Dusky pink and gold metallics were made for each other

The true beauty of this trend is just how workable it is for the home, and because blush pinks and rich golds naturally pair up to create such a classic look you can play around with your own personal style. Perhaps you love the combination of rose gold and soft geometric lines, maybe you’d rather lighten the look with fancy florals or warm it up with terracotta hues and Moroccan lanterns. You can also choose whether you dip your toe into this trend with pink and gold accessories, or dive right in with dusky walls and gold glinting from every surface. Just make the most of different materials; gold and copper tones will enrich the scheme while wood, concrete and marble will all complement it beautifully. And the great news is this look will work in every room in your house, so bring on those rose-tinted details…

Expert Tips ‘Make dusky pink pop with warm metals and accents of grey, then add natural textures such as blonde wood and concrete to make the pale shades of pink look less cool. For a bedroom try a bold printed duvet in soft shades of pink to instantly update a neutral scheme.

In a smaller space, make pink the focal point with a table or desk and contrast with chairs in shades of grey and gold accessories. For the dining room, try a pink ombré dinnerware set with oil slick or gold cutlery.’
