Summary:

"How do you always find me?" Colette would ask every time, pouting.

"Because I'm the best seeker around for miles!" Lloyd would declare, grinning.

Their disastrous first game of hide-and-seek, and a promise made between children.

Notes: A short fluffy fic about hide-and-seek, featuring a lot of kids being kids!

~~~

Their first game of hide-and-seek, when Colette was eleven, was… something of a disaster. Even that was something of an understatement, considering the situation she found herself in now - shivering and alone.

Lloyd was the one to introduce it, like always, this game where one person covered their eyes and everyone else ran around like headless chickens. He was the one that coaxed her and Genis into trying out the games that they were all no stranger to - having spent many years peering out the window at the other children, caught in the middle of merriment - but had never experienced for themselves. He would clamour on about whatever exciting game had caught his interest at the moment, gesturing wildly, infectious energy spreading from him. So much, that even Genis couldn’t help but succumb, leading the three of them to make plans in hushed whispers during class, always in danger of getting an earful from Professor Raine but revelling in the thrill of it.

And then they would carry out their plans, clumsily, but always with childish exuberance flooding the air. Giggles bubbling from her chest while Lloyd grinned, Genis letting out a laugh of his own. It would end in disaster half the time - things just had a tendency to go awry when it was the three of them - sometimes burying them head-to-toe in mud, sometimes completely drenching them, and sometimes leaving them covered in tiny scratches and bruises, though they were never happier.

They never learned their lesson. Because they did it, over and over again, her and Genis always following Lloyd’s lead. It was so easy to fall into step behind him, to trust in him to bring them on fantastical adventures full of joy and wonder, that they had once barely known. Like he was a captain, leading his measly, but very enthusiastic crew, onwards with large, confident steps.

Which led to them starting an ill-advised game of hide-and-seek in front of Dirk’s house in the late afternoon after school, each one of them raring to win. Even the usually reserved Genis was bouncing on the balls of his feet, a competitive fire burning in his eyes. The matter of setting boundaries, one of the most important parts of hide-and-seek, had slipped their minds completely. Or perhaps it had never occurred to them at all, three children utterly lost in the heat of the moment.

The games their classmates played were always confined to the school grounds, the insistent ringing of the bell by Professor Raine a sign to stop or face her wrath.

Out here, there was no indicator for the game to end, no barrier as to how far they could wander. They could go on forever if they wished to, until they disappeared beyond the edge of the forest, perhaps even past the edge of the world.

And that was how Colette came to be sitting here, in this log that acted as her hiding spot, for the past two hours.

She’d been confident that no one would find her here - this massive log hollowed out by rot that she had only found by complete accident, tripping and tumbling head-first into this space on one of the days that she’d wandered into the fringes of the forest to get away from everything. She’d sat up rubbing her head, hoping there wouldn’t be a bump arising in the next few hours - only to find that she couldn’t see past the entrance of the log, wreathed in deep green, the overgrown leaves hiding her away from the world. Crawling out had revealed that the entrance was completely obscured, nigh invisible to someone who didn’t already know it was there.

It had become her go-to spot, when she just needed to be alone, to bury her face in her knees, let the weight of everything press down fully and leave her in the form of sobs that wracked her shoulders, her back trembling, here where no one could hear her.

Past the river, turning right at the stone that resembled Noishe, pushing past the branches that scratched at her skin.

The same path she had followed as Lloyd had bellowed out the countdown, hands cupped over his mouth and voice audible even through the denseness of the forest.

She’d sat here, relaxed with her legs stretched out before her, feeling ever so proud of herself. Her first game of hide-and-seek, and she would be clinching the victory!

That certainty had given way to doubt as time continued its inexorable march, each second almost tangible as Colette struggled to keep track of them. It felt like they were all piling atop each other, her mind sluggish as her eyelids grew heavy. The cold wasn’t helping matters - the morning had certainly started off more chilly than usual, but it hadn’t been this bad. The temperature must have plunged since she’d gotten here, and it was enough to make her huddle her knees close to her chest, rubbing her hands together as she shivered.

She knew she’d been here for too long, but she didn’t want to leave, an uncharacteristic stubbornness gripping her. It wasn’t fair that she was the one who had to leave and risk getting tagged! That would mean immediate defeat!

It wasn't fair... But nothing was fair...

No, she would stay here, she decided, clinging on to the idea of victory, of winning the bet that she’d made with Lloyd. She would be the one to snack on the last of Grandma’s odd number of baked cookies! No more would she have to duel Lloyd for the rights to it, a duel that usually ended with the two of them rolling across the ground, each aiming to subdue the other with tickles. The victorious would get to experience a delightful sweetness that melted in the mouth, while the loser had to watch the final mouth-watering cookie disappear.

She would spare herself the trouble this weekend by deciding things, here and now.

The heaviness continued to press on her, however, no amount of painting imaginary scenes of playful dogs on the walls keeping it away. The darkness claimed her not soon after, head falling slack against the wood behind her.

