Living Spaces Trends

Just rosy!

Written by Hasmita Amtha

One of Pantone’s Colours of the Year for 2016, Rose Quartz is like the gemstone it’s named after. A soft shade of pink that brings a sense of beauty to any space, the colour is not quite a pastel, but still manages to provide a subtle, feminine elegance.

Adding Rose Quartz to your home is definitely something to consider, as feng shui therapists advise: “By bringing the crystal in all parts of the home, the gemstone is known to be powerfully connected to the heart, and therefore constantly radiates a soothing flow of love.”

Here are a few inspiring ways to bring this trending shade into your home:

Splash some paint

Calm in the chaos. I feel as if this shade of pink does just that, providing calmness, but at the same time keeping it trendy. In this office, Rose Quartz instantly gives the bold and monochromatic space a soothing effect.

The bold and the beautiful

There’s nothing quite like coming home to a comfy couch. Why not go bold and upholster your old favourite in this beautiful shade of pink?

The art of accessorising

One of the easiest ways to add update your home is by renewing your small decor pieces. From your scatters, vases and throws to even a lamp, you can freshen up your interiors without a complete makeover. If you still feel you need something more, move your furniture around and bring in pieces from other parts of your home, just to liven up the space.

Fine details

Part of the foundation of a room, rugs provide elegance and comfort, and have the ability to transform a space by adding colour and patterns. We love this big rug paired with neutral-toned furniture pieces.
