Pink has been a defining colour for the best part of a decade, dominating both fashion and interiors. From the memorable millennial pink that hit its peak in 2016 to Pantone’s 2019 Living Coral Colour of the Year to the viral resurgence of Barbiecore hot pink in 2023, the colour pink – in all its iterations - has become a mainstay in the ever-changing design world.
Our love of pink is clearly here to stay, and this year’s emerging trend is the icing on the cake. Say hello to pink fondant – a modern, rosy pink that certainly packs a punch. This uplifting hue is popping up everywhere – including in our latest collections! So here, we’re sharing some more insights into this new shade, along with some of our favourite ways to incorporate the pink fondant hue into your home.
Bedding in Bloom
While millennial pink is generally a dusty, more muted pink, it’s fair to say that pink fondant’s bold and bright nature instantly grabs attention. Adding this vibrant colour to your bedroom is a sure-fire way to start your day feeling energised and joyful, whether you go all-out with a monochrome design or dip your toes into pink interiors by starting with bedding or a piece of pink furniture.
Lean into the playful vibe by mixing pink with fun floral patterns and complementary colourways – the perfect way to bridge fondant pink’s youthful energy with timeless style. Our Pink Bloom and Pink Bloom Gingham linen bedding offers our own take on this cheerful hue, and pairs well with Celeste Blue, Sage, Pearl and our signature ginghams in Warm Blue and Pistachio.
Pastel Pink Sleepwear
Reminiscent of the soft pink of confectioneries, fondant pink is all about bringing a little more fun into your life. This new pigmented pastel exudes positivity, sweetness and a touch of nostalgia, with a playful yet soothing appeal. Embracing the bold, feminine hue in your wardrobe is a nice reminder not to take life too seriously, and we think our Pink Bloom pyjamas make a real statement in sleepwear.
Whether you’re having a quiet night in or are getting ready with your bridal party on your wedding day, our pink pyjamas are packed with personality and make for a super special morning.
A Lick Of Pink
One of the biggest ways to create a statement space in your home is with a splash of pink paint. Fondant pink is a hero colour, and you can champion it by colour drenching a space – skirting-boards, ceilings, window frames and all. This gives a more contemporary feel and is great for small rooms.
If you’re not ready to paint a room from head to toe, try adding colour to only your skirtings and edges. It’s a super simple way to add personality and allows you to see what the colour looks like in a relatively low-cost way.
Pink Patterned Wallpaper
Another way to incorporate some pink into your space is to introduce patterned wallpaper. Feature walls have had their moment, so instead add wallpaper to one zone of the room – behind the shelves in an alcove or on the back of glass cabinets or dressers.
For a bigger statement, divide your walls across with a dado rail, adding wallpaper to one half and painting the other in a complementary colour. Our Pink Bloom Pembroke Stripe wallpaper would be the perfect candy stripe pattern to embrace the fondant pink trend.
