I am a 37 year old woman. And I still LOVE pink! There I said it. I’ve loved pink every since my Barbies got that pink convertible for Christmas. There is plenty evidence that I haven’t been able to let my passion for pink go – from my pink lunch bag, my workout bag and even pink computer mouse. As a matter of fact, I’m in the process of creating a decorating plan for my bedroom and, yes, I will be featuring pink. I know you may be thinking “Pink? Really? Who are you Elle Woods? Your room is going to look like a baby nursery!” Au contraire mon frere, the color pink can be used to create a warm, sophisticated space without being overly feminine. You just have to know how to do it the right way. In today’s post, you’ll see that pink isn’t just for little girls.
The Grown Ups Guide to Decorating With Pink
Go Big with Pink Wall(s)
Painting your walls pink is an awesome way to add an element of sophistication to your space. They key to getting it right is picking the right shade of pink. Thinking of painting your entire room pink? Choose a calming, pale pink with purple undertones. Go for more intense, stimulating shades of pink for your dining room accent wall or a small foyer.

I LOVE your innovative ideas for incorporating “your favorite color pink” in home décor!!! They are really appealing to me and I don’t particularly like pink.
Thank you! A lot of people think pink is too childish or tacky. But you really can create a classic, polished room – for adults
I am a HUGE fan of pink too!!! Love all these looks 🙂
Great minds think alike, Nadine 🙂
I am going through the entire website, because I was so fascinated with the Coffee Table Style. I love this website, Kiki! The “think pink,” is fabulous. I love pink. Thanks, Kiki! I also love that “Merritt Guest Bedroom!” Keep it up, Girl! You’re thinking “Big!”
Thank you, Rhonda. I enjoy sharing my love for design and providing a little inspiration along the way 🙂
