I was skeptical about pink decor, but Mariah Carey’s light pink sofa made me rethink how this shade can elevate a sophisticated space. According to Homes & Gardens, there’s no other way to put it: pink is powerful.

Whether in vibrant versions or soft hues, this color—associated with dopamine stimulation—moves effortlessly between elegance and relaxation.
For those who prioritize sophistication in home decor, dusty rose emerges as a timeless choice, and Mariah Carey proves this theory with her light pink sofa. As shown in recent posts on her Instagram, the singer pairs the sofa with cushions in shades of orange and white, creating visual contrast and adding texture to the composition.
Design experts consulted by Homes & Gardens state that decorating with pink is an effective way to bring personality to neutral spaces, especially when the chosen shade is softer and more elegant, such as dusty rose.
Designers also point out that the living room is a space that allows for exploring different shades of pink, as long as there is moderation in the amount of area dominated by the color.
“When using shades of pink in the living room, there are a variety of options available, depending on how bold you want to be,” explains Ally Dowsing-Reynolds, co-founder and interior expert at Dowsing & Reynold, in an interview with Homes & Gardens. “If you’re looking for a subtle touch of pink, it’s worth incorporating a soft tone on an accent wall or swapping picture frames and light switches for pink versions, creating a playful and unexpected look.”
She adds: “Adding a pink sofa to the living room creates immediate impact. Pairing it with other shades from the same palette helps create harmony, but it’s important not to use more than three shades of pink in the same space, to avoid an overdone or visually disjointed result.”
Following this logic, Homes & Gardens highlights CB2’s modern and elegant pink sofa as a sure choice for those looking to embrace the trend, especially when paired with ruffled cushion covers from H&M, creating a contrast of patterns similar to that used by Mariah Carey. I never thought I’d say this—but I’m completely convinced.
