Eight ways to add more pink into your home

Whether in fashion or home decor, pink is no longer considered uniquely feminine. In many cases, pink is neutral and versatile enough to not clash with other colors and can both complement and elevate other colors. Looking for ways to infuse pink into your home? Here are some top tips.

1. Start small. Not ready to take the plunge? Testing the waters by infusing elements such as accessories and accents is a good place to start.

2. Consider an accent wall or softer allover shade of pink. A bold pink accent wall could make a dynamic statement, while a softer shade will give a more neutral look.

3. Use artwork. Artwork remains one of the top ways to kick off a color story in a space.

4. Use shades of pink in bedrooms. Softer shades can create a sense of calm, while bolder shades can add interest. 5. Don’t be afraid to mix and blend different shades of pink into the same space. 6. Bring pink elements into an otherwise neutral social space such as a living or dining room. 7. Consider pink upholstery pieces such as side chairs and ottomans. 8. Pair both silver and gold finishes and accents with elements of pink. Pink blends well with both in interior spaces.
