Rooms to Inspire: At First Blush

With Valentine’s Day come and gone — and, hopefully, spring on its way — we cannot help but dream of being perpetually surrounded by bouquets of fresh blossoms. In the 1stdibs universe, however, we interpret this figuratively. Think delicate, feminine rooms decorated in shades of soft coral, warm peach and whisper pinks, reminiscent of ranunculus, peonies and tea roses. Whether its effect is romantic and sweet, or clean and modern, a hint (or more) of petal pink can relieve winter blues until warmer weather and brighter colors prevail.
