Beverly Hills, USA, has many original luxury homes, drowned in a variety of white and gray colors. Happy PinkToned Forever Home is the Home of a Swedish star with her artist husband and two children. It is a Happy and pink Home designed by Paris Forino.
There is not a single wall, appliance, fabric or piece of furniture in this room that is close to ordinary or profoundly boring. The couple saw everything the same about their home, seeking a balance between comfort and joy. The house is designed in a neutral color of light pink, which appears around the six-bedroom house. For the owners, the romantic image of living in California is the hazy fire inside and out. To this end, the whole scheme, including new fireplaces and lots of lighting, is set on a timer to achieve a sense of magic in the light emitted every night.
When looking at Forino's sketches and renderings, Eklund was most worried about the design of his office. He thought it would be too hard to pick the right colors, thinking the drapes would be too green or too dark, and the blues and pinks would be like oil and vinegar. In fact, the space is anything but a typical businessman's office. The pink carpet has bright orange leather trim, a painting by a Swedish artist, Eklund's brother, of a boy with a nosebleed, a smoothy-hued table and a glass Patricia Urquiola orange desk. It has an amazing soft glow and everything around it feels like a cloud.
The master bedroom and their four-year-old twins' room, as well as the kitchen drenched in copper, blue and red, create a sense of joy. Eklund felt that at night, he was in paradise under the trees in his backyard. He felt very Zen. Forino's sublime and complex use of color is like a dose of dopamine, an instant mood booster. "When you leave here, you kind of want to go back," Eklund said.
