A beautifully worn pink rug brings unexpected color to a muted palette.
A magenta throw pillow is a welcome contrast to David Hicks' ubiquitous La Fiorentina fabric.
Another antique-y pink rug plays off the pastel palette of Rashida Jones' apartment.
A fuchsia chair is an interesting choice paired with purple curtains but I think Cynthia Rowley makes it work. Loving that lucite magazine rack!
Quite possibly my favorite use of pink ever: hot pink velvet tufted beauties flank an old console and complement a figurative art display.
Where have you used pink to perk up your decor? None of this nonsense about pink-hating husbands!

Love that last picture and absolutely LOVE pink-- in clothing, makeup and in interior design! Fabulous post :)
It is DEF a school of thought, of which I think I might be the valedictorian! I was staring at my living room the other day and couldn't figure out what was wrong and why it didnt feel finished...and then I realized! NO PINK! Fixing that asap.
honey i'm in the SAME school as you! - i used pink/purple as my wall color going up my stairs - then i have accents every where - it's a total chick pad!
I couldn't agree more! I love pink and use it whenever possible.
Is there space for a little chap from the UK in this school? I'm a fan of poppy pinks, especially in black schemes.
Hope you had a great day yesterday!
I love that last picture. Those chairs are exquisite! I think my husband would have a heart attack if I bought chairs like those. The carpet in the first photo, I could possibly get away with.

Love these examples...seems like dark pink and soft, like in a rug, a chair or a pillow, really pops. I convinced my husband to use pink in the bedroom! We framed three photos we bought on our honeymoon of a pink rose opening. We had them framed in dark wood and hung them as a series. It's a metaphor for our growing love and a reminder that we are only at the beginning...how cheesy, right?
Couldn't agree more, Mackenzie! Even better if the pink is hot pink!
I'm not a hater, but pink is not for me. It can look very cool when done correctly, though, as you have demonstrated.
i totally agree with the pops of pink! [and chartreuse?!] i love how subtle and unique that first rug is.. and of course my love of chairs draws me to the last one. did you see the versailles pics i posted last week?

Love the rug in the first picture, and of course I love pops of pink!
love them all but adore the last photo. I have pale pink curtains and hot pink frames on the walls in my bedroom. Gotta love pink!
Yes! I love it with sappy silver and warm gold -- fantastic photos!
I would have pink in every room if I could! Have limited it to the bedroom for now and yes, I do share with a full blooded male who does not seem to mind.
Love the chairs in that last photo.
I LOVE a good pop of pink! And if it's found in those beautifully worn rugs, it can even maintain an overall masculine feel..
xoxo
