Blush pink, AKA millennial pink, is having a moment. And we have to say, we’re loving it. It’s a sweet shade to add a dash of colour to a room without being too bright, and it’s probably no coincidence it looks great against green houseplants (another millennial weakness) as well as neutral tones of grey, black and white.
While the pretty shade may have infiltrated your wardrobe already, there’s no reason to stop there – brightening up a workspace is a great way to lift your mood as you sit down to even the dreariest of tasks.

Many people think blush pink’s popularity stemmed from the charmingly kitsch 2014 Wes Anderson film The Grand Budapest Hotel, which centred on a hotel painted in the distinctive shade. Then came the popular rose gold iPhone of 2015, followed by rose quartz being named Pantone’s colour of the year in 2016…and since then there’s been no stopping its rise.
It’s made its way on to clothing, interiors, music videos and advertising galore, influencing famous designers including March Jacobs, Gucci and Balenciaga. It’s hard to go to a new bar or café in central London without finding at least a nod to the colour du jour.
If you want to extend your love of this colour, there are loads of blush pink accessories for your lounge too. And, blush pink goes brilliantly with Pantone's colour of the year for 2020, the 'timeless' Classic Blue.