~~~

She awoke with a violent sneeze, the shivers returning in full force as she wrapped her arms around herself.

She registered a thudding sound overhead, and glanced up with bleary eyes. It appeared that sometime during her sleep, the heavens had opened up. It would certainly explain why it was so cold.

The roof appeared to be leak-free, thankfully, though there was a shallow layer of water filling the bottom of the log, even more slowly seeping in through the entrance. The bottom of her white robes was submerged, and she knew they’d be heavy if she attempted to stand, water falling off her in rivulets.

Colette had to concede by now that staying in here wasn't as comfortable as she'd once thought it would be, her legs starting to cramp from being squeezed in this position for so long.

Where were Genis and Lloyd? Was Genis still hiding, or had he been found? And what about Lloyd? Was he still running around everywhere, poking his head in every nook and cranny, peeking around every corner, trying his very best to find her?

Or had he given up entirely?

That last thought sent something dark crawling into her heart. And no matter how much she told herself that it was just a stupid fear her tired mind was conjuring up, for she knew she wouldn't be stuck in here forever, knew that she would most certainly be seeing her friends again... It was futile. The cold could only spread, a cold deeper than the shivers she currently felt.

She was alone here. Alone, in a way she hadn't been for a long time. She hadn't realised, just how much she would miss the company of her friends when they weren't by her side.

Was this what it would feel like, once she left everyone behind? She would be all alone then too. Where no one could see her, or hear her, or even know where she was... Where the only thing she knew would be silence, eating away at her...

She buried her face in her knees, but there were no tears this time. She was too tired to move, and it felt like she was gradually becoming as motionless as the wood that surrounded her.

Slowly rotting…

The rustling of leaves at the entrance gained her attention, her head raising as she realised that the thudding had grown significantly softer in the time that had passed.

She watched, as slowly, a hand poked through the curtain of green, followed by a familiar head of brown hair, and then the entire body of a boy, tumbling to a stop before her. It was almost strange to gaze upon a human again after not seeing one in so long, but it was just Lloyd. Familiar old Lloyd, if a very drenched Lloyd, hair falling into his eyes and clothes two shades darker than usual.

"I finally found you! Wow, this is a good hiding spot," Lloyd said in a whisper as he picked himself off the floor, unwilling to talk loudly in the sacred confines of the log. Only to bang his head against the top of it, letting out a little squeak as he quickly sat down, rubbing his head sheepishly.

"It's my private little spot," she whispered back, smiling at Lloyd’s antics. The words felt a little foreign in her ears after such a long period of silence, but it felt good, to finally say something. To hear her voice again.

"Oh! Sorry for intruding..." The tip of Lloyd’s ears flushed a little red, his expression shifting minutely. Why, she didn’t know.

She only knew that it made giggles burst out of her, the strange misery that had been filling her chest vacating instantly like it had never been there, the hole it left behind filled with that bright happiness she always felt in Lloyd's presence. "Don't be silly, Lloyd. I'm glad you found me.”

I was starting to think you never would…

"I'm glad I found you too! I promise, I'll always find you!" Lloyd declared with a confident grin, his hand grabbing hers. And despite the droplets of water rolling down his hand - for he must have been looking for her even in the heavy rain - his fingers were so, so warm. She couldn’t help but grip onto his hand tightly, letting the ever-present warmth he exuded chase away the cold biting into her bones, let it stop the shivers, even if for just this moment.

“Now, let’s go home,” he said gently, leading her out into the open, the word “home” echoing in her heart. Always leading her, with her hand in his. It was how she knew she was safe.

In the outside that she’d nearly forgotten existed, rainwater dripped from leaves, creating an almost mini-shower that landed on her face and made her blink.

“Where’s Genis?”

“Oh, he was hiding by the riverside. I found him pretty quickly! He’s gone home. But, uh,” Lloyd muttered, averting his gaze. “Your father’s here. You’ve been gone for quite a while.”

“I see…” she murmured, head bowing.

Father would no doubt scold her harshly once she got home. The Chosen wasn’t supposed to partake in such frivolous activities, not least ones that endangered her. Such irresponsible behaviour wouldn’t be easily forgiven by the Church.

“It is my fault for not setting a time limit! Dad’s hammered that into my head already, so I can just tell your father that!”

“No, it’s fine,” Colette replied, shaking her head. “Thank you, but I was the one who decided to stay in there for so long.” She couldn’t even explain it now, why the need to do so had been so strong, so insistent. It had been a foolish thing to do.

