The colour Misty Pink now beguiles us

Of course you can make your life monotonous. You can also make it colourful. The trend colours in our range are designed to help you do just that. That's why we introduce you to our favourite colour every month. This time we're hyping Misty Pink!

Some things have to sink in for me. Especially impressions that I take with me from travelling. Trade fair visits like my time at this year's Milan Furniture Fair are just one of them. Scrolling through my picture gallery helps me to remember - and it reveals a trend that I missed while I was there: millennial pink hasn't completely disappeared, it's just got older. In 2018, it is surrounded by a mysterious haze and is now called "Misty Pink". Because it fits wonderfully into the current season with its delicate shape, I'm sharing my favourites in the colour with you and giving you tips on how to use them.

How to bring colour into your home

The powder shade is anything but kitsch when combined with plants or grey tones. Black, like the "Franky" chair from Dutchbone, also provides a contrasting programme. If you feel comfortable in a completely pastel-coloured world, go for light blue or mint green. Bluish tones make the powder pink doubly cool.

When it comes to materials, you can opt for cold and contrasting colours such as marble stone or raw concrete. Metal elements in gold and silver are suitable for a touch of glamour.

... or into your look

As a minimalist, it's best to opt for the tone-on-tone version. This makes it easier to choose for every new purchase and makes your home or outfit look particularly extravagant. Because it looks slightly washed out, you don't have to worry about small signs of wear. They give your leather bag vintage charm. You can wear the colour casually with white trousers or jeans and incorporate it into one or two accessories, such as your watch.

Fashion bloggers like Sania Claus Demina show that staying in a colour palette with a bright pink or reaching for earthy tones like Hanna Stefansson can also have its appeal.
