The 2010s bore witness to the rise in popularity of decorating with millennial pink — think warm pastel hues like salmon and dusty rose. Incorporating soft, muted shades of pink into your home has become all the rage in the past decade or so, with HGTV stars like Nate Berkus even referring to the pink interior design trend as "classic". Blush-toned couches can be found in Kendall Jenner's Los Angeles living room, while rosy pink ceramic tiles cover the walls and the ceiling of Sarah Paulson's Malibu bathroom. Looking to take a page out of Paulson's book and include the trendy hue in your own space? There are some easy ways to add pink to your bathroom without undertaking a major renovation. 

If you're a renter, or simply don't have the capacity to undertake a laborious paint job or tile installation, don't worry. Consider things like textiles, such as your towels, curtains and rugs, as well as the artwork you hang on the walls. If you don't have a fixed mirror, try including a fun pink-accented style. These are all great ways to add touches of pink to your space without going all out. 

Beyond towels, shower curtains, or bathroom rugs, if your bathroom has a window, consider pink drapes or a tie-up window shade, like these DWCN Blackout Curtains. Also, wall art is not just for your living room. Adding prints featuring pops of pink on the wall, as well as pink frames, mirrors, or sculptures will help you get your pink fix. Similarly, you could also hang a pink wall-mounted shelf or shower caddy to store all your products. Place a cute pink tray or an organizer on the counter to hold other items like a brush, jewelry, and more. Speaking of counter space, if you have some, think about adding a lamp with a pink base or shade, like this Simple Designs Ceramic Table Lamp. 

As for the floor, maybe you have the room for a pink velvet stool or to plop a plant in a whimsical pink pot. You could even incorporate pink plants like the coveted philodendron 'Pink Princess' or the pink aglaonema 'Lady Valentine'. Another option that requires just a bit more handy work is applying temporary peel-and-stick wallpaper or tile accent like these SMART TILES Peel and Stick Backsplash, which can be easily removed when you move out or simply tire of it. You can do one accent wall or commit to the whole room. 

Too much of any one color can overwhelm a space, so don't go overboard with the pink. Make sure to incorporate neutrals like black, cream, or soft gray, or complementary colors such as olive green, gold, orange and slate blue.There are a plethora of hues that pair nicely with the varying shades of millennial pink. In the same vein, be intentional when selecting pink decor to avoid clashing colors. Certain tones like coral and bubblegum pink might not look cohesive when combined together in the same space. 

Overall, there's a myriad of ways to add splashes of pink to your bathroom without needing to buy paint supplies or lay tiles. Consider your textiles, wall art, and what you display on your countertops. Just be sure to keep balance in mind when decorating your bathroom with pink accents as too much pink on pink can look chaotic.
