Calm it all down...!
by: Charlotte

Hi Mostafa

I love the way you use bright colors in your interior design. You have great creativity and imagination!

I think that in time, you will learn to love your bright pink, even if it is a bit of a shock now. I am sure that when you get a few more colors and bits and pieces into your room, it will calm it all right down...

To cool your room down, avoid adding other 'warm' or 'hot' colors - such as more pinks, reds, oranges or yellows. This will only make your room feel more intense!

Instead, choose cool colors and dark colors (your large room should be able to take it). Pale blues will take the intensity out of the pink, but may make it appear 'pretty' and 'girly' (which may or may not be the look you are going for!?!)

I would try a deep, rich blue or navy blue, alternatively a slate grey or even a rich, chocolate brown. (The brown will give a 'warmer' feel but should take some of the intensity of the pink away!) Look for 'cool' shades (with blue-y tones) and an intensity of color similar to your pink.

If you want to go for something with a slightly 'fresher' or 'livelier' feel, try a vibrant turqouise or teal blue. This would also mix in well, as a third color, with the deep blue, slate grey or chocolate brown.

I hope one of these colors will work for your room, Mostafa.

Our old spare room, (although very tiny) was a gorgeous mix of deep brown, bright white and magenta pink.

I would love to know how you get on.

Best of luck, and I am sure you will soon be loving your pink room.
