Read This Before Tearing Out That Pink Bathroom!
If you’ve ever stepped into an American home built in the 1940s or ‘50s, we're pretty sure we know what you saw: a pink bathroom. And we’re not just talking about a simple blush coat on a wall or two. We're talking pink walls, pink flooring, pink tubs and even pink toilets.
Pam Kueber, the creator of the Save the Pink Bathrooms movement, estimates that pink — a wildly popular color choice at the time — went into five million American homes. While many of those bathrooms have since been updated, we're here to say ripping out pink bathrooms isn't necessarily the upgrade it once seemed.
If the thought of a cotton-candy space reads as outdated to you, you may want to reconsider, as more and more homeowners see pink as a plus. Feeling inspired? Check out these 35 designer bathrooms that are pretty in pink.
