Pink has always been cool, but it’s finding its way into cabinetry, mainstream furniture stores, and paint palettes. All shades of pink are hot, but lighter pastel shades and rose and mauve shades of pink might be easier to handle if it feels a little scary. Here are some examples of how pink can be used in your home.
- A pink couch or pair of pink club chairs in a velvet textile feels cozy and luxurious and is a versatile way to start working with the color.
- Pink doors, either interior or exterior can make a statement.
- Pink accents like throw pillows, blankets and books can be a softer way to incorporate this color.
- Pink cabinets in the bathroom, kitchen or the mudroom have a lot of pizzazz. Think carefully about what colors you use to work with painted built-ins.
- Pink powder rooms feel feminine and indulgent. If you have a half bath that’s just for guests, it’s a great spot for an all-pink scheme.
- Pink bedding in the bedroom has a cozy and soft feel to it. Some might even say romantic. Desert pinks paired with shades of gold and rust have been hot for a while and may feel less frilly.
- Pink window frames or shutters pop against minty shades of green, light gray or solid white.