Some strange act of defiance, nothing more than a childish impulse - the kind not allowed of the Chosen.

“Hey, it’s not that serious!” Lloyd retorted, chasing away her thoughts as the two of them fell into a playful argument that lasted until they left the darkness of the forest and stepped back into the dim light of the evening, washing the world in a coat of warm orange and pink.

Most people would label this a terrible experience. One that ended in Father berating her, and both her and Lloyd falling victim to a terrible cold, as Genis lamented having gone along with everything.

Yet she cherished it anyway. The aftermath wasn’t all bad, after all. Lloyd had recovered first, and spent the days where she remained on bedrest sitting by her bedside, feeding her cookie after cookie, taking none for himself. “A treat,” he exclaimed, waving another cookie in the air and dropping crumbs everywhere as she alternated between sneezing and laughing so hard her stomach hurt.

And she couldn’t help but paint the promise Lloyd had made into vivid memory, memorise the warmth of his hand.

Though she never did figure out how he found her.

The answer to that question continued to elude her in future hide-and-seek games, where Lloyd never failed to sniff out her hiding place, no matter how hard she tried. Scarily fast too. Maybe he just possessed a good eye?

In response to her grumbling and pouting, he would only grin. And declare, “Because I'm the best seeker around for miles!"

He never made mention of the promise he’d made her. To him, surely it must have been nothing more than a trivial turn of phrase, not to be taken seriously and easily forgotten.

