Blush pink has been buzzing in interior design circles this year, and it’s a trend that we are very excited about. While many people choose to avoid pink altogether, in fear they’ll end up living in Barbie’s Dreamhouse, opting for pinks on the earthier end of the palette will ensure you use a colour that’s subtle yet has some warmth. Keep reading for our top blush pink home decor ideas and tips on how to style the popular shade.
What is Blush Pink?
Soft, muted and warm, blush pink is a beautiful shade of pink with peachy undertones. Often associated with femininity and girliness, blush pink is not to be underestimated. When utilised in the home, the hue can be very sophisticated and luxurious. Aside from being a gorgeous colour on its own, blush pink is also a very versatile shade.
What Colours go With Blush Pink?
As it is such a soft and warm colour, blush pink can act as a neutral colour in the home – meaning it pairs well with many other shades.
Blush Pink and Grey
Warm in nature and tones, blush pink is highly effective in warming up a grey space. If you’re looking to add a softness to a dull grey room, blush pink is the answer.
Blush Pink and Olive
Historically, green and pink have always worked together beautifully (cue Wicked reference). By softening your traditional pink to a blush pink and grounding your standard green to an olive, you can create a gorgeous soft and earthy effect to your space. The contrast in the two shades achieves a wonderful equilibrium, balancing each other out perfectly.
Blush Pink and Brown
Similarly, blush pink and brown pair together really effectively. By contrasting the soft and feminine nature of blush pink and the earthiness of brown, the colour combination creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Blush Pink and Burgundy
Another winning contrasting combination goes to blush pink and burgundy. The richness of burgundy contrasts perfectly with the softness of blush pink – creating a beautiful and luxurious look for your home.
