Style of decoration
If we have to define a style, as in any environment is rather complex to identify. We can say that it is a bit of this and that. In this case we would say that it has some romantic, some Chic, with enough children's touches and much creativity.

Colors used
Chocolate color has been used on all the walls and even in the color of the ceiling, giving a finish base in all kinds of pink shades, but without dark tone to lose protagonism in the set.

All accessories, cushions and fabrics are roses, Fuchsias and pastry, taking care to keep the monochrome of the supplements but doing them at the same time as sufficiently particular to each of them. Words of the designer:

Decorative accessories:
Last first printing of colors in its play of tones and contrast we have sought to observe the detail of accessories. In this case Shimmers the personality of the designer and the inhabitant of the place, particular elements and personal touches make light warmth and sweetness that has been achieved.

Painting the Ceiling Color

The ceiling is the surface of an environment that receives less light from the outside (but even if you have small windows) and usually it is customary to paint it a color white, or very mild, to maintain clarity in the room. This also makes the roof more high in appearance. But this should not be taken always to the letter and can be experienced with a variety of colors, in the same way as on the walls.

Painting the ceiling color 1

If you choose too dark, the tone of the walls should be more clearly, to not subtract too much lighting environment. Also with a dark ceiling and light walls create the opposite effect to the one previously described, "lowering the ceiling" and that may not seem too high, and which, in turn, a stay may seem wider, which is usually used in narrow corridors.

Painting the ceiling color 3

In the case of using the same tone for walls and ceilings can be done as in the last picture on this post, where the union between the two surfaces United in a "whole" by color is lost. Or instead use moldings that delimit walls and sky, which in addition to being a very nice decorative touch, highlights the architecture of the place.

Painting the ceiling color 4

Hardly it is necessary to talk about colors. Often treated in PintoMiCasa, warm colors create a welcoming and active atmosphere, cold colors give freshness and tranquility. The ceiling is just to give that touch of warmth or freshness, especially with cool colors as the light blue or blue in hot climates.

Beige and Purple, a Beautiful Combination

It is true that beige is a wildcard. If we do not know how to paint the walls, this can be a good choice, and goes well with almost any color and hue. You can create pleasant environments combined with neutral tones or pastels, or more elegant and attractive with tones more dark and intense.

Beige and purple, a beautiful combination 1

One of the colors most conducive to combine to the beige is purple, or any shade of violet and its myriad of names. In different measures, more than one, less than the other, everything depends on our tastes and the proportions of the atmosphere that fence to decorate.

Beige and purple, a beautiful combination 2

Neutral tone is usually used for the walls, and leave the intense color for dietary supplements and some fabrics, such as cushions, curtains, carpets, full furniture, or just a detail. But there is another alternative, more risky, use the purple walls and leave the beige for the smallest.

The neutral color can also approach a cream, sand, or almost a broken white. Violet close to a very intense pink, or on the contrary, a hue very soft, and in this way achieve rooms more delicate.

This combination always you can add other shades to make the whole more colorful and thus expand the used letter. White is always a good third color, and to a lesser extent also used grey, roses, soft Greens, soft orange or dark woods.
