There’s no place like home; especially when you have mind-bending interiors. And, do you know that a pearlescent touch to interior finish can definitely enhance your living space ambience?
As the most prominent home ornamentation, pearl’s iridescence comes from many fine layers of aragonite and physical interaction that occurs between the aragonite crystals and light waves. Here are some hacks for luxurious, minimalist pearl-themed interior designs:
#1 Go Marble-Luxe
Get the ball rolling and fully indulge in the lavish design trends by pairing marbles with sumptuous velvets, brass, and luxe gold. Marble has an alluring enigmatic texture and pattern that builds subtle interests to a space. When pairing with lavish ornaments, always go for marble for a deluxe-opulent aesthetic and refined sophisticated look.

#2 Fifty-Shades of Blue
When choosing color to complement pearly scheme, make sure that it is non-fussy deep hues. Colors of the Persian Gulf, sky, and coastline fuse perfectly with pearl and give more depth to the already beautiful colours. Muted ink blue or aqua blue hues create a serene atmosphere; like the feeling of seamless flow from ocean to interiors, leaving a soothing sense to the residents. Pick especially unsaturated colours that work well with neutrals including marble floors.