That was alright. It was enough for only her to remember, and to continue having fun with her friends, in the time she still had left.

~~~

"Thank you," she whispered, wrapping her arms around Lloyd, glad to feel his warmth again after weeks of empty coldness. "For... finding me."

How strange of her, to put it that way. What Lloyd had done was tirelessly work to restore her soul, to let her take control of her body again instead of being locked behind a thousand chains. But it truly felt like he had reached into the darkness and found her, pulled her out into the light.

Just as he’d done when they were little children still filled with naive hope, in the hollow of a log. And countless times after. Always leading her, back into safety, back into the world, back home. Sometimes playfully, sometimes desperately, but always, always ensuring he never let go.

She felt Lloyd's laughter reverberate through her, shaky but full of joy.

"I promised, didn't I? That I would always find you."

How silly, she thought, burying her face in his chest as laughter shook her shoulders as well. How silly that he would still remember such a trivial little promise. How silly of the both of them. Like it meant the world to him in the same way it did to her.

His hands resting on her back, he pulled her closer, and she could not be any more at peace.

Here, where she was safe in his arms. Here, where hope still shined strong, and childish joy still thrived.

Here, where she never needed to hide, and so would never be lost again.

15 best examples of medium blonde hair this year

Medium blonde hair is a shade of blonde hair color paired with a shoulder length cut. If you love a soft and subtle contrast, these beautiful blondes will crush your newest color!

Medium blonde can go anywhere between honey, sand, dirt, ash, copper or gold blonde tones. These warm and cool blonde tones all have the natural looking vibe that's ideal if you want to do a balayage or ombre – like girls Margot Robbie, Gwen Stefani, Ciara and Gigi Hadid do.

Blonde and balayage specialist Justine Petrucci recommends getting a trim or haircut, especially if you're trading darker shades against blonde. "I want to know that they are leaving the salon with healthy blonde hair that will grow nicely," she says, as bleaching the hair can be harmful.

"Trust your colorist to give you an opinion on tones and placements that suit you," says Justine. It is important that you first look at your skin tone and eye color before choosing which shade you want to rock, and this is where your trusted hairdresser can help you.

When asked about maintenance, she suggests, “replace your normal conditioner with a mask or treatment. After lightening, our hair needs more moisture. Everyone washes their hair, so I know that even the busiest customers can do it! ” Olaplex is one of their number 1 must-have products as it strengthens and strengthens hair beautifully.

Do this oh-so-cute hair in many beautiful ways! Here are the best medium blonde hair color ideas this year.

Medium-length sand blonde

A virgin mane is not always attainable with dull hair color and smooth strands. This medium length sand blonde hair allows you to have a new look that matches your simplicity. This blonde shade is not too pale to hold your locks.

Medium to long, strong blonde

A medium to long, rich blonde hair color to give your thick curls a makeover! Texture and soft waves are all you need to pull off such a graceful edge. Opt for a midsection style, and subtle curtain bangs to give it a modern spin.

How would you describe this look?

That look in particular was a decision that had to be made for a customer who needed to take a break from lightening her hair. This was her first visit to me, and after examining her hair and integrity, I decided to speak for her hair in healthier choices.

We decided to give her more of a shag cut with some curtain bangs to help mix the shorter layers around her face from breakage. For her color we decided to take it up a level and added some gold and light ash tones to give her a nice neutral wheat finish.

Any advice for someone considering it?

You should be able to handle bangs or a shorter face frame and layers for style purposes. Also understand that you can give your hair a darker and richer caramel blonde feel without being brown!

Medium length blonde ombre

The beauty of this medium-length blonde ombre is that you have enough curls to style it. Thin and loose waves or a classic low bun emphasize the lighter ends and the coin. So if you're not a fan of monthly color touchups, this balayage is your thing.

How would you describe this look?

The first thing that jumps into my head to describe this look that I created would be tangled beach blonde hair. I love this cut and color because of the texture and movement. The money piece in front creates a frame or halo around her face, while the inside leaves depth and dimension to enhance the blonde and give it a soft blend.

Any advice for someone considering it?

This style is my concern. If you are someone who wants low maintenance with a light growout, this type of look is for you whether you want to be a blonde, brunette, or redhead. Balayage only complements your natural color by itself, so you don't necessarily have to cover it up or add another color if necessary. Customers often want to be blonde than they already are, but a good way to do that without compromising hair health would be to add lowlights. This creates contrast, which makes the blonde appear lighter and thicker.

I love a living style (loose waves and texture) for which any hair type can be given. Another way to help with styling your hair like this is to use a 1-2 ″ curling barrel (depending on the length of hair or the curl you want) so that the ends come out and finish with a dry texture spray to it to give a tousled or messy look.

Gold blonde highlights for medium hair

