Beds | Mattresses | Linens
At first sight it might not seem an obvious combination but pink and brown make for a fun and sophisticated colour combination when used as the backdrop for room décor. The sweetness of pink hues play perfectly against earthy brown shades and because the hues are so diverse, the colour duo has broad appeal across all age groups and the genders. Experiment with stripes, patterns and spots or add a flirty touch by incorporating pink polka dots and brown cricket stripes. Update a favourite contemporary or traditional bedstead with a feminine pink floral quilt and add a splash of pink to the room by displaying a vase of fresh orchids, lilies or roses.
Pink and brown bedroom themes lend themselves well to informal shabby chic style which is both elegant and relaxed. Buy a vintage style pink and brown rose coloured damask quilt and team it up with a charming Victorian inspired ivory metal bedstead with antique brass detailing or even an iron bed with a black textured or satin black finish for a more grounded masculine flavour. Pink and brown bedroom themes respond equally well to contemporary accents, so consider also more simplistic modern bed designs in either metal or wooden treatments, where the emphasis is on functionality rather than excessive detailing where the bedspread and fabric elements do most of the talking. White wicker furniture might also work well here, whilst light pink and brown toile drapes hung from tall windows lend an antique French flavour whenever a traditional feel is the order of the day. Complete the theme with soft powder pink walls and display antique brown glass vases filled with freshly cut old blush roses or orchids.
Polka dots and stripes are a contrasting duo that work just as well together as the pink and brown colour combination. Buy a pink and white striped lampshade for a bedside table or dresser and tie a brown polka-dot ribbon around it for a sweet feminine touch. Use a brown and white polka dotted comforter or bed throw and accent with fluffy pink striped pillows or a pink accent rug at the foot of the traditional or contemporary bedstead.
Paisley designs are another décor choice that lend themselves well to the pink and brown colour duo. Even little accessories such as picture frames and waste paper baskets will establish a paisley mood that is immediately recognisable and timeless in nature. Hunt down a solid pink or brown bed quilt and a nightstand lamp featuring a pink and brown paisley shade. Hang paisley curtains and drapes to complete the look or consider Argyle patterns as a variation on the paisley design that works equally well with this inviting and alternative colour combo…
