Decorating with Turquoise and Pink
Pantone’s Honeysucke may have been kicked into touch this year by Tangerine Tango, but turquoise and pink is still a very popular colour combination.
Complementary colours are very appealing to the eye and bright bold colour palettes can look stunning. Use turquoise with soft shades of pastel pinks for a soft feminine look or add some punch with hot pinks and cranberry.

A turquoise bed teamed with pretty floral linens creates a lovely French country feel to this room.
But don’t go crazy people. Unless you have large bright rooms and high ceilings, it can be difficult to live with such strong colours.


For a more understated look, think about adding turquoise and pink as accent colours and stick with a more neutral tone on the primary walls.

If you live in the Dublin area and are unsure whether such a scheme would work in your home, why not get in touch with me to arrange a Colour Consultation.

Hello and welcome to my Blog
My name is Karen Hughes and I'm an Interior Designer from Dublin, Ireland. I’m passionate about design and I started this blog as a way to connect with others just as passionate as myself. I tend to ramble on about all sorts of things, projects I’m working on, people, places and things that inspire me (and some that don’t). So put the kettle on, get comfy and settle in. I hope you enjoy your visit and don't forget to say hello. Visit my website to find out more about my services and view my work.Tweet Tweet
