I started my day off with a delightful client meeting. She embraced her own style and wasn't afraid of color! Her home had loads of character and she had a great eye for one of a kind vintage finds! That's always a bonus in my world. We got to talking about colors for her home, prints, schemes and all that design "stuff", which got me thinking about the idea of introducing one colorful upholstered piece into a room. I think pops of color look best balanced with neutrals, and moments of peace, not everything in your design should shout for equal attention.
Come March, I crave the shades of pretty blooms and fresh grass. I definitely think I see a pink upholstered "something" in my near future and hopefully home! I've been saving an array of inspirational images this winter....

We're on the same wavelength! You might just love the hot pink chairs in my living room I posted today :)
Julie - I'm always attracted by a bold color on anything (mirror frame, piano) but have yet to (oh wait, I do have an all red chair and ottoman) ...any way, I do hesitate because I don't want too many Big Impacts creating visual clutter.
I am impressed at how many of these pinks begin to look like neutrals (especially the last photo).
Cheers!
I am loving pink too these days. can't wait to use it in my house or a client' chair. soft pink is my flavor of choice!
Nothing like a dash of pink to brighten every room!!
I am working with a client who, in our first meeting, said that she has decided that pink is an empowering color. "Yea!" I thought, bold pink with orange in a contemporary space! Lot's of white give the same balance that your neutrals do, while offering the contemporary feel she is looking for. I can not wait to post final picture in mu blog!
very nice , i really like the style and color , welldone
I love the pop of hot pink.... reminds me of my favorite pink peonies. I think having a touch of this color would give a burst of instant happiness each time I laid eyes on it.
Amazing inspiration!
I love the pink sofas, it's a great look to have the bold pop of color against a neutral background.
Thanks for sharing.

I would love something upholstered in pink, its such a young, fresh color. My husband needs a little talking into though. That being said, India Hicks home has a pink sofa and is still manly at the same time. Thats a perfect example to show him- thank you!!
I loooooove pink chairs! Check out how I turned a boring old chair in a hot pink one for less than $10!
