As seen in our last post, vibrant color can change the look of an entire space. One color often deemed too “girly,” is pink. While pink is associated with femininity, it’s perfect for summer and the right patterns, textures, and accessories can balance the hue.

Light pink walls, once popular in historical homes, add a jolt to this living room. Black and gold accents prevent the color from appearing too candy coated. Traditional furniture appears aristocratic against the pink.

Muted pink walls can act as a neutral in an eclectic home. The color works perfectly with the classic elements, antiques, and more masculine wood floors. While some may think black is harsh against soft colors, the black frames actually bring elegance into the space.

Use hot pink for an unexpected twist. The charcoal walls aren’t depressing when a hot pink coffee table is thrown into the mix.
