GUEST BLOG by Arcadian Lighting

Many event trends come from interior design. So when I heard from Anna Thompson of the Arcadian Lighting's home decor accessories blog asking if the Arcadian Lighting team could join the designdawg guest blogger pack, I checked out their blog. Not only does it show their lighting products and home accessories, but it also gives readers tips and advice on trends in design. To me this is what blogging is all about -- sharing information, cross-marketing from different industries and, of course, giving you, the readers, lots of eye candy. So check out Arcadian Lighting and in the meantime, enjoy this fun and frothy post full great design ideas that crossover from home to event design.

Pink Parisian Chic

By Jessica Cleary

Maybe it's because one of the most famous songs to come out of France, "La Vie en Rose," has to do with the color pink, but when I think of Paris, I can't help but think of a beautiful shade of pale pink. If you model any of your interior designs after these rooms, you'll certainly be seeing life en rose. Amusez-vous bien!

This lovely bedroom is perfectly feminine and romantic. The black accent wall and striped rug are a wonderful canvas for the soft pink and white colors of the bed.

A pale pink wall color and vintage white bedframe give this room a soft, romantic atmosphere. I love the framed map of Paris and the vase full of twinkling lights.

This all-pink dining room is absolutely glamorous and chic. The dramatic ceiling light is truly stunning, and the silver chairs add a brilliant sparkle.

Beautiful bouquets of fresh roses and various shades of rosy pinks set the scene for a charming dinner party. I love the antique candelabra with rosy pink candles.

Pink napkins, orchids and accent wall create a flirty, feminine atmosphere in this dining room. A pink velvet tufted sofa in the background does not go unnoticed, especially in an all-white adjoining room.

The unique pendant light in a matte pink color is certainly eye-catching in this eclectic living room. The lavish pillows and drapes add some definite drama to the room.

This opulent room with its floral patterns and damask wall paper has such a pretty, romantic atmosphere when done in all pale pink. A few crystal and gold accents sparkle beautifully throughout the room.

A rich pink wall color makes the perfect canvas for white and black furnishings. The cozy white sofa looks so inviting and chic.
