Home tour of a floral stylist’s perfectly pink 1930s semi

If you're a fan of pastels like I am, you're going to enjoy this house tour of florist Katie Sutton's 1930s home, full of pretty patterns and plenty of pink!

Today’s decor tour is a whizz around Katie Sutton’s Midlands home, where pastels and patterns combine to create the prettiest interior in this 1930s property. How can you include pastels in your home? This lovely house will show you how…

Katie is a wedding stylist and floral designer, so she brings a touch of romance to everything she does, including when designing her home. The interior is packed with floral fabrics, bold stripes and lots of pastels so it really caught my eye when I first spotted it on Instagram @thevintagehousethatcould.

An expert in creating bespoke signage, stationery, props and decor for weddings and photoshoots, Katie utilised all her skills within her home to upcycle furniture and create custom pieces.

If you’re wondering ‘how can I upcycle my kitchen chairs?’ this project just goes to show what can be done with a tester pot of paint. Here Katie has used a variety of pastel tones to give each vintage chair around her kitchen table a fresh coat, instantly creating a cool mix-and-match look.

I love her use of stripes throughout the home to tie all the rooms together – stripes of various widths and sizes can be seen in the upholstery, rugs, bedding and even on the bathroom wallpaper, which was a vintage roll she sourced on eBay.

If you’ve ever seen photos of my home office (where I’m sitting right now writing this) you may have noticed that I’m quite keen on pastel pink in interiors. Katie’s home takes pastel interiors to a new level with three or four different shades of pink around the home – in bathroom, hallway, bedroom, kitchen and living room – ranging from fresh and peachy to barely-there nude.

So, should I paint my room pink? It’s perfectly subtle; fresh and pretty without being too sugary (although I wouldn’t mind that!) and it feels really warm and welcoming. What do you think? Would you use any of these beautiful rosy tones in your own home?

I’ve definitely been inspired by Katie’s home and I think the pinky hues work beautifully with the mustard, blue and sage green accent colours to create a Deco-inspired look that truly suits the style of the period property, which was built in 1936.

Let me know in the comments below which is your favourite room of Katie’s house. And be sure to have a look at Katie’s IG account @thevintagehousethatcould to see even more of her lovely interior and check out her website full of her expert floristry and wedding styling.
