On a recent visit to HD Buttercup, I was wowed by all the shades of pink furniture.  Sofas, bar stools, dining chairs, accent chairs, all ranging  from subtle to striking. I’d never seen so much pink furniture in one room…  clearly pink is making a  comeback in 2018.

I’d heard about Rose Quartz, but Millennial Pink? What a beautiful soft shade of pink, something reminiscent of the pastel tones from the  eighties. But it was paired with copper, giving it an extra burst of fire and freshness.  And now’s there’s also Blooming Dahlia. A smoky shade of pink with hints of coral, reminding me of the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Rapture Rose and Spiced Apple are much more saturated tones of pinky red, and red with brown undertones, respectively.  In fact, at a glance, they remind me of great shades of lipsticks. I love that Pantone chooses so many rich trend colors each season, and I’m also very elated that designers and furniture manufacturers are embracing these colors, making furniture more fashionable.

A rule of thumb to keep in mind, trend colors don’t last forever, so if you find yourself drawn to these colors, or they’re in your personal palette that suits your coloring, I highly suggest snapping them up while you can. Otherwise, having these items custom made can be very very expensive.
