Inspired by the absolute gorgeousness of this amazing bedroom I decided to centre today’s blog post around the idea of pink and blue bedrooms (mixed in with some white an creams of course).
With stunning white and pink paper lanterns hanging from the ceiling, the china blue bedspread and assorted pink trimmed pillows even the wooden panelling looks romantic and welcoming. This is the source of my inspiration!
Following on from above we reverse the roles with a light pink bedspread and wonderful china blue details in the pillows and all over the room. Furniture in white like in the picture above for that vintage chic feel.
In a slightly darker shade of blue and deeper shade of pink. Playing with florals, pure white walls and painted furniture comes this wonderful bedroom from Fiona of Blue Bell Gray.
From Country Homes & Interiors comes this next bedroom. Country mixed with coastal blues.
Another country style home with light blue walls and a feature wall in soft floral wallpaper. Again white painted furniture seems to work a treat when combined with pastel pink and blue bedding.

And now let’s take this idea up a notch and match the chequered headboard with the wallpaper and just about everything else! Intense room but nice combination of patterns.
With wallpaper from Thibaut comes this unique pink and blue bedroom design.
A large coastal print gives the room personality, while the addition of a third window allows light in and takes full advantage of the beautiful outside view.
Let’s take a look at the many different shapes and forms that a purple sequinned cushion can take on!

Purple suede on linen colored jute with black sequince detail for a powerful look.
Strands of colored beads can be used to soften a stark window, rather than to provide warmth or protect privacy. Adding beads to your window automatically creates a bohemian feel and vibe to your room.
The heart shaped glass beads and larger droplets give emphasis to the inverted v-shaped profile in this beaded curtain below. The glassy theme is extended into the windowsill arrangement with the glasses and bottle. The rainbow of colors in the glass beads has a definite bohemian feel and manages to transform the otherwise plain and stark window into something more magical.
When hung like beaded curtains in front of windows, these snowflakes make a subtle, modern, and whimsical addition to any seasonal room décor.

A grand window with a beautiful view. The view has been unobstructed by heavy curtains. The colorful glass beads are placed subtlety framing the gorgeous view. I particularly like the lantern hanging in front.
As pure and white as snow, create your own piece of heaven with these bedroom ideas in white! Play with patterns and textures for interesting visual effects.
White inspires restfulness. The bedroom is your haven and white is about evoking a tranquil mood and a sense of calm.
A dreamy daybed in a palette of pure white: from the bedding to the art to the draperies, makes this a perfectly pretty escape. What this room lacks in color it makes up for in texture. Cushions and drapes and art a fabulous mish mash of amazing textures with pleating, ribbing and ruffles.

Wonderful whites, this bedroom is a perfect showcase of how a room can be decorated in all white but be full of character. The tones range from cream to brilliant white, giving the room depth. Quality white sheets give that luxurious hotel look, which in turn that sense of hotel luxury creates a feeling of relaxation as if you’re on holiday everyday!

I am Pandora. A lover of interior design, decorating, homes, gardens and all things stylish!
I have been studying interior design as a side project for a few years on and off and decided to make this blog where I jot down my ideas and inspirations in the hopes that they will help or inspire others.
I am particularly in love with devising new color schemes an will try to add some of that here too.
This home and decorating site is a work in progress for me so come back often to see new ideas!
