The female homeowner likes to travel and read. She also likes lots of colors. Pink, light blue, light purple, and light green are on her dream lists. After many discussions, the main tone of the house was set to cyan. The designer wants to bring in a touch of pink color tones although in the cool color tones of the whole house. On the main wall of the living room, the designer chose a wallpaper with a gradient of pink to cyan. At the same time, the entrance iron grille is also painted in white to pink gradient color. The gradient color avoids the conflict between warm and cool colors. The harmony and rendering of colors precisely reflect the relationship between human and nature which designer always persists.
