In rooms for adults you will bring sweetness and softness. However, better in lighter doses like a wardrobe, small pieces like the bedside table, a stool, some puffs…
Combine it with…
- With white to gain luminosity and amplitude.
- With pastel green: although they are opposite colors, their combination is romantic and very natural.
- In small doses: if you want a moderate pink touch choose fabrics with floral prints.
Blue, the touch of serenity
Blue conveys serenity (by the way, serenity blue is another color of the year), so it\’s perfect for rooms where you spend many hours or need to focus. Highlight a blue wall and it will be the center of all eyes, you can do it with paint or wallpaper,as here. In the company of white gains luminosity and a fresh and summery air.

Combine it with…
- Colours that nuance its coldness, such as toasted and beige tones.
