There\u2019s a new neutral in town. And it\u2019s one you might have never expected: pink.\u00a0Not a bubblegum Barbie bright but a soft, romantic blush. It\u2019s as versatile as any other neutral, blending effortlessly with other hues\u00a0and giving rooms a sleek, sophisticated vibe. It\u2019s feminine, yes, but used in the right way, not overly so. I think there\u2019s a very strong chance it will overtake grey as the \u2018It\u2019 colour of the moment.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at it in action:<\/p>\n

Pink and Grey<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry, grey isn\u2019t out of the picture just yet. In fact, it\u2019s the perfect companion for our newest neutral. Blush pink and smoky grey is a really popular choice. It can be soft and serene, playful and fun or moody and grungy. I\u2019ve seen it used in nurseries, grown-up bedrooms, living rooms and kitchens. Add a hint of navy to the equation and you\u2019ve got a winning combination.<\/p>\n

Sofa Story<\/strong><\/p>\n

How cool is this palest pink sofa (top, above), styled and photographed by Danish photographer, Heidi Lerkenfeldt<\/a>? The whole space is pretty enviable.<\/p>\n

Brightly-coloured sofas are very on trend at the moment. But investing in something that might not be so fashionable in 12 months time is risky. Blush pink is an ideal middle ground. It might be trendy at the moment but it\u2019s also a timeless colour that I think will look great for years to come.<\/p>\n

Blush on Blush<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blush, like most neutrals, layers really well with itself. In fact, using the colour liberally in a space can be highly effective. In the room pictured above for example, blush bed sheets look stunning against the blush headboard\/statement wall, and the copper pendant lamp almost reflects the colour again. White walls and accessories keep the space modern and fresh, and help veer the look away from garish. It’s a dreamy, high-end look that can easily be replicated in your own home.<\/p>\n

So tell me, what do you think of the new neutral on the block? Are you all for this blushing beauty, or would you rather stick with grey?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
