Living room inspiration - pink, grey and beige

I have started working on my living room. I have  grey walls, a beige sofa and a lucite table. I love neutral colors for the upholstered pieces as it allows me to change the look easily.

I was looking for pillows on Etsy while I came across one with a bold graphic pink fuchsia flower. I had to buy it! There are some things that you fall in love instantly.


If you think pink is for little girls, think again. Pink paired with neutrals like beige, white,brown, black and  grey create very classic elegant elegrooms. Pink works great with other accent colors like apple green, blue and orange.

I love the use of metallic accents paired with pink. Think of pink flowers in a silver cup.  You cannot go wrong with that!

Here is a quote I found on the Pantone website for the color Honey suckle pink  which is hot this year -- Courageous. Confident. Vital. A brave new color, for a brave new world. Let the bold spirit of Honeysuckle infuse you, lift you and carry you through the year. It’s a color for every day – with nothing “everyday” about it.

Here are pictures that inspire me.






Can't wait to see how the rooms will look when it is done!
Do check out my idea gallery and I hope to see you on GFC/Facebook and Twitter.

  14. The color combination of a space in a home adds to the overall all ambiance of the house. It makes me more excited to look for apartments for rent in Dubai right away and move-in to a new home!
