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.
