ink is no longer a gendered colour as

proof of the blush hue which has taken over homewares and statement furniture pieces for the last three years. It’s warm, vibrant, friendly, approachable. It’s going to find a way into your interior whether you like it or not. Pink isn’t going anywhere any time soon, especially blush, that’s scheduled to be on trend for another three to five years.

This Walter Knoll silk carpet from Matisse is a great example of the unconscious introduction of pink on a larger scale. It’s simplistic, chic, and before you know it – you realise it’s a pink similar to Resene BFF. The brilliance of this piece is the silk yarn that effortlessly floats across the floor while playing with the reflection of light.

The Melt Candle Holder in Rose from Citta Design is a minimalist piece that adds flavour to any table or hall setting. Close to Resene Shilo, the holder is a great opportunity to mix and match coloured wax candle sticks to quickly change and add splashes of

colour to any interior. Looking for something a little

more daring? Spice up your lobby with this Bold Sofa by Moroso as seen at Matisse. The ultimate mix of mid-century and new age millennial, this couch is easy to pair with most interior styles and – much like a pair of jeans – can be dressed up or down. This balanced piece was designed in 2015 by Patricia Urquiola and comes in a variety of colourways, but our favourite is this hue of pink close to Resene Irresistible. It is injected with flame-retardant foam over its internal steel frame, and has removable covers.

In Chinese culture, pigs are the symbol of wealth, so why not indulge in this Oink Oink Stool from nood? After all, it is the year of the pig. These stackable stools come in three colourways and are both practical and stylish. Perfect for indoor and outdoor use, this little piggy is sure to put a smile on your younger guests’ faces.

A cheeky chaise never hurt anyone, so we’ve included one of our favourite blush pieces by Early Settler. The minimalist art deco
