Pink

Pink – Put a Little Springtime into Your Home

The pink MCD sofa was designed by Marie Christine Dorner for Ligne Roset. This furniture line combines classic optics with a soft and comfortable core. The covering is smooth and clear-cut, with seams that were stitched into squares. The fine stitch quilting on the arm and back rests of the inner cushioning takes up the pattern of the outer body, giving the sofa its bulbous form. The subtle combination of coverings marks the boundary between the two sofa sections; a structured exterior and a soft interior. A versatile piece of furniture with compact dimensions and a straightforward classic design, it is also a very comfortable retreat. The upholstered furniture series MCD is available as three- and two-seater versions and encompasses an armchair with a sitting height of 41 cm. The foot rests are available in light or dark wood versions. The MCD series would also be a great fit for the reception area of a company or hotel lobby.

With its pink "Plumy" armchair, designed by Annie Hiéronimus, Ligne Roset has re-adapted one of its iconic bestsellers in 2016. This model epitomizes extraordinary sitting comfort and highlights Ligne Roset’s savoir faire in the area of all-foam seat designs. Thanks to the new generation of foam material now available, it is even more comfortable and durable than ever; an unconventional and uncomplicated contemporary model. Together with the stool, the fold-out seat cushion enables very relaxed sitting – or even reclining. The covering was designed in a deliberately casual way to show creasing with wear. It is available as an all-fabric or all-leather version or, alternately, in a version made with the lining material of the seat and back cushions. The "Plumy" series is available as a three-seater, two-seater, armchair or stool design. The larger three-seater model has a width of only 237 cm and is thus perfect for small living rooms.

The pink "Teatime" couch table designed by Designbüro Müller & Wulff for Ligne Roset, invites the look of the 50s into your living room. It combines a sawn wooden oak panel with a delicate chrome frame. The panel can be flipped over to reveal a silk-matt pink finish; this adds a lovely, sophisticated touch to the "Teatime" couch table. Also available with a slate grey inner surface. Measurements: 57.5 cm x 64 cm, height 35 cm, price starting at about 743€.

With the "Basket" side table, Danish design manufacturer Ferm Living has designed a home accessory that is anything but ordinary despite its understated graphic design. The wide selection of colors and sizes available for this duo allow it to fit in with just about any new trend for interiors. These two get along with each other splendidly: The metal basket and wooden panel embody functionality and harmony. Together, they are so timeless and iconic that they should be a part of everyone’s interior décor. Dimensions: Height 35 cm, Ø: 40 cm, price starting at about 109€

The copper ceiling light "Vintage" (price starting at about 119€) is available in various sizes. The pink "Silent" glass vase (bulbous) by Muuto, price starting at about 49€, and the drop-formed pink "Sannolik" vase by Ikea, height 17 cm, price starting at about 4€ are additional refreshing accessories.

The meaning of the color pink?

Just as there are numerous shades of pink, there are also numerous meanings and forces that are associated with this color. We see things through rose-colored lenses; we are "in the pink" when we feel fit and healthy and "tickled pink" when we are extremely happy or amused. And whenever we want to depict something positively, we do so by "painting a rosy picture".

How does pink affect us?

Pink gems give us strength for the challenges we face. We associate the color pink with romance and love. Just like all other pastel shades, pink represents lightness and freshness. It heals, warms, comforts and can lift our spirits. When you feel tired or down, a pink-colored bouquet will exhilarate you. Not only will you be delighted by the sight of a wonderful, pink-colored lily blossom, its fragrance will mesmerize you as well. One large lily will suffice to fill an entire room with its aroma. When spring arrives, wonderful cherry blossoms or, for a short time, magnolia boughs, are both attention-grabbing as well as create a wonderful mood within your four walls.

The effect of pink according to feng shui

Feng shui is a special way of decorating your home. Properly placed furniture in a room allows chi (life force) to flow properly and thereby enhance your well-being. According to the teachings of feng shui, there are five important elements: Wood, fire, earth, metal and water. The color pink belongs to the element of fire and radiates friendliness and warmth. If you linger in a room that has been painted in shades of pink you become even-tempered and feel like you are in good hands. If you entered the house in a bad mood, you certainly won’t leave in one. Pink tends to lift one’s spirits.

Pink as a wall color

You can attain a wonderful indoor ambience using pink. It helps us to reach inner peace and serenity. Pink is especially suited for large wall surfaces. Depending on the nuance used, it radiates a very relaxed or refreshing vibe into your living areas. Dusky pink tends to give your living quarters more of a dignified, warming atmosphere while white pink enchants your rooms with more of a child-like freshness.

Which part of your living quarters is best suited for pink?

Because pink nuances are so varied – and thus also their effects – the color pink is suitable for every living area. Pink is perfect for your bedroom or nursery because pink provides for restful sleep here. Apart from that, hallways, kitchens or even living rooms are wonderfully suited for this color. Keep in mind, however, that men don’t necessarily like pink. You might be able to win over your partner for this color if you combine it with black.

What can pink be combined with?

The color pink can be combined with any material and any color. You can underscore pink’s expression of freshness by combining it with white. The dusky pink shades exude an especially cozy effect and create a warm room atmosphere when combined with wood. The combination with any pastel shade, whether light blue, pink, pastel green or pastel yellow is wonderfully invigorating – not only for your nursery.
