* Everyone is talking about so-called “millennial pink” right now
* From Instagram to trending sneakers, this shade is everywhere
* Pale pink isn’t just for Barbie anymore
You’ve likely heard the term “millennial pink” by now–and you’ve definitely seen it on your instagram feed. So what exactly is this ubiquitous shade of pink that everyone keeps talking about?
Last year, Pantone declared rose quartz the color of the year, but this frosty pink is a shade that has a more metallic hue, reminiscent of the rose gold iPhone color or the shade of your glass of rosé.
Millennial pink is an extension; a cross over between a soft rose and a muted peach. But as with most trends proliferated on the ‘gram, the term is flexible. Either way, it’s hard to deny the alluring appeal of this feminine shade.
Millennial pink is not only making a splash on our social media feeds and closets though — it’s trending in home decor and interior design too. Kendall Jenner reportedly painted her bathroom walls “baker-miller pink,” citing the hue’s appetite suppressing and calming properties as her reason. We’re not so sure if a pink interior will help you maintain your weight, but it sure looks lovely. Here’s how to add some pink to your space without making it look like Barbie’s dream house.
1. A Pink Accent Chair
Decorating your entry way or living room with blushy accent chair is a subtle approach to adding some femininity to your home. Try opting for a velvet blush option to keep things looking luxe and elegant rather than pre-teen.
