Think Pink: 20 Pink Spaces That Go Beyond Millennial Pink

Elizabeth Bomberger of Life Well Lived worked with a vision of a fun, urban treehouse for her client’s space — “lots of wood tones, flowing movement, florals and colors,” she says. With an expansive wall area and a favorite flower in mind, a dramatic backsplash was created.

“After we created the backsplash, we thought, ‘Why not continue with the pink theme and place it on the island as well?’’ That thought led to a custom-color range to match the island as well. “My client had an immense desire for fun in her home,” Bomberger says. “What’s more fun than a bright pink island with matching range?”

This home office is beautiful and bright with natural light. White walls and a few choice accent pieces keep the space feeling airy. Bubblegum pink acrylic chairs are a smart choice here, as they add pretty, sheer color without the heaviness of upholstery or paint. A blue lamp, metallic end table and mint vase complete this breezy workspace.

Though pink is one of her client’s favorite colors, Jessica McClendon of Glamour Nest also wanted to create an inclusive look the whole family would love. The solution was to use pink sparingly in this light, bright space, while still allowing it to pack a punch of color.

“We went for a brighter, almost hot pink, but in a soft, worn linen, making it feel less girly and more sophisticated,” says McClendon. More masculine elements, such as the light fixture and navy seat cushion, balance out the room.

Says designer Alison Kandler of Alison Kandler Interior Design, “I use pink in as many rooms as I can, especially in bathrooms. Pink brings out the best in skin tones.” Even when she doesn’t use pink in the decor of a master bath, she often uses pink light bulbs to soften the ambience.

While the salmon pink tub is undeniably the focal point of this bathroom, Kandler considers the color a neutral and uses it the way other designers may use gray or beige. “It works with many different palettes,” she says. “Here, I mixed it with peach, coral, gray and purple. Soft pink is used for the painted floor, wallpaper and ceiling fixture.”
