\"\"<\/p>\n

How do you feel about utilizing pink for interior design? Some like to use it as a ‘softener’ to tone down dark or overtly ‘masculine’ notes in a room, while a common approach is to juxtapose it with neutral tones or even natural elements (like concrete, stone, and wood) to make its soft beauty pop.<\/p>\n

Why the push to pink?<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pink popularity in interior and design really started with Millennial Pink in 2012, when this colour really started showing up everywhere, appearing as a toned-down version of Barbie Pink \u2013 which is a soft pink with more bluish overtones.<\/p>\n

In 2016, Pantone announced Rose Quartz as its Colour of the Year, and then in 2018 Dulux announced Heart Wood as their colour of the year. Sitting between a smoky taupe and dusky mauve, Heart Wood is described as a ‘warm neutral, with a hint of heather,’ and a colour that’s easier to incorporate into a modern aesthetic.<\/p>\n

How to apply<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pink looks best when applied unexpectedly, especially in small, controlled rooms where no one would expect. The same applies for the location where you\u2019re planning to use it \u2013 a bathroom backsplash, feature wall or as a focal piece like a couch or curtains.<\/p>\n

Go braver with application in multiple places, but opt for different tones of the shade or incorporate different pink pieces, as a solid monochromatic application can overwhelm (think Pepto Bismol).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A few carefully-selected pieces of furniture are becoming more and more attractive for big rooms too, where larger and bolder colours, textures, or patterns can be used without feeling cloying.<\/p>\n

Small doses<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The devil is in the details, and if you’re not into the rose-all-day trend, try small finishing touches with a big impact, such as candle votives, photo frames, vases, lamps.<\/p>\n

However, if you just can’t bring yourself to go whole-hog, but you want to get on board with just a blush, let fresh blossoms be the highlight. Try vivid Gerberas, or beautiful globular peonies that look (and smell!) amazing!<\/p>\n
