Design Reveal: Urban Pretty in Pink

When we began working on this room, we had the fabulous penguin wallpaper as a starting point—setting the tone for a room that was both feminine yet modern and whimsical—the perfect place for an urban-dwelling little lady.

We embraced the freedom to mix styles of furniture and multiple shades and tones of pink with crisp white accents. The result is a room that is fun and funky yet still feminine and romantic.

The clean lines of the modern, pink and white, romantic canopy bed contrast yet remain complementary with the curved form of the pink Yolk Chair—a replica of the iconic 1950s egg chair and the transparent iconic ghost chair. The feminine, curved Estiluz Infiore Pendant Light is paired with the fun Giraffe Lamp. The inclusion of Ferm Living’s birdie pillow creates an incidental underlying bird theme, while also contrasting with the more modern throw pillows.

Our last find was the two-tone pink rug that ties together and grounds the room. From the furniture to the accent pieces, from romantic bunnies to funky striped dogs, in this space we found a balance of styles to create a room that is as special and unique as the little lady who lives there.

    I would say that this is one lovely room, even though I do not personally prefer pink, but you could probably use this room as an inspiration using other colors.

    CreativeCrumbs,

    I think you’re right about that CreativeCrumbs. You could do this in blue or green if you have a baby boy. But I do have a question, do you think that this design idea would be great even with a smaller room?

    I just love the kind of pink used for the wallpaper. I am not a fan of pink, but this one is just lovely and beautiful.
