Few can resist bougainvillea vines in full bloom. Come spring, and these papery flowers blush the brightest, making them a compelling muse for your spring home refresh! Flip through our curation to bring this effervescent hue home.

The Inspiration

The blooming bracts of a bougainvillea are just as vibrant as they are resilient. They require little: the less you water them, the more they’ll flower. Look away, and they’ll climb over walls, hedges and balconies to clamber for your attention! From flourishing across the most arid of shrublands to infiltrating the cracks of a century-old fort, they’re equal parts statement and staple. Scroll to view a curation inspired by the tropical flowering plant’s most recognisable hue.

The Features

Bathed in delicate murals that echo the perennial pink of bougainvillea, Qalaa Art Bar is set within a 91-year-old mansion belonging to the former ruler of Udaipur. Brought to life by Eth Design Studio, the colour palette demarcates shifts in both space and volume. Walk past the cosy seating area clad in pink, and you enter a double-height space decorated in swirls of blue and white. The minimalist furniture plays foil to the abundance of colour surrounding it, the intricately adorned walls providing an instant shot of both dopamine and heritage.
