I am of the school (there is one, isn’t there?) that thinks every room needs a little pop of pink. No color is more eye-catching, more frivolous, more happy — and every space needs that!
A beautifully worn pink rug brings unexpected color to a muted palette.
A magenta throw pillow is a welcome contrast to David Hicks’ ubiquitous La Fiorentina fabric.
Another antique-y pink rug plays off the pastel palette of Rashida Jones’ apartment.
A fuchsia chair is an interesting choice paired with purple curtains but I think Cynthia Rowley makes it work. Loving that lucite magazine rack!
Quite possibly my favorite use of pink ever: hot pink velvet tufted beauties flank an old console and complement a figurative art display.
Where have you used pink to perk up your decor? None of this nonsense about pink-hating husbands!
I LOVE a good pop of pink! And if it’s found in those beautifully worn rugs, it can even maintain an overall masculine feel..

I would have pink in every room if I could! Have limited it to the bedroom for now and yes, I do share with a full blooded male who does not seem to mind.
Love the chairs in that last photo.
Yes! I love it with sappy silver and warm gold — fantastic photos!
love them all but adore the last photo. I have pale pink curtains and hot pink frames on the walls in my bedroom. Gotta love pink!
Love the rug in the first picture, and of course I love pops of pink!
i totally agree with the pops of pink! [and chartreuse?!] i love how subtle and unique that first rug is.. and of course my love of chairs draws me to the last one. did you see the versailles pics i posted last week?

I’m not a hater, but pink is not for me. It can look very cool when done correctly, though, as you have demonstrated.
Couldn’t agree more, Mackenzie! Even better if the pink is hot pink!
Love these examples…seems like dark pink and soft, like in a rug, a chair or a pillow, really pops. I convinced my husband to use pink in the bedroom! We framed three photos we bought on our honeymoon of a pink rose opening. We had them framed in dark wood and hung them as a series. It’s a metaphor for our growing love and a reminder that we are only at the beginning…how cheesy, right?
I love that last picture. Those chairs are exquisite! I think my husband would have a heart attack if I bought chairs like those. The carpet in the first photo, I could possibly get away with.

Is there space for a little chap from the UK in this school? I’m a fan of poppy pinks, especially in black schemes.
Hope you had a great day yesterday!
I couldn’t agree more! I love pink and use it whenever possible.
honey i’m in the SAME school as you! – i used pink/purple as my wall color going up my stairs – then i have accents every where – it’s a total chick pad!
It is DEF a school of thought, of which I think I might be the valedictorian! I was staring at my living room the other day and couldn’t figure out what was wrong and why it didnt feel finished…and then I realized! NO PINK! Fixing that asap.
Love that last picture and absolutely LOVE pink– in clothing, makeup and in interior design! Fabulous post 🙂
