art studio scheme: white, pink & green

The white, pink & green interior design scheme is highly feminine, fresh and frilly- flowered in this artist’s studio posted by County Cottage.  I’m always suspect of these types of studios because it’s hard for me to imagine making such a commitment long term to one set of color combinations. I generally like to work with pieces and colors that can be intermixed over a long period of time.  I think of these spaces as initially beautiful and attractive but then the magic just sort of starts wearing off. They remind me of my cousin Christine’s bedroom when we were growing up – her scheme was white, yellow and green (frogs) and had the very same effect.  Always looking so clean and crisp almost like she never even slept there!

What works here is the functional drawer spaces of the converted sideboard and the somewhat retro wood shelf unit which this artist has highlighted with a very sweet pink and red hearts border.  This studio LOOKS like a sewing room or a place dedicated to fabric, even if it is a bit heavy with the wood element with the floor and furniture.  A bit more of the metal element in mirrors or accent pieces would help the balance.  Very clean, crisp, and ultra-feminine, if but a bit on the adolescent side in terms of the design maturity, this artist is thinking about organization, scheme and interplay. Small hints that could help in unifying this design would be rosette ceramic drawer pulls, a continuation of hung lace over the middle shelf of the wall unit, fabric ties on the curtains, and a matching rug on the floor.  I’d also like to see a bit more color on the top shelf of the wall unit, perhaps a pink or green wire fitting form.
