The bold orange and pink fabric for the curtains sets the tone for this bedroom. Rich colours are picked up in the buttoned pink velvet headboard, fitted bedspread and cushions. The wide band of contrast tape on the bedspread, cushion edging in hot pink and orange and the other accessories all work to ensure a successful scheme.
HOW TO MAKE IT WORK
• Complement dramatic pattern with plains and stripes in similar shades.
• Shades of pink and orange mix well to create bright, bold impact.
• Pale walls make a good backdrop for strong patterns and colours.
• Mixing contemporary pieces with painted furniture has eclectic appeal.
