Nate Berkus Proves One Unsuspecting Color Trend Isn't Going Anywhere Soon

Incorporating trends when creating a cohesive color palette for your home can make the space feel fresh and new — at first. Never forget that trends come and go. Although a certain color may be all the rage now, that same shade will make your home look outdated once it goes out of style. As a result, it is important to prioritize timelessness when opting for popular colors. Thankfully, HGTV star Nate Berkus took to Instagram to share an unsuspecting color trend that isn't going anywhere soon — stunning soft pink shades.

In the Instagram post, Berkus shared three photos of how soft pink design features could be incorporated into a home. The first image shows a bedroom adorned with wallpaper that features soft pink flowers. In the second photo, you can see that a pink chair was placed in the corner to complement the color of the floral wallpaper pattern. The third image shows a bathroom with soft pink tiles throughout the shower and on the surrounding walls. These ideas could serve as inspiration for how you can add touches of soft pink to your own home for a classic style that will stand the test of time.

You might not think of pink as a timeless color, but Berkus has shown that selecting soft hues of the shade means that it can actually fit into this category. Since the subtle pink shades the HGTV designer chose are muted, they exude a level of sophistication and elegance that will never go out of style. Berkus affirmed this point in the caption of his Instagram post. "A gentle nod to color—soft pinks bring a layer of warmth and charm to this @nateberkusassociates bedroom," the star penned. "Proof that pink can be classic, too."

You can incorporate soft pink shades throughout your home without having to worry about the colors eventually making the space look outdated. There are a few different ways to go about this. A low-commitment move would be to simply add soft pink decor pieces. Think throw pillows or rugs, for example. To apply this technique, you could switch out your existing throw pillow covers with soft pink ones, like the Pallene Faux Fur Plush Throw Pillow Covers. If you would like to choose a rug for your living room, something similar to the Lahome Pink Boho Area Rug is a good option because it has hints of soft pink but is not quite as overwhelming as a solid pink rug. If you would prefer to take the muted pink trend a bit further, opt for more permanent design choices. Consider the Kingston Pink Ivy Hill Tile surrounding a bathtub, or revamp a room with a dusky pink shade of wall paint.
