Dusty Pink

Dusty pink is a soft, light desert pink with subtle hints of purple. When paired with the right colors and textures, this shade can make your spaces look sleek and modern. As with most pinks, use sparingly, otherwise you risk creating an environment that feels more like the inside of a gumball machine. Use it lightly—or "dust it," if you will—across surfaces of gray, cream, or white. For instance, layer your charcoal couch with pillows in this shade. Use deep purple accents to tickle out the hints of purple in the pink. Carry the theme throughout the room via dusty pink wall décor and an arrangement of pink flowers. This subtle shade also works well in bedrooms. Offset a stark white bedspread with dusty pink accent pillows and a rug with hints of the same color. If you're head over heels for the color, go big and frame your windows with drapes in this shade of pink. Achieve a balance by incorporating lavender accents into the mix, as well. A surprising color combination you might consider trying is dusty pink with teal. This color combination is not so much feminine as it is eclectic, unique, and terribly eye-catching.
