Soft pink and peach color schemes are trending in 2023, and their popularity shows no signs of slowing down in 2024. The shade of pink is extremely versatile and has been a popular choice in interiors for centuries. Among all the variations, salmon pink and peach stand out above the others because they share orange undertones and warm characteristics.
Decorating with pink is not a new phenomenon. Despite its current renaissance, this subtle color trend has been around for centuries. “There's a good reason why salmon is called the king of fish. Salmon in all its forms is a color we've enjoyed on the walls of our homes as much as we have on our dinner tables for centuries. The distinctive blush orange color has been common on the walls of luxury homes throughout the past century,” says Dulux Creative Director Marianne Shillingford.
Pink has long been used to great effect by architects, decorators, and interior designers. The key to a timeless interior is that it's not too sweet, childish, or flashy. American actress Kirsten Dunst's 1930s ranch kitchen, designed by Jane Hallworth of Hallworth, is the perfect example of how to create a pink kitchen that doesn't look sickly sweet or dated. This is an example.
Pink is the new neutral decor. They have a natural ability to deliver warmth and interest without overwhelming a space. But when faced with every color, from soft rose pink to peach tones, choosing the right shade can be a tricky task. The key is to choose calm colors.
Salmon pink, with its clear connection to the natural world, is used to paint accent walls and brighten high-traffic spaces with splashes of color that symbolize and promote health and vitality, and can be used to brighten high-traffic spaces in farmhouses. Perfect for the kitchen.
“Because of its close relationship with shades of pink and orange, this color uplifts the mood and stimulates energy without being overpowering like many red hues. On the other hand, salmon has a more calming and subtle undertone. Pink can be a good choice to promote quiet confidence and serenity,” enthuses Sarah Lloyd, Senior Brand Manager at Valspar.
To finish this look, pair salmon pink with naturally occurring colors like taupe, sand, and green to create the ultimate rustic kitchen with class.
