Pink And Aqua: Perfect Pairing For Shabby Chic Decorating

Pink And Aqua-The Perfect Pair

This lens is all about pink and aqua, one of my favorite color pairings in Shabby Chic decorating. There's no such thing as too much pink, or too much aqua. Put them together, add a bit of white for accent, and you will love the way your room looks.

Shabby Chic Or Contemporary?

Shabby Chic seems very popular. What's your opinion?

Do you prefer Shabby Chic or Contemporary decorating?

Shabby Chic for me. One can never have enough pink, aqua, or white in their home.

wordstock says:

If I like contemporary, I wouldn't have come here to spend time looking at the pictures. Unfortunately, my husband like contemporary so we have different spaces where we accommodate each others taste.

scarlettohairy says:

I really like the shabby chic look.

allcutestuff says:

I recently renovated my house, I wanted a beach cottage look, you could say its more shabby chic. I'm more relaxed in my house than ever before

KokoTravel says:

Do I call it shabby chic or Country French?

MissMerFaery says:

Definitely shabby chic! I love the softness and the colours, and I'm a sucker for anything vintage :)

Wooden-Crosses says:

You're starting to convince me here Becky, awesome :)

Contemporary for me.

    This is such a pretty colour combination, I think pink and aqua has a timeless appeal. Love the Zazzle items you've featured here.

    Love aqua.... but I think I like it better with white and / or sand than pink. Though the pink and aqua really is nice.
