Plants and pink are a match made in heaven

From palms to air plants, cacti to agaves, succulents to staghorns, plants are having a major moment in interiors. Showcasing plants against a pink backdrop is a fun and fresh look that’s sure to make you smile. Start with a white-painted floor to bring the look to life. Then choose a Palm Springs palette of desert hues such as sunset pink and cactus green, or a tropical team of lush palms set against bright pink. Add timber tones and earthy baskets to soften the look. Time to go wild!

How to get the look

  • There are so many beautiful pinks to choose from, so we created a feature wall using two shades to give the wall more interest.
  • A beautiful collection of white ceramics displays foliage on the table and at floor level. White vessels allow the greenery to take centre stage.
  • Alternating pink and white dining chairs in graphic shapes breaks up the pink wall and white floor.
  • Warm wood accents balance the look and prevent the pink from being overpowering.
