I imagine many readers instantly think pink when it comes to girly rooms, and there is certainly nothing wrong with that. But what if you were set a challenge to not use pink in an interior? Would the result still be feminine?
I know that if we at Mood applied all our skills and expertise to the task, the answer would be a resounding, “YES!”
Here are some examples of inspirational interiors that are indisputably feminine and should leave you in no doubt that you don’t need pink…unless you really want it!
Crochet, Sheers and Lacy Things
Don’t worry we’re not talking the stuff of granny’s boudoir here. Crochet, lace and sheers are no longer the dowdy items you might imagine them to be. They offer beautifully intricate designs and can be used to great effect to set off soft-furnishings or, in the case of sheers and lace, to soften a look or diffuse light
They really do look exquisite in contemporary interiors. If you haven’t been lucky enough to see the latest designs around, then feast your eyes on the samples below.
The Wallpaper
To create a feminine space, you don’t have to choose flowery wallpapers. A positive mix and match of textures and colours will create the kind of look you’ll love. For example, striped feature wallpaper looks great mixed with delicate floral printed fabrics and furniture. You can even buy lacy wallpaper to compliment the lace you use elsewhere in the room.
I’ve found some truly fantastic, inspirational wallpaper that would make any interior space look amazing and set it apart from the bog-standard design. Here are some examples:
Ok, I know this one is pink, but its very nice if you like shoes.
The Furniture
There are so many pieces of furniture you can use to turn an ordinary room into your own little girly zone. Why not try using replicas of English or French pieces of furniture from between 1700 to 1900 and upholster them with a contemporary 21st Century fabric. It creates a fabulous contrast that really works.
Accessories
And so to the final touches. This is where we ‘glitz and glam’ our space whilst delicately playing with different textures. I love this part of the design process because accessorising is the stage at which you can really individualise an interior so it truly suits the personality of the occupant.
