You Say “Pink,” We Say Go

We recently had a client request a pink bathroom.

A pink bathroom? The words felt like a soft melody to our neutral and beige aching ears! For most of us – when we think of pink bathrooms our minds conjure up images of 1950s tiled bathroom walls and equally pink (or perhaps black) fixtures. TO BE CLEAR: the design of the 50s was brilliant and daring; but 70 years of wear and tear beckons us to rise to the challenge to design a fresh interpretation of the iconic pink bathroom.

It’s also February, the month of love. And what says lasting love more than a roundup of our favorite pink rooms? You’re right, nothing. (Make sure you scroll to the end – we’ll reveal the rendering of the #clientpink bathroom).

Dusty Pink Kitchen

When you think of a pink kitchen, this image isn’t what comes to mind? Me neither. We love how the boldness of the pink is used to accentuate the architectural details of this Barcelona apartment. Brick arched ceiling? Sculptural modern island? Yes and yes, please. Click on the image for the full apartment tour published in Architectural Digest.

High Gloss Alcove

Ahhh… cupid’s age-old combination of pink and red. Who knew this high-gloss coral paint would pair so well with a vintage red and white striped settee? Both the windows and seating are classic, so the funky footed table gives the nook a little modern edge, transforming the entire feel. Hearts all around.

Christmas: Green and Red Pink.

Another one by the colorful Jamie Molster. Take the antique fireplace surround, paint it high gloss pink and fill the neighboring shelves with collected treasures. And that’s a wrap for next year’s Holiday decorating plan (do you think the husband will go for it?).

When Words Aren’t Enough: Fuchsia

I can’t get enough of this dining space. The deep color of the walls, the lacquered ceilings and elegant (yet interesting) chandeliers. My favorite element of the space is the large-scale art piece on the wall. With layers of glitz, the painting saves the space from becoming all Hollywood glam: we love a good curated space!
