Classy Funky Room

Hey Everyone,
        Here is an Interior Blog. We are planning to do Pink n Black bedroom because that’s what my friends ideal room looks like. I hope you all enjoy this. This is just a quick idea. I had 4 different looks for this type of room, but we bottled it down to this one. I tried avoiding using white(as her demand - young children + white = not a good outcome) but I personally think it looks better accenting the room with white as it open up space. I think zebra print for Bed covers and Rugs and Frames is super cute.
Side note: I personally won’t decorate my room like this. I am not a pink fan. I would use turquoise/aqua/sea green/bright blue, warms and neutrals colors as my room choices. I will do my fantasy rooms soon :D. So lets get into it after a long intro! Below is an idea that we are taking as inspiration in doing this project 



Bedroom Floor:
- If you have finished floors, leave it the way it is. (Get it polished for new room look). Through on a white faux fur rug or zebra print to give the room some personality.  
-      In our case we are installing carpets as the floors are quite old and its a cheaper option for her. Regardless it will look the best for or design as well.

Bedroom Lighting:
- Using chandelier will give the room a glamorous vibe. (chandeliers and lighting fixtures are where we are investing the money in)
- However normal ceiling lighting or spot lights will create a hoax of bigger room since shocking pink and black do tend to make the room look smaller and congested.

- Check out this Lighting site for unique and beautiful chandeliers. There are other great websites but the local lighting stores have the most unique and fun stock in my personal experience


Bedroom Wall paint:
-          Punk Pink, baby Pink, Bubblegum Pink and Shocking pink what ever your heart desires. We are using black.

Tip: If you are daring and likes to keep changing you room's look, paint the walls black as it is a more versatile option. This way you can accent the furniture, accessories with whatever colour or colours you are gravitating towards that moment. Example changing from punk/shocking pink to softer pinks or completely changing it to blues, greens, reds or whites. Note: Black does tend to enclose a room space, but it leaves a room looking glamorous. 

Bedroom Furniture and Storage:

In this case Modern/Contemporary Black Bed set works the best because it gives a more modern and slick look. However Cherry/walnut (dark browns) shades of furniture will also pull it off beautifully. 

Tip: When doing Dark colors, try using modern and light furniture as the room wont look as closed in. 

-          Below is an example: This bed costs $999.97. However with another night table and Cosmo chest it will cost about $1,499.91.This furniture style is not as heavy or light but has good amount of storage. Not my favorite piece but I wanted to give a general idea and example of type of furniture can will fit this environment well. There are millions of other awesome options out there so don't panic! its all about your style!

We plan to create custom furniture and using old pieces. I will not buy such expensive furniture personally as there are other alternatives to get a perfect looking room in cheaper ways. Avoid using traditional heavy furniture as it will fill the room up and make it look congested. 

Smart Tip: Use existing furniture and paint it according to taste. I would paint the existing furniture for this room. Also changing the mattress according to feel, as this gives your room personality and dimension.

Bedroom Accessories:

-         Using pink, black or white or combination of these colors will give character to the room. But in our case we will use grey and pink bed sheets with black and pink accent pillows and 1 yellow round pillow, because why not. Make accenting fun you don't have to be super bound to a theme.
-          As for other accessories, I will either use crystal, metallic grays, or glass (acrylic)accessories because they reflect, giving the illusion of bigger room. Anytime you can see through something and let the eye go further beyond, it makes the space looks larger.
-          Black picture frames if painting the walls pink, otherwise white/greys or silver/pink frames with black.  Avoid using pink if you are on a budget, or paint old frames to pink just to avoid further purchases, if you decide to change up the room theme.

Optional: We will put crystal curtains over/across the bed wall  for the girly/glamour ious touch as accenting but thats our last purchase.    

So that’s it. Hope u enjoyed this :D! Much love! I love doing these, so I hope this interests some of you.

Bandages Obession

I heart Bandages

Is it weird that bandages make me so happy. I get super excited sticking them. I buy pretty bandages because they make the pain go away!(so I believe). We all have a weird obsession. What is your weird obsession?
