Why pink?

Looking for a popular color for a girl's room? Try pink! Pink is delicate, girlie and elegant. Interior designers use pink to create a soothing and relaxing feel. And lets not forget, that pink makes most people look their best. But too much pink can also be very overwhelming, so balance is key. Mixing unexpected fabrics can create the perfect balance. The most popular pink combinations are pink with brown, pink with black and white or pink with green. Combining unexpected colors creates interest in a room that may seem ordinary. If you choose to go with a light pink try adding accessories in a dark pink or gray to create balance.

Decorating A Vintage Nursery

Decorating a vintage nursery can be quit a challenge. But when you add vintage elements the results are elegant and timeless. When using a pale green, or cream paint on the walls that matches a hue found in the room's decor accents will set the tone for the selection of other fabrics and patterns, such as toiles, checks, and stripes in classic shades of deep red, light pink, and tan for girls, and deep blue, light blue and cream for boys. Adding mixed furniture is essential to creating the ultimate vintage look. But make sure that when mixing furniture, select pieces with lines and shapes that create a cohesive look. And to create an antique look on new furniture sand the edges giving it a rustic look.
