Think Pink!
“Pale pink salmon is the only colour I cannot abide––although, naturally, I adore pink. I love the pale Persion pinks of the little carnations of Provence and Schiaparelli’s pink, the pink of the Incas…And though it’s so vieux jeu I can hardly bear to repeat it––pink is the navy blue of India.” so said celebrated Harpers Bazaar and Vogue Fashion Editor, Diana Vreeland. I am not sure what Persion is but anyway thought you might enjoy a quote! Pink is enjoying a moment in interiors and is such a great colour to use, from vibrant fuchsia to palest powder pink, it goes with everything. Here's a few examples I've found of some lovely things.
