Fall in love with pink this Valentine’s Day
With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, we’re celebrating the return of all things pink in our latest trend watch.
Once relegated to ‘little girls’ bedrooms’ only, pink is enjoying something of a renaissance as we head into 2025. Whether it’s a Barbie-inspired splash of colour, a pretty pastel or a calming earthy tone, adding a hint of pink to your country home can add a unique and captivating touch.
Whatever your taste, there is a pink to suit. The key is to consider the size, shape and light in your room, any furnishings already in place, as well as the atmosphere you want to create.
Firstly consider the room’s natural light: South-facing rooms can handle deeper pinks while north-facing rooms benefit from lighter, softer shades.
Next look at your existing decor. Choose a pink that complements your existing furniture and fixings.
Don’t be afraid to experiment. Order sample pots and paint them on large pieces of card to see how they look in different lights throughout the day.
Layer the look. Colour doesn’t have to stop at the walls. Play with different textures and shades across your soft furnishings, from comfortable cushions and classic curtains to elegant tableware, finely-woven linen or cosy throws.
Why not consult a design professional to help you select the perfect shade for your specific needs and preferences. By carefully selecting the right shade of pink, you can create a truly enchanting and unforgettable space your country home.