“The perfect depth with the right brightness!” This is how hair colorist Katelynn from Wauconda, IL describes the look. These are the gorgeous golden blonde highlights for medium hair. The root melt and the foil lay-out make the entire color intense to harmonize with voluminous waves.

Mid-length bright blonde

This medium length light blonde hair color will give you the dimension of your dreams! The combination of baby lights and highlights made by balayage create emphasis and depth. This creamy blonde hue looks flawless on textured, wavy curls.

Dirty blonde for medium length hair

Here's a dirty blonde for medium length hair for such a classic look! The dimension is undeniable and will be fantastic on your beach waves with a dark blonde base. Stay away from the unwanted brass tone with a purple shampoo.

Shoulder length warm blonde

A shoulder-length warm blonde hair that matches your straight, thick hair! Movement of the waves looks effortless and even outlines the babylights and balayage here. It has a golden hue that is guaranteed to flatter light skin tones.

Medium to Short Strawberry Blonde

Slay a dark-rooted medium to short strawberry blonde hair color as soon as possible! It will increase your light complexion and of course your shine. Messy looking wavy hair and texture are what brings excitement to this whole trend.

Medium-short white blonde with darker roots

Shadow root in this icy balayage will make the process of hair growth the least of your concern. This medium-short white blonde hair with darker roots has a depth that helps the color highlight a dimension. Adding texture and waves to create movement makes this shaggy bob perfect for women with fine hair. It's one of my favorite medium blonde hairstyles here!

Medium blonde balayage

Nobody resists shoulder-length praise with waves! Slay a medium ash blonde balayage like a rock star and you'll love the depths at your root. Complete the style by adding waves to your curls and keeping the ends straight.

Clavicle length dark blonde

How breathtaking can your balayage be? There is a fresh vibe on this collarbone-long dark blonde hair when styled with waves. The river seems flawless, especially on this beige chocolate balayage.

Medium length light blonde

Works for any hair length, shadow root ensures depth of color of your choice. Try this medium length light blonde hair if you want to get lighter this time. The multilayer chop is ideal if you want to remove weight from your hair tips.

Medium-long cool blonde

Upset with your dry hair ends and brassy tone? Bring the vividness of your curls back with this hoe and color! You can keep it a bit longer with a more relaxed shade of blonde. Time to switch to this medium length cool blonde hair color for a whole new hairstyle. Foilayage technology gently brightens the locks and fits most skin types. It does the perfect with soft waves.

Ice blonde on medium length hair

Looks flawless from the root to the end! This icy blonde on medium length hair will love the balayage and ombre. Both methods, when working hand in hand along the beach waves, give you a fine finish.

Platinum blonde on medium hair

If you have thin curls that sit a few inches above your shoulders, you can kill this look without sweat. Platinum blonde on medium hair will flatter your beautiful complexion. Volume around the hairline will freshen up your face and highlight the layers of your kotel.

101 Pink Bedrooms With Images, Tips And Accessories To Help You Decorate Yours

Pink has become a highly desirable accent colour, not just in sugary sweet little girls’ rooms but in sophisticated master bedrooms alike (and just about every other room of the home too!) Pink decor is a hot topic right now and so we’ve put together a gorgeous collection of 101 of our favourite pink bedrooms and blush bedroom accessories, plus tips to help you imagine your very own. Hitting every part of the pink colour spectrum, we explore rosy accent walls, hot pink headboard feature walls, solid pink bed bases, stylish pink bedroom benches, chairs, lamps and rugs, and peaceful pink bed sets.

Visualizer: Olia Paliichuk Make pink the headline – or the headboard. If you don’t want a whole room full of blush pink then how about just a headboard feature wall? Keep other colours in the room within the same muted colour palette so that the scheme melds peacefully together, like this soft green accent rug, grey bed covers and curtains.

Visualizer: Arina Zamorina You can also add a little texture to your pink headboard feature wall by adding slats. Accentuate the finished look with some stylish bedroom pendant lights too. These gold ones are the IC Lights S Style Pendant. The original is available here.

Visualizer: Design Lyiv Go all in. If you’re an all or nothing kind of personality, then an all pink bedroom scheme should hit the mark. Go for a shade of pink paint that is warm and soothing so that the bedroom remains a calm and welcoming place. Choose all white furniture to cut crisp and clean silhouettes.

Visualizer: Daria Alieva Change your tone. Brighten dusky shades with bright coral elements to bring things bang up to date.

Visualizer: Yuliya Chudinovskikh Chic and shiny. A grey and pink bedroom scheme makes a chic combination but can fall a little flat on its own. Metallic accents like these twin pendant lights and small side tables add in a little sparkle. Whether you go for warm copper, light gold accents, or complement the pink tones of your room with rose gold lamps and accessories, it will be a harmonious pairing.

Visualizer: Martin's Make your bed into a peaceful pink island, in the middle of a calm white sea.

Source: Street Workshop, Etsy Plush pink bed sets look fresher when layered with white sheets and pure white pillows.

Visualizer: Art Group Add a blast of contrast. If you’re looking for a second strong colour to contrast and complement pink decor, then teal is a terrific option. Coming from the opposite side of the colour wheel, this blue-green hue makes a bold partner for pink. You can combine the two easily by layering up bedclothes, or go duotone on wardrobe finishes. There are contrasting bedroom benches in this particular example too, but this time grey has been chosen to create a quieter balance…

