Up on the blog today we are diving into some color theory and getting into the evolution of the color Pink. So much of the history of Interior Design has been influenced by fashion. If you’re an interior designer, or simply interested in interior design, you’re likely up to date on the latest home trends. You know which layouts help optimize a space, which colors collaborate to create and harmonize a beach theme, and which patterns help accentuate a room. But what you may not realize is that many of the interior trends you’ve become familiar with have originated from fashion, and what you see on runway shows eventually trickles down into homes around the world.

One of the earliest appearances of the word “pink" occurs in writer William Painter's, The Palace of Pleasure. Here a character rhapsodizes about an object of his affection: "that sweet breath which spirit through the delicate mouth even as I do smell the roses, pinks and violets hanging over my head” pink is another word for the Dianthus Plumaria flower, which grows in a variety of pale red shades.
