Decorating With The Pink/Yellow Color Combination


If you desire a bright, cheerful, yet feminine room....the pink and yellow combination may be just what you are looking for. This combination is responsible for some lovely rooms. Just remember that when it comes to decorating with pink and yellow, choosing the right shades and coming up with the right combination so you wind up with a balanced design is key to your success. It is easy for a room decorated in these colors to look garish, so be very careful. The pink/yellow room may not be the best do-it-yourself project. Hopefully  the images I have put together will inspire and assist you.

As you know I love classical spaces. Many times designers shy away from certain color combinations when it comes to historical interiors. I love this room and how it is still refined and elegant despite the bolder pink/yellow color combination. You will hear designers say if you use yellow and pink stay bold or stay pastel. This room is the perfect example why I pay little attention to the rules. This pop of bold hot pink brings life and excitement to this lovely room with it's soft yellow walls.

Decorating In Patchwork Chic


When you say patchwork the first thing that comes to mind is Grandma's patchwork quilt. While vintage quilts are lovely, the patchwork I am focusing on in the blog post is a design style very well known in Great Britain right now, but is quickly spreading. 

 Mixing different textures and fabrics, cut up and sewn back together in a modern twist, is called Patchwork Chic. You can create a variety of interior styles from soft, gentle, and warm, to conversely bright and crazy. In fact, the patchwork style can be applied to almost all interior elements such as pillows, wall art, wallpaper and upholstery. 

 If you want to be a part of the current patchwork trend, but you just aren't sure about the best way in which to introduce it to your home, check out the pictures I have assembled to help you.



The beauty of patchwork is that it can be used to bring together the various colors and patterns in the rest of the room.


For those who want to explore the patchwork trend without going overboard on color, there are many beautiful options available.

Patchwork sofas are crafted by working with a variety of pieces of material to cover the sofa. These cuts of fabric are assorted sizes and materials. Some of the most popular fabrics used are velvet and leather. Investing in a patchwork sofa or chair is a great way to make a statement in the room of your choice. There is sure to be a design out there to suit your price range.

Would you like to decorate your walls in a very original way? Do you love bright colors? If the answer is yes to these questions, then decorating walls in a patchwork style is exactly what you need.

Whether you choose brightly colored patchwork or a selection of softer muted  fabrics, this is one way in which to add a statement piece that really stands out yet adds the finishing touch to a room.


Desire to Inspire

You might want to make the patchwork sofa the center of attention of the space or you might want it to just simply complement the rest of the room's furnishings. Keeping walls white will make your patchwork really stand out.

An alternative to a headboard in your bedroom is to patchwork the wall space at the head of your bed using fabric or wallpaper samples. This patchwork has an exotic flair.
