Like millions of others this summer , childhood nostalgia took hold and I found myself sitting in a movie theatre , a rare occurrence for me , taking in the new Barbie movie . Barbie ' s Dream House with its bold , bright colors and plastic furnishings was the first experience many of us had with design . The current trend towards Barbie-inspired style brings back memories of childhood when life was simpler and the world seemed a little more rosy . The trend focuses on the use of pink in a variety of shades to create chic , bold , and empowering styles . Working with pink , especially in an adult space , can be tricky . Here are a few tips to integrate your favorite pink hues tastefully into your décor ! - Home Trends ' Senior Editor , Crystal Adolphe
PERSONALIZE YOUR HUE If you love bright , bold color , a hot pink might be just right for you . If you prefer a softer , more sophisticated style , opt for more muted shades like blush pinks . For a look with more depth and variety , create a palette that includes pinks in a variety of hues !
LESS IS MORE Use your favorite pink as an accent color for a more subtle pop of color . If you ' re unsure , start small with decorative accents , small appliances or accent chairs . For a stronger presence , consider a feature wall or a statement piece like a sofa .
MAKE IT FUN At its heart , the look is all about playfulness so have fun with it ! Look for pieces in unique shapes , fun patterns and vintage styles .
