18 Ways to Add a Touch of Pink to Your Home

18 Ways to Add a Touch of Pink to Your Home

A touch of pink is a great way to add color and personality to any room. A romantic yet playful shade that ranges from bright magenta to a soft blush, pink can either punch up a room's saturation or tone it down. Designers love the color for its versatility: It's just exotic enough to act as an accessory but can also function as a neutral when necessary. We love the dusty rose–colored couch that AD100 designer Markham Roberts placed in a rustic Big Sky, Montana, lodge and the antique-looking blush rug in Timothy Corrigan's Los Angeles home. Ahead, we've gathered 18 examples from the AD archives of how a pink accent can transform a room.


Contemporary Kitchen by Drake Design Associates and Annabelle Seldorf in New York, New York

The centerpiece of designer Jamie Drake's New York kitchen is a custom-made island comprising cabinetry finished in gold leaf and an overlapping table in Corian with gold inlay. The pendant lights are custom, and the tabletop sculpture is by Reinaldo Sanguino.

Contemporary Entrance Hall by Desiderata Design in Los Angeles, California

A vibrant digital print by Jeremy Blake sets the chromatic tone in the living room of Sir Elton John and David Furnish's Beverly Hills, California, house, which was decorated by Martyn Lawrence Bullard. The space is anchored by a Willy Rizzo–style pink-lacquer cocktail table by Lawson-Fenning; vintage sconces flank the mantel, crafted of Corian, and a David LaChapelle photograph hangs on the far wall. Bullard designed the club chairs—upholstered in a Mongolian-lamb fabric from Mimi London—and Vladimir Kagan–inspired sofas. The chinchilla throw is by Loro Piana, and the aluminum side table is from Ligne Roset; the carpet is a prototype design by Bullard for the Rug Company.


Designer Roderick N. Shade enlivened his New York City home—previously a neglected railroad-style flat in Harlem—with bold design elements and whimsical details. To him, the most important area was the hallway, which serves as a teaser for the rest of the apartment. “I wanted it to stand out,” he said. “To pop!” The once dark corridor is illuminated by eight Chinese lanterns and features vibrant vertical stripes, accented by pink pinstripes.
