Pink. Yes, pink. The very word itself evokes the senses. Whether positively or negatively, people always react to this brazen and confusing color. The actual, realized color is more complicated than it seems on the surface and maybe this is why we are so drawn to it: the color pink is a combination of red and white. Other hues of pink may be combinations of rose and white, magenta and white, or orange and white--eeeesh, see what I mean? It takes a small village of colors to create this inspiring and perplexing tone.
Before I go on a wild and crazy tangent, let's reel this post back in. Pink and interiors are synonymous with one another. Whether pink is used as an accent or as the overarching theme of the space, both have the potential to command attention and, at the same time, seamlessly blend and add balance--an oxymoron, but both statements are true. Take a look at these images and let the contradictions flow!

We have placed both of these rugs in one of our client's home: the first down a corridor and the second in the daughter's room. They add just the right touch: one of elegance and history, the other a quiet playfulness.
Below are a few images of pink used sparingly as accents to a room. Rugs, pillows, cushions, flora, color worked into fabrics and linens, accessories such as plates, and painted wall accents can be used to add bits of color and freshness to a space.
