La Vie en Rose – From Neon Pink to Barbiecore Trend

Is pink a color reserved only for little girls? Perhaps it was in the distant past.

Fashionistas, trend experts, and designers have long embraced this color: the fashion house Valentino set a new trend last year by launching complete collections in "Shock Pink," a color that celebrated fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli in the 1930s. The Pantone Color Institute chose Viva Magenta, a powerful fuchsia shade, as the color of the year for 2023, and the movie "Barbie," which dominated cinemas this summer, is also making waves with 'Barbiecore,' shining a spotlight on the color pink.

Although light pink and candy colors may not be to everyone's taste, we now see a subtler approach to this trend in interior design. Walls are painted in pastel shades, and pink accents add colorful touches. The choice of shades is absolutely endless, and even in pastel variations, pink can easily be combined with almost any color.

Pink Accents on the Table

The Rose Garden tableware collection from Villeroy & Boch coordinates with shades like simple white but can also be paired with bold colors to achieve a stunning effect. Porcelain plates and cups are available in solid colors or with a lavish rose pattern. Glassware like the Grape glasses, which impress with their simple design and grape shade, can be used to add small accents without overwhelming the table decor.

Powdery Shades for the Bathroom

Pink is often a perfect choice for the bathroom because while many people want more color in their bathroom, strong shades can often create insecurity. Delicate powdery pink is a good compromise if you want to try the effect, starting with the sink, for example. In the Powder shade, the Artis BiColour sink offers a subtle pink hue that is ideal for creating a warm and personal atmosphere without too much risk. If you like the result, you can choose a similar color for the walls and tiles to create your own pink haven.

Relaxing Accessories Throughout the Home

Another advantage of pink shades? Their versatility. They work well in both modern and classic interior styles and can be combined with almost any color scheme. With a few simple changes and the right accessories, you can create a relaxing and cozy atmosphere throughout your home. Villeroy & Boch offers a wide range of home accessories, including bathroom textiles in a bright coral color, glass vases in delicate pink, or monochrome and colorful soft blankets in the Powder shade. Few other manufacturers offer such a wide selection for designing elegant homes down to the smallest details.
