Colour Spotlight: Turn Up The Heat With Bold Yet Livable Raspberry
Updated on January 8, 2024

Senior market editor Kai Ethier shares which hue she’s crushing on right now.
It’s finally summer! Yes, we’re feeling a touch of cabin fever, but adding a burst of this sophisticated take on pink will give our rooms some much-needed energy and help us start loving our homes again. Nautical hues may be a summer staple, but a deep rose-colored escape feels fresh and vibrant — viva la vida!

How To Add A Small Accent
The statement sofa in this living room by designer Cy Carter and architect Barbara Bestor is nothing less than eye candy; it gives the light-filled space a fuchsia-forward dose of vitality.

“When we stumble upon things we love, we find a space for them,” says homeowner Ali Yaphe of this entryway’s shocking pink rug. Her daughter Annie seems to approve of the colorful space, too.

Kids’ rooms are the perfect place to experiment with color! Designer Sam Sacks played with a sunset-inspired palette — including a rich raspberry blanket casually draped over the bed — in her daughter’s Cali-cool bedroom. Bedding can easily be replaced as the seasons change.

How To Make A Big Statement
Afternoon tea in the sitting room is never dull when paired with a deliciously deep pink feature wall and matching floral vignette. A red ottoman spices up the cooler hues in this palette.

Similar to Farrow & Ball’s statement wall, fuchsia grasscloth wallpaper adds even more visual interest to the eye with subtle texture. This petite principal bedroom proves that even small spaces can have big style.

Rugs are a simple yet striking way to inject color into a space — just look to this saturated dining room adorned with pink and purples hues.