Visualizer: Maggi Samir A similar balance can be achieved with a teal, pink and brown bedroom palette.

Visualizer: Andrew Athanasius Meld colours with a piece of wall art. In this pink and blue bedroom design, peacock blue accentuates a pink textured headboard feature wall. Rose gold orbs drop down by a piece of wall art that brings the two hues together. A rose gold bedside table lamp echoes the metallic tone on the opposite side of the blue bed.

Visualizer: Andrew Athanasius Frame it, frame it, frame it. The cushioned headboard in this pink and grey bedroom has been set within three more frames, resulting in a grander headboard that also reaches behind the bedside units.

Visualizer: Tien nguyen There’s boiserie, and then there’s pink boiserie. This traditional wall treatment looks tooth-achingly delicious in sweet pink. Pink drapes, bed, pink bedroom bench and a pink area rug continue the delicate tone.

Visualizer: Maria Novikova More pink boiserie, this time within a pink and green interior design.

Visualizer: Andrey Barinov Pink painted traditional features fill the ceiling in this bedroom, where a modern pink light shade dangles from a classic ceiling rose. Decorative coving creates a beautiful border.

Visualizer: ZROBYM architects Weight down a light decor scheme with darker elements. Black bedside lights bring dark base notes to this pale pink modern bedroom. An asymmetrical design is created by hanging a pendant light at one side, and mounting a modern wall sconce at the other.

Visualizer: Archionica Shape up. This pink and purple bedroom scheme uses graphic shapes for an uber contemporary feel.

Visualizer: Andrey Barinov Grow a natural theme by adding green and wood accents. A pink and green bedroom with wooden elements evokes a sense of nature that will aid with relaxation.

Visualizer: Nam Quang Đặng Meet the colour scheme halfway. It’s no new thing to paint walls in two different colours on their upper and lower half, but a loose paint technique that this one adds modern and carefree character.

Source: A Beautiful Mess Wrap the room with pink wainscot for a smart classic take on the candy colour.

Source: Amazon Look to luxe to add romance. The lustrous wall art, pendant light shade and furniture trims in this pink and gold bedroom add a dash of luxury. Get that gorgeous golden light here.

Visualizer: Maggi Samir Be selective. By picking out just a few of your favourite pink pieces you can put together a pink bedroom scheme that isn’t overbearing. In this example, a piece of modern artwork is the muse for the room, and has been given a pink backdrop that brings out its colours. Plush pink window drapes, pink pendant lights and a pink beanbag join the exhibit.

Visualizer: Ruslan Kovalchuk, Mariya Chmut and Stephen Tsimbalyuk Not all pink bedrooms are sweetness and light. Dusky pink and dark grey bedrooms have have touch of shadowy drama. Add a backlit glass closet to proceedings and you’ve really got yourself a show.

Visualizer: Olga Pavlyk These dusky pink closets have a textured finish to make them stand out from the rest of the pink crowd.

Visualizer: Ekaterina Svanberg Tie it together with taupe. Pink and black bedroom accents rest well against a taupe backdrop, as the warm yet neutral colour works as a colour bridge between the two.

Designer: 荣烨 Lovers of the eclectic vibe will be tickled pink with this one. Yellow ochre, cobalt blue, brown elements and pale pink come together with tiny streaks of gold in a magical boho melting pot.

Visualizer: АНҐАР студія Give your pink bedroom some jewellery. Add a bit of ‘bling’ with sparkly pendants, shiny wallpaper prints and multiple decorative wall mirrors.

Visualizer: VizLine Studio Use colour to define areas of use. A pink slatted wall panel covers the area behind a vanity table in this bedroom, clearly separating the makeup table from the bed.

Visualizer: Maggi Samir The padded pink wall section in this room marks the sleep and relaxation zone – with a dressing table and closets left out in the grey zone.

Visualizer: Hi-Light Architects Put it in lights. There’s nothing subtle about a neon sign, a giant terrarium or a bold pink wallpaper, but who said a bedroom had to be subtle?

Visualizer: Dezest Break it to make it. These green, black and white elements nicely break up this pink decor scheme, and balance each other out perfectly.

Visualizer: Dima Kravtsov & Alina Buligіna Pink doesn’t have to be the main event. Just because you want to feature pink in your bedroom, that doesn’t mean you have to make it the most dominant thing. The focal point of this bed is a showstopping white mandala headboard; the pink throw, accent cushions and pink bedroom chair provide a solid supporting act.

Visualizer: Andrei Erokhin Just a few pink bedroom accessories colour this predominantly white bedroom.

Visualizer: Filip Sapojnicov Curate small clusters of pink. You might colour just the closets and a vanity table, or just the bed and a reading corner like in this cozy bedroom. Keep the majority of the room white so that pink furniture, a rug or floor lamp will really stand out.

Visualizer: Angel black Dress the room from head to toe. A bedroom that is completely enveloped in one colour, from ceiling to floor, will gain much needed colour relief in the form of a contrasting accent chair and bright home accessories. This example brings in warm sunshine yellow accents as a cheerful touch.

Visualizer: Pikcells Ltd Redesign your door. White walls, white trims and white floors fill this Scandinavian bedroom. In order not to disturb the peace, only the door has been painted with a hint of pink to match a pink bed set.

Visualizer: Ruslan Kovalchuk & Stephen Tsimbalyuk Double the room colour with a huge mirror.

Visualizer: Olia Paliichuk Paint with pastels. Pastel pink and powder blue will always be beautiful together. Apply in even amounts for a baby soft colour scheme.

