Our Six Favorite Blush Paint Colors
You’re Making Us Blush
It doesn’t take much for Laurel to be inspired for an interior’s design. Such is the example of this pink gin bottle she spotted during one of her travels. I agree! The colors in this photo are simple and sophisticated at the same time. Let’s look at how to use this beautiful color in our homes. Get ready to blush!
Six Beautiful Blush Paint Colors

Ah, but what if we stop calling this extremely versatile color “pink” and add it to a broader group of hues called “blush“. That’s all it took to allow blushing beauties to be used everywhere. Let’s look!

There are so many interesting details in this decor and the earthy blush hues in the amazing brick wall anchor the entire design.
