Modern Interior Design - Viva Venus!

If you have your finger on the pulse of home interior design, you may already be aware that the color stars of 2010 are undoubtedly turquoise and pink.

The turquoise has a soothing presence and diffuses any bright light, which is perfectly complemented by the pink's warm welcome.

These colors whisper femininity, rather than shout it from the rooftops; the lightness of tone provides a perfect backdrop for a variety of furniture styles too. With your color combinations resolved, you'll be able to get creative with your choice of flooring, whether you opt for pastel rugs, natural wood or a sumptuous carpet.

Of course, it takes a big man to be comfortable in such a tranquil pantone, but these colors will happily support dramatic and vivid artwork to balance up the color war of the sexes!

Perhaps there's something mythological going on, some undercurrent of the feminine finding new expression.
