Oh So Pretty

If you are a little bit girly (like me) then an OH SO PRETTY interior design is perfect for adding some soft and feminine features into your home interior. This trend brings together a variety of feminine colour palettes, chic accessories, flowing fabrics and elegant furniture to create a delicate visual finish that is cosy yet uplifting.

There are two distinct ways you can tackle this trend. Firstly you can create a modern, girly interior that blends fun and contemporary accessories with classic colours and finishes or secondly you can opt for a more shabby chic inspired design that will mix and match a variety of pattern and fabrics to create a cosy cottage style charm within your chosen room.

If you prefer a modern look then try and opt for contemporary twists on traditional colour palettes. Select a variety of dusky colours such as blush, heart wood, damson and mulberry and partner with crisp white or soft dove grey for a pretty tonal finish. When selecting soft furnishings for your interior, opt for modern floral prints and patterns or select more fun designs such as hearts, shoes or Hollywood icons that will create visual detail in your chosen space. You can also include some glitter and faux fur cushions and a plush shag pile rug in soft pastel or grey and display some sepia or black and white photos and prints for some old school Hollywood charm. Opt for chic white or matt black French carved furniture and include some crystal door and drawer handles for added opulence. Select a matching furniture set or concentrate on a specific statement item such as a dressing table or armoire that is sure to create a feminine focal point within a bedroom or dressing room interior.

A cosy and traditionally feminine interior look can be achieved with a selection of classic pastel colour tones and soft and rich cream and beige that can be teamed with a polka dot or floral wallpaper for a girly interior look. When selecting fabrics for your interior space, opt for floral patterns, lace and crochet with knitted or embroidered designs that will look great on a classic white sofa or bedding set. Include some voile or net curtains on your window areas that can be accented with some pastel coloured or floral shaped enamel tie backs. Include some traditional country style furniture painted in white or pastel colours or up-cycle your old furniture items with some decoupage and chalk paint. Select large items such as a statement Welsh dresser and fill with a selection of vintage crockery, teapots and ornaments featuring floral, heart and spotted patterns that can be mixed and matched around the room. Include traditional ceiling lights and lamps in fabric and fringed designs that will create a kitsch cosy feel in any room of the home.