Visualizer: Vladimir Korsun Is there anything more traditionally girly than a pink bedroom with a four poster bed? This room also features a modern desk space with a pink kid’s chair so she can work at making her own dreams come true.

Visualizer: Visable Another traditional pink kids’ room, this time with a canopy bed.

Visualizer: Andrey Malienko Fluff out with frills and extra fabric. Ruched nets dress the dual aspect windows here; pink drapes have been hung to the side of the glass to make the window look bigger. The walls beside the bed and desk have been softened with pink upholstered panels.

Visualizer: TOL'KO interiors Fashion your own pink pieces. This luxury kids’ room has all of its storage furniture made-to-measure. A designer table lamp and a set of pink shelves fit inside a desk nook, below bespoke wall units with a matching pink door.

Visualizer: Maggi Samir Sleep beneath a pink sky, like this dreamy pink cloud ceiling mural. A pink area rug reflects the hue back down on ground level.

Visualizer: Thao Uyen A more child-like vision of the pink cloud theme.

Visualizer: Andrei Erokhin Blow hot and cold, with hot fuschia and iced pink wall sections.

Visualizer: Anton Naselevets Take inspiration from the tropics. A white swing arm wall lamp stretches across tropical bird prints on this hot pink headboard feature wall.

Visualizer: 7 Square Studio Another take on a hot pink accent wall with animal art prints.

Visualizer: Mai Khaled Pink and personalised. Kids love to see their names printed on just about anything, from pencils and pencil cases to mugs and tshirts. Why not personalise their room too with some painted wood wall letters.

Visualizer: Maggi Samir Change up prints and patterns.

Visualizer: FINE DESIGN Soft pink meets soft lighting in this pink black and white kid’s room, which is trimmed with a half height border of LED perimeter lighting.

Visualizer: Maggi Samir This softly lit floral feature forms a joint headboard for twin beds. See more ideas for shared kids’ rooms here.

Visualizer: Maggi Samir LED strip lights trim a ceiling mural and a modern chandelier here. A recessed pink wall shelf glows warmly above the two matching pink kids’ beds.

Visualizer: Ghislaine Viñas Interior Design Take it over the top. Create a stripe of unapologetic fuschia pink across your floor, up your walls, and over your ceiling. Hang a colour coordinated chandelier for extra full-on effect.

Visualizer: Anna Potapenko Drape a white space with flowing pink accessories, like silky window drapes, soft bed set and a matching throw. Use elegant black accents to sharpen up the scene, such as monochrome artwork and some slimline swing arm wall lamps.

Visualizer: LEVEL80 | architects Lighten up a lofted bed or playspace. Light pink makes a light and delicate lining for a boxed-in bunk or play nook. Colour match the stairs or ladders that climb up to it to accentuate the effect.

Visualizer: Luxibu Lu Offset smooth pink planes with textured feature walls to conquer an awkward room shape.

Visualizer: Haneen Shkukani Widen the effect of a pink headboard without overdoing it on colour. Add white patterned/textured panels onto each side of the pink headboard design, and frame all three pieces to keep them visually connected.

Visualizer: Shkolnikova Ksenia Make a misty dreamy bedroom wall by rolling out a pink paint effect. In this room, a pink portiere draws across a home office area to keep work and rest zones softly sectioned. The home workspace is also decked out in deep teal green to exaggerate the boundary.

Visualizer: Nada AboElwafa The curvaceous nature of globe pendant lights mingles gracefully with an intimate pink bedroom setting. Choose a clustered low hanging pendant design to fashion chic glamour.

Visualizer: Fakhri Gafarov Nature themed bedrooms don’t have to be all about neutrals, mossy greens and shades of brown. Explore the possibility of a nature themed mural that’s been tinted with pink to evoke hazy memories of summer sunsets. Dress the room with a vase of gorgeous pink blooms to bring in a real piece of the outdoors.

Designer: Woodson & Rummerfield's House of Design Animal themed murals work too! This peacock decor is intermingled with imagery of pink roses, and surrounded by a frame of rose pink paint.

Visualizer: Horizon Render Vizualization Studio Another beautifully executed nature themed decor scheme, this time achieved with a botanical print wallpaper that has blush pink accents amongst the foliage. A rising headboard silhouette sits like a pink crown bestowed upon the bed.

Visualizer: Gray Vision Cut out a catwalk. Paint a rectangle of pink behind your floor length mirror, then tell us you don’t strut toward it like you’re doing runway at fashion week.

Visualizer: Anastasia Kruseva A bit of pink, a lot of raw concrete and one hot modern chandelier–what more could one ask for? Oh, ok then, how about some fabulous ambient lighting to set off the pink panel work and a huge shiny glass closet? Bellissimo!

Visualizer: Boooon Bring a little buzz into a fully pink colour scheme by adding a pair of plush sapphire blue drapes at the windows.

Visualizer: Lanre Alao Chip away at any unwanted sweetness by choosing big and bold, black and white additions. A heavily graphic black and white rug will help weigh down a light scheme, monochrome art dresses walls without overflowing a colour palette. Finish with a black modern pendant light to keep the look tight.

Visualizer: Tallon Perry Interiors Turn up the sunshine. If a bright fuschia wall isn’t enough to make you don sunglasses, throw in some orange, red and turquoise scatter cushions and a multicoloured bedroom rug to turn the vibe totally tropical.

Visualizer: Horizon Render Vizualization Studio Mellow pink and minty. Even out pastel pink elements with the same amount of minty coloured pieces for a cool and collected result. Use the two different colours to bring out areas of interest like display shelves and storage cupboards, or to give two bunk beds each an individual presence.

