Set will blend beautifully with any shade of pink.
