Colors For the Small Bedroom - Pink and Spring Green Add a Decorative Charm

Spring is fully in blossom and, with solid consistency, the cherry trees around our district are covered with beautiful, fluffy, pink blossoms. The grass is a fresh, young green and tiny spring green leaves perk up the trees and bushes. Pink and purple tulips from Holland are crowded into buckets in front of the local florist, looking lavishly generous and full of that vibrant energy so typical for spring. Although this scene repeats itself every year, it always seems so refreshingly new. Perhaps because it only lasts for such a short time. Fortunately, at least the color scheme, can be kept spirited for a longer period. These are excellent colors for using to add a joyful lightness to a small bedroom.

Pink and spring green will transform a small, boring room into a bright space full of joy and fun. They emanate sheer optimism. Especially the stronger shades of purple pink will give an extravagant authenticity to a room and make it somewhat charmingly naive. They are naturally excellent colors for a young girl´s room.

As an adult theme, there are lots of modern designs in this color scheme. Splashes of bright pink together with spring green can look extremely expressive and dynamic. Care has to be taken, not to overpower the small room. This can be achieved by just adding a few accents of the strong pink in combination with the fresh green, and additionally using lots of off-white.

Using the softer shades of pink in combination with a muted, light green will create an entirely different energy. Like the exquisite cherry blossoms, the room will look dainty and demure. By using modern, sporty textiles, this will help this picturesque color scheme not to be too sweet. If care is taken to use a balance of green and pink in the textiles and accessories, a small room can look exceptionally elegant, somewhat reminiscent of times gone by, bringing old values back to life. Too much sweetness can be counteracted by using coarse linen, clear lines and limiting the small space to basic needs, avoiding clutter and too many decorative items.

It is always interesting to experience how even small rooms can be transformed into exceptional spaces when applying colors. Because purples and greens are so vast in the shades that they offer,

it is possible to create a great many imaginative and expressive variations of this color theme, that will certainly add vigor or charm to even the smallest bedroom.