Visualizer: Artem Bukin Dial it down with charcoal grey and black. Don’t stress too much about finding that oh-so-perfect muted shade of pink, pastel pink shades can be dialled back by layering darker elements into the scheme, like a dark grey bed set and curtains, and black and white photographic prints.

Source: Manders It’s great to pixelate. Create a bespoke pixelated pink headboard design by using blocks of different shaded paint or fabric. Add in one or two extra colours to raise the energy.

Visualizer: Mariya Kabak Give each piece its wow factor. This geometric panel accent wall makes up for in pattern what is lacks in boldness of shade; on the other hand, a couple of basic pillows up the ante in hot pink covers.

Visualizer: Vlad Yuhimchuk Vlad Yuhimchuk Get picky about bedroom chairs. A basic bedroom chair in itself can be enough to add a pop of colour to a bedroom design, but the right piece could push your design to the next level. This chic modern pink chair has a sweeping backrest that vibes stunningly with a winged bed design, and its upholstery is the perfect shade to establish a third sugary perspective in the pink and wood grain room design.

Visualizer: Shmidt Studio Pretty up a blue room with pristine pink cushions and curtains.

Visualizer: Tam Nguyen Push up the pink factor in your master suite, with a glass wall pink ensuite bathroom. A pink chaise lounge, attached to the bedside, extends the pink factor all the way across to the opposite window in here too.

Visualizer: Evgenia Belkina Compliment the gentle shade of your new pink room with a floaty pendant light shade. Look for loose ruffles and gentle feathery designs.

Visualizer: LEVEL80 Sometimes it’s about what’s NOT pink in the room. When planning out a pink bedroom, it’s just as important to figure out the things that won’t follow suit, like this charcoal grey panelled headboard wall.

Visualizer: Thành Kiến Confine pink to the furniture only. A pink headboard and matching pink closets can have more than enough impact on a bedroom colour scheme, particularly if they are built in the same textured/ribbed material to create that solid visual link.

Visualizer: Kroniki Studio If you have a floor bed, then keep your coloured section close to the ground with you.

Visualizer: Lai Studio Rose gold accents and copper accessories tone seamlessly with rosy backgrounds. The metallic pieces will blend subtly yet still add shine to the overall finish of the room.

Visualizer: Konstantin Kildinov Rustic, industrial or sleek modern interior styles, pink works fabulously alongside them all. Bring on the raw timber, exposed brickwork or concrete, and pink pieces will add warmth and softness.

Visualizer: Jagjit Singh & Bhoday Amrinder Polished wood grain and pink also make a stunning duo together, particularly when combined with a nature/floral theme.

Visualizer: Lubna Yasin Amplify the prettiness of swags, swirls and all kinds of glamour with pale pink and light gold trims.

Visualizer: Vitaliy Neretin More swirls and swags.

Visualizer: Vladislava Torgonsky Go flamingo… pink. Flamingo’s make cute motifs for pink kids’ rooms; this particular little bird friend has inspired a pink house shaped headboard nook too.

Visualizer: Daria Alieva Another pink house shaped headboard nook idea, this time with the bed tucked in lengthways. Clouds, stars and a hot air balloon complete the whimsical scene.

Visualizer: Milan Iskrenov Don’t stop at a beautiful pink headboard idea, layer up the look with captivating bedroom pendant lights.

Visualizer: Victoria Osypenko Pink with polka dots! Whether your polka dots are pink in themselves, or you scatter rainbow polka dots alongside a solid pink background, this is an absolute winner for a fun kid’s room design–or for anyone still fun filled and young at heart!

Visualizer: Truc Ngo Springtime vibes. Fresh pink and white candy stripe wallpaper, light wood tone furniture and rose pink accessories will put a spring in your step.

Visualizer: Krzysztof Studziński Pink isn’t just for the ladies, guys. Pink was never considered a ‘girl thing’ until some baby clothing retailers suggested it should be so in the early twentieth century. Thankfully pink is now being restored to its former gender neutral status and is regularly seen in men’s fashion and interiors.

Visualizer: Tram Nguyen Paint bookcases in the corresponding paint colour to your wall for a peaceful pink layout.

Visualizer: Ngoc Thuy Pale mauve gives the lightest hint of a tint.

Visualizer: Bui Ni Another stunning mauve bedroom idea, this time featuring mauve padded wall panels.

Visualizer: Maxim Shpinkov Stage different areas in a room by colour blocking walls and doors, and sectioning up ceiling space–like the pink entryway and teal sleep ‘box’ in this shared kids’ room.

Visualizer: MennatAllah Tarek Blend outward. Starting with a solid pink tufted headboard here, we move out into a territory of mixed colour and pale bedsides, before landing in plain white paintwork. The gentle transition is restul and easy on the eye.

Visualizer: Lauri Brothers Pad out that pink headboard. When you’re onto a good thing, keep it running–right across the room.

Visualizer: TOL'KO interiors Ruches and ribbing. Simulate a ruched curtain by ribbing your pink headboard upholstery. Note how the slender stem of the tall floor lamp gets conveniently lost in the folds.

Photographer: Andzik Dublin Photography Sing pink all the way up to the rafters.

Visualizer: JKLab Architects Carve out some crazy cool contrast with baby pink and bottle green.

Visualizer: Quoc My Energise a laid-back light pink room with a sudden splash of hot pink.

Visualizer: RUDA Studio Accessorise silver grey and blush bedrooms with metallic silver and copper elements.

Visualizer: Studio | VAE Pink panels offset with arches.

Visualizer: Tovstyi Bohdan Old faithfuls and new delights. An old distressed bedstead looks right at home alongside super fresh bright coral paintwork. Crisp white bedclothes and white wall trims bring the two together.
