Think pink: styling the nation’s favourite colour

1. Pink has long outgrown its Barbie days. There are so many nuances and options available now, so you can go down a modern, calm or romantic route.

2. Soft colours always work together. The combo in our bedroom is a great example – I went with cool blue-grey wallpaper next to warm Scandi pink sheets. Grey and pink is always a good idea, if you don’t know where to start.  

3. Which brings me to my next tip: pay attention to undertones. Pink can have blue, yellow or reddish shades in it – being aware of them and mixing your pinks accordingly will result in a more harmonious look. 

4. Pink is a great accent colour for more neutral interiors. For me, more is more – but if you don’t want to go all out, start with one piece: some artwork, a plant pot or a clock.

5. Blush tones look wonderful next to rattan and cane (this pairing is pretty much fail-safe). Case in point: our Liana wardrobe styled with pastel-coloured storage trunks.
