Dusty-hued drapes. Nothing says romance like floor-to-ceiling curtains in the prettiest shade of pink. This delicate hue is best paired with a neutral palette for maximum impact.
Sophisticated gray. Cool, dark spaces can benefit from the softness of blush. A simple blanket or pillow cover is all that’s needed to make a monochromatic palette warm and welcoming without losing the grown-up feel.
Blush accents can introduce softness to a room featuring lots of hard materials such as marble, granite and metals.

Lush and blush. Some of the most beautiful plants have pale pink blooms — proteas, peonies and camellias to name a few — so there’s no doubt this hue pairs well with greenery. Think ivy, a string of pearls or another hanging variety for a relaxed, bohemian vibe.
When it comes to indoor plants, the more the merrier. They like company, so bring in a few, placing them against a blush background so they’ll really pop.

Mix textures. Think beyond paint and have fun using this pretty shade in interesting materials throughout your home. A pink velvet chesterfield sofa certainly makes a talking point, while silk drapes keep this living room light and airy.
