In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month I thought I would put together some images of pink IN THE HOME. I have never been a huge ‘pink’ girl, opting for a peach color bedroom instead of a pink even as a young girl. That being said, I have seen some great ways to use pink in the home and make it look good. I opt for using pink sparingly in design as I feel even the softest of pinks can make a huge impression but that does not always need to be the case. A room full of pink can work if done right.
Since I have never used a lot of pink I thought it was interesting to find out the meaning of the color pink:
“In color psychology, pink is a sign of hope. It is a positive color inspiring warm and comforting feelings, a sense that everything will be okay.
Pink calms and reassures our emotional energies, alleviating feelings of anger, aggression, resentment, abandonment and neglect. Studies have confirmed that exposure to large amounts of pink can have a calming effect on the nerves and create physical weakness in people. Violent and aggressive prisoners have been successfully calmed by placing them in a pink room for a specified amount of time. Exposure for too long can have the opposite effect.“
After reading this it is no wonder the breast cancer awareness ribbon is pink. I always thought the reason itwas because pink was often associated with femininity but rather it is a sign of hope.
