Ice Cream Parlour

With the sunshine finally upon us its time to inject some summertime fun into our home interiors. An ICE CREAM PARLOUR inspired home interior will create a stylish and bright ambiance in both modern and traditional homes with some décor, accessories and furniture. This look brings together soft and scrumptious pastel tones with classic cafe style elegance to create a light and chic finish within the home.

Firstly select some mouthwatering pastel and ice cream shades that will look wonderful alone or mixed and matched across your interior space. Opt for classic colours such as mint, vanilla, strawberry and chocolate for a simple and stylish colour palette that can be paired with a traditional vertical striped wallpaper for a seaside inspired design that is fun and fresh. For a more modern design then select bolder, contemporary tones such as watermelon, bubblegum, banana and raspberry ripple that can be complimented by a horizontal striped or spotted wallpaper or geometric patterns for a more bold and eye-catching finish. If bright or pastel hues are not your style then stick to Parisian inspired colour combinations such as chocolate, vanilla and caramel that can be combined with an Eiffel Tower or cafe print wallpaper for a chic and sophisticated interior look.

Another simple way to create an ice cream parlour inspired design in your home interior is with a selection of fabrics and upholstery that will add a splash of colour and pattern to even the plainest of interior spaces. Classic candy cane striped fabric will look wonderful across curtains, cushions and bedding and can be displayed in simple, white and pastel colour schemes or a more intricate combination of ice cream tones for a brighter and more cheerful interior design. If you prefer more visually detailed patterns and prints then you could opt for cushions and bedding that feature ice cream cones, sundae glasses or sprinkle effect patterns that will create a bright and fun feel in any living room or bedroom interior.

Painted furniture is still as popular as ever and with such a wide range of styles and colours to choose from you really will be spoiled for choice. Crisp white painted furniture will create a light and bright feel against the bold pastel backdrop and is perfect for creating the illusion of space in smaller rooms of the home. If you are a lover of colour then opt for French style furniture in soft pastel pink, blue, mint or lemon with striped handles or knobs for a fun and eye-catching finish. To create a fun parlour inspired look then why not fill a pastel painted dresser with a multitude of shabby chic style floral cups, saucers and crockery and add some ice cream inspired wall art featuring cafe lined streets, beach huts or ice cream sundaes in chic painted or mirrored frames for added visual impact on a feature wall.
