Millennial Pink

MILLENNIAL PINK took the world by storm in 2018 finding its way into designer catwalk shows as well as designer and celebrity home interiors. This strong and feminine colour is set to continue and rise in popularity in 2019 with more and more people choosing to decorate their home with this simple yet striking colour palette. While many people avoid pink for fear of creating something of a ‘Barbie’ style interior design it is in fact a classic and versatile colour tone that can be used in a wide variety of contemporary and traditional home interiors.

For a traditional and feminine interior design then partner millennial pink with simple crisp or antique white and a selection of dusky or pastel toned colours such as lilac, mint, peach and baby blue for a retro inspired ice-cream coloured home that will create a fun and colourful look within your chosen room. Opt for a selection of vintage 1950s and 1960s style furniture items and team with a selection of bold geometric patterned wallpaper that will look great on a main feature wall. Complete this interior look with some retro patterned cushions, bedding, curtains and rugs and vintage lighting and ornaments for a fun and eye-catching design. For a more classic and feminine interior look then partner millennial pink with deep and bold fuchsia and baby pink tones and include a bold floral-patterned wallpaper on a feature wall, chimney breast or alcove area. Include soft furnishings and upholstery in soft antique white and pink floral designs and complete your look with some traditional floral crockery and ornaments that can be displayed on a sideboard or dresser for a striking visual focal point.

If you wish to create a more contemporary interior design, then add a pop of millennial pink to a monochrome style of interior to create a pop of colour against the sleek and sophisticated backdrop. Paint alternating walls in white and millennial pink and create a feature on one wall with a bold and striking black and white striped wallpaper. Add a selection of monochrome and millennial pink cushions to a sofa or bed area and include some millennial pink throws and a deep pile rug to the centre of the room for a colourful hint of cosiness. Simple white painted or high gloss furniture will complete this look and create a streamlined and modern feel to your home. A more modern glamorous feel can be achieved by pairing millennial pink with soft blush peach and rose gold colour palettes and include a rose gold metallic wallpaper for added glitz and glamour. Include some rose gold and millennial pink curtains, cushions and bedding and complete the look with some mirrored furniture items and rose gold accessories such as vases, candle holders and lighting that will add some shimmer and shine to your chosen room.
