It adds lightness and character to any room.
As the days of drenching our homes in Millennial gray (thankfully) pass us by, we're looking for new neutrals to take its place. We need a shade with more warmth and character, but not one that's likely to clash with our furniture choices. Breaking away from greige and taupe, celebrity interior designer Nate Berkus is making the case for an unexpected pick: soft pink.
Previously, this sweet hue might've conjured images of nurseries and childhood bedrooms. But as Berkus exemplified in a recent bedroom design, it has a classic quality that doesn't have to be limited. He shared a Nate Berkus Associates project to Instagram, showing off how soft pink elevated the room. "A gentle nod to color—soft pinks bring a layer of warmth and charm to this @nateberkusassociates bedroom," Berkus wrote in an Instagram caption. "Proof that pink can be classic, too."
The key to making this shade work is similar to Millennial gray—don't overdo it. You don't have to cover all your walls in pink, but a few well-placed pieces will make the room feel intentional. We were inspired by Berkus, and decided to track down the best decor pieces to add this new neutral to our own homes. From a fringed Rich Ranch armchair to velvet table lamps and pillows, they add a softness and lightness to any space.

This makes a great cozy bedroom or reading chair. This wingback one with sloped arms and a waterfall seat is easy on the back and the knees. Snag a pair and a white bistro table to create an inviting conversation set.
