Go Bold With Pink Decor

Red -- watch your back. These pinks are so bold, so dramatic and so sexy, they might just take your place as the glamour girl of the color world.

At the 2011 Kip Bay Showhouse, pink had quite a presence. But not pale, blush tones that whisper chic: We're talking bright pinks and rich pinks that shout with glee "I am pink, hear me roar!"

If you're considering bringing a bold hue into your room, may we suggest this showstopper? Here are our favorite ways to bring it home:


Pink Decor Idea #1: On the Table
Nathan Wayne Studio focused a foyer around this wild pink lacquer table. But it didn't stop there. A large vase of hydrangea pumps up the look.



Pink Decor Idea #2: On Chairs
In a small bedroom designed by Harry Heissmann a psychadelic giraffe chair showed off pink's more daring side -- and proved that velvet upholstery doesn't have to be stuffy. Back in Wayne Nathan Studio's area, a leather pink chair falls gets extra power from the funky seat shape and holds its own against dramatic graphic artwork.


Another take on seating -- Kemble Interiors uses a peachy-pink -- almost salmon -- on this out-there chair-meets-daybed. The stripes of tone-on-tone pink hammer home the rosey message and make us want to curl up with that magazine. Perhaps with a cocktail...preferably one with watermelon?


Pink Decor Idea #3: The Walls
The walls were splashed with paint in Amanda Nisbet Design's bedroom -- a creative move made all the more intense by the bright shade of pink. By taking advantage of the color's natural sweetness, the room looks cute and put-together -- not at all messy.
