Pretty (but not) in pink

Not every little girl likes pink or purple – and a fairy floss room can can be downright embarrassing for a teenager. But girl’s rooms can still be feminine and pretty in a swathe of other colours, with perhaps a hint of pink thrown in if they (or you) really can’t live without it.
If repainting the walls isn’t an option, then you’ll just have to work with what you’ve got. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, with a bit of creative thinking, it can result in something uniquely stylish.

The romance of France
A room with blue, white or cream walls can lend itself beautifully to a French provincial theme. The French provincial look is a mixture of elegant and rustic furnishings teamed with accessories in yellows, blues and whites. Furniture and picture frames in faded or whitewashed timber, blue, pink and yellow prints and floral fabrics will create the look. Pastel or white painted walls are a great basis for a shabby chic style. This is easily achieved with a big comfy chair from a flea market covered in a patchwork quilt, an old trunk or suitcase used as a bedside table, baskets and lace curtains.
Modern marvel
Neutral coloured walls can be used as a foil for the bright splashes of colour and bold patterns of the contemporary look. Think reds, greens and browns teamed with modular accessories.
