Pale pink walls

I have been wondering for months what to do with my dining room. Dark? Bright? Wallpaper? I don't have very good recent photos because I hate the room - this one is the most recent that shows a decent amount of the space. (The floors are now stained grey!)  Nothing has really stood out until I suddenly started thinking about pale pink. Then I started thinking about pale pink with dark grey trim. Then I started getting very excited. I am pretty sure pale pink is the route I want to take with the walls (trim will probably just be the same colour or a shade darker so it's not too choppy, and the doors maybe the black blue of the foyer...and not sure about the ceiling). I have been eyeballing Farrow & Ball's Pink Ground, Setting Plaster and Calamine. I think Pink Ground on walls and Setting Plaster on trim could be really gorgeous. I have sent a request for samples so those are on the way. In the meantime, I went looking for inspiration and found all kinds of pretty pinks. And based on the first 2 photos, I think I need heavy velvet burgundy drapes.

Working on a Saturday

The floors are candy pink! SHINY. CANDY. PINK. No need to drag me into work on a weekend if my office looked like this. Yum! The offices of NGRS Recruiting Company in Moscow by Crosby Studios.

Every cloud has a silver ... er ... pink lining

This bright and colourful family home has me wondering which hero feature I love the most. The bold and vibrant pinks and blues that add personality and drama or the knockout use of wallpaper. I think I'll pump for both. Layers and layers of loveliness. Fitzroy House by interior designer Kate Challis.

Tickled pink

Pink, a difficult colour to pull off. Barbie Dream House nightmares come to mind. Not with this sophisticated pink and peach palette created by Brett Mickan Interior Design for this suburban Sydney loft. Definitely more moody and modern than saccharine sweet. Love it.

A townhome by Juliette Byrne

Juliette Byrne is an architect and interior designer from London and this Fulham townhome she designed is alot of fun, with accents of pink and teal for a homeowner who likes it bold. It is sophisticated and youthful with modern furnishings and blingy bits to add to the wow factor (as if the colour wasn't enough - go big or go home!)
