THE POWER OF PINK!

Pink is a mixture of the energy, power, and attention of red, with the purity, openness, and insight offered by white.  This means Pink is “Pure Gentle Energy!”  It’s one of Spring’s prettiest colors, but it’s also one of the hardest to do well. 

Pink represents romance, affection, love, compassion, and pure nurturing feminine passion.  For most people, any shade of pink screams, “No Boys Allowed!”   And only men secure in their own masculinity will wear the color.  Spring is the season that re-introduces the color in all it’s glory with the spectacular red bud blossoms, tulips, hyacinth, and those delicious pastel m&m candies, to name just a few. 

But although pink can bring serenity and calm to a room, too much pink or a too intense shade, can actually bring about the fiery energy of the red.  So when painting walls for calm, use a soft whisper of the color such as Sherwin Williams “Innocence”.   Sometimes an accent of the color is all that’s needed as you see in our bedroom photo.

The walls were painted Sherwin Williams “Rice Paddy” and accents of pink were introduced into the room for a pop of color.  The pretty white Table Lamp and Basket of Spring Flowers, both from Trinity, create a neutral warmth to the room tying the green and pink together.  The beautiful Crystal Mini-Light Chandelier or a light and airy Tiered Three-Light Candelabra can be positioned over a reading chair, desk, bath or dressing area.  Both are available in a soft white finish with pretty pink and white crystals for a soft, romantic, feel without being overpowering, while still screaming, “for princesses only!” 

And don’t forget the “Pretty-as-a-Flower” Ceiling Fan with the two rows of blades rotating in different directions!  Available in Blushing Pink upper blades with a choice of Spring Green or Pretty Pink (pictured) lower blades.  Not only does it give the room a fresh, new, petal-pretty look, but it will help cut down on those air conditioner bills too! 

Remember, a little pink goes a long way.  And with a few updates from the new  Spring line of lamps, chandeliers, fans, artwork, and accessories that are arriving daily at Trinity, you can easily update your favorite space with the full Power of Pink!
