When we think of pink in home decor, we generally think of it being in either one of two rooms: in a nursery or in a girls bedroom. Well believe it or not, pink actually has a home outside of these two rooms, and it can be done very tastefully. Although the end result tends to be more feminine (we're talking about using pink after all), you don't walk into a room and have it immediately scream "girl."
So what is the key to using pink in your decor? Subtlety...and I can't express that enough. If you add soft accents of this feminine color the results can be outstanding. {This is exactly how we are using pink in our wedding. We plan to have the light aqua take center stage, and have it complemented by a backdrop of pale pinks and other delicate pastels}.
Pink is known to be a soothing color, so in theory, including it in your bedroom would be a great way to help calm yourself down before bed each night. Back in the 70's, the calming effect of pink was widely utilized, and many prisions even incorporated it into their designs.
Ironically, although the pink initially calmed the inmates, the longer they were exposed to the overwhelming amount of pink, the more agitated they became (now there's a shocker). The same holds true in home design: using the right amount of pink can create a very soothing environment, but it is verrrrrry easy to go overboard with this color, and once you cross that fine line, the color completely takes over everything.
But enough yapping, let's get to the beautiful pink designs! Enjoy!
