For some, pink isn't just a color, it's a lifestyle. This is certainly true for singer Melanie Martinez, whose feminine style has translated into her interiors, as evidence by a home tour she recently shared to her Instagram page.
Melanie's home is decorated with pink in every single space, from the living room and kitchen to the bedroom. The retro-style home feels straight out of a space age-inspired '60s lookbook, with curved archways, modular sofas, and open shelving units.
Pink is the common thread here, though, with painted ceiling beams, furniture, and accessories peppered throughout the space. Looking to incorporate some pink motifs into your home? We got insight from a design expert on how to style this mood-boosting color.

Experimenting with different pinks in different rooms is key to ensuring that each space feels functional and mood-appropriate; this ranges from the bedroom to the living room in particular.
'Soft pinks are perfect for bedrooms, creating a peaceful and nurturing environment conducive to rest and relaxation,' explains designer Nina Lichtenstein. 'Blush tones on the walls or bedding can add a touch of romance and coziness.'
'Meanwhile, a burst of pink works well in a living space. 'A pink accent wall or pink furniture can add warmth and personality to a living room,' Nina explains. 'When paired with neutral tones, pink can create a sophisticated and inviting space for entertaining or unwinding.'
In general, when considering what colors go with pink, keeping palettes soft with neutrals is a great way to balance out a pink space; we can see Melanie has done this in her home with a white base.
'White, gray, and beige are classic complements to pink, creating a balanced and elegant look,' Nina says. 'These combinations are perfect for achieving a sophisticated, minimalist aesthetic.'
With that being said, if you're working with a mostly neutral space but want to introduce pink, you can't go wrong with a statement piece.
'A statement piece in pink, such as a sofa, armchair, or accent wall, can become the focal point of the room,' Nina says. 'Balance it with more subdued elements to create a cohesive and harmonious design.'
Whether you're a pink fanatic like Melanie, or want to incorporate more playful colors into your home, experimenting with this shade is a great way to create a space that is elevated, warm, and inviting.
