Color Trend: Peachy Pink

THE GENTLER SIDE OF HUMAN NATURE GLOWS IN SOFT PINKS AND PEACHES. THEY’RE KIND COLORS THAT STEP BACK A BIT TO ALLOW US TO TAKE CENTER STAGE.

Interior designer Colleen Simonds regularly has pink on her mind. As a result, her favorite paint color these days is Setting Plaster by Farrow & Ball, available at Aspinwall’s Carte Blanche, deployed in this stunning corridor at full gloss. What draws her to the color? It casts a flattering glow and a positive vibe on everyone in reach. These are the color equivalent of candlelight, mellowing our mood and encouraging us to relax and get comfortable.

English Rose Carte Blanche co-founder Rachel Shaffer developed this rosy room scheme for a young professional with a passion for tailored and colorful British country house interiors. Farrow & Ball‘s delicious Hague Blue was the starting point, and time-honored pinks emerged as a feminine counterpoint for the living room. The Surya rug certainly became essential to this soft but not saccharine look, with upholstery choices enhancing the pastel appeal. Available at Carte Blanche.
