What is February 14 without a Valentine’s Day rose? I don’t mean the kind that withers and dies, rather the beautiful and soft dusty rose color palette found in home furnishings and elegant lighting.
Candy and flowers are fine, but wouldn’t you rather express your love with something that lasts longer and is non-caloric? The New Victorian Ruralist, Marcus Design and The Enchanted Home had some dreamy images of pale rose that beckon.
Many people have a problem with the idea of dusty rose. For some it reminds them of a grandmothers apartment and for others some type of 1970s ensemble.
May I dispel those notions?
Look how soft and welcoming this color can be, especially in cashmere pillows and throws not to mention those romantic lamp shades. Pink colored replacement lamp shades are a great way to create a romantic mood in any room but also a wonderful way to add subtle color to a monochromatic space.
This feminine bent may not be to everybody’s liking, however, when used sparingly it infuses a room with a subtle elegance.To me there is something so terribly Parisian about soft dusty rose-it creates a mood. So when somebody mentions pale or dusty rose as a design direction I urge you to give it chance...and not just for Valentine’s Day.
Here are few ideas on how to introduce romantic dusty rose into your home.
1. I love the marriage between modern lines and the romantic colored shade in the Lights Up! Zoe Rose Tweed Floor Lamp with Tray.
2. The Pink Roses Giclee Brushed Steel Table Lamp is a playful way to introduce florals into a feminine bedroom.
3. Create romance in the bathroom or dressing room with the Crystorama Angelina Blush Mini Chandelier.
4. You can snuggle up in style with the Barley Pink Signature Cashmere Blend Throw Blanket.
5. I daresay roses may look better in the Pisa Pale Pink Glass Trumpet Vase.
