Nearly a year ago, Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling’s kitchen caught my attention with its bubblegum-pink accents and white-and-pink marbled countertops. The space has lingered in my mind ever since – and now, the design feels even more relevant for 2026 than it did at the time.
Decorating with pink is one of the best ways to infuse your home with some much-needed vibrancy, and Eva and Ryan show us how it's done in full force. From the pink fridge to the painted walls (Farrow & Ball's Estate Emulsion is a great dupe), the color is dominant without being distracting, balanced out beautifully with the calming white marble.
The design works so well because of the varied textures: from the glossy refrigerator to the veined marble, the blend of finishes maintains a dynamic appearance. It's a reminder that pink kitchen ideas don't need to feel childish. When paired with the right materials, this hue is utterly sophisticated. Below, I've curated some of my favorite finds inspired by Ryan and Eva's kitchen, as well as explored in detail why their kitchen ideas work so beautifully.

Jadeite is undeniably beautiful, and this 2-bowl set by Martha Stewart is no exception. As a bonus, they are dishwasher safe. This color is perfect for establishing an elegant accent in a pink kitchen, ideal for displaying on open kitchen shelving.
While introducing a pink fridge like Eva's to your space is certainly a bold move, opting for a pink accessory can be just as impactful. With 10 speeds and a 4.5 quart capacity, this powerhouse mixer is softened by its light pink hue. Rated one of the best kitchen appliances by our expert reviewers year after year, the Kitchen Aid Artisan Stand Mixer is a classic for a reason.
The subtle, organic curve of these bowls looks perfect as part of any tablescape. They are highly versatile and look fantastic stacked among colorful pieces, like Eva has done with her green bowls.
The room is proof that mixing and matching different shades can work wonders. The deeper, brighter pink on the cabinets contrasts with the paler wall paint, bringing a harmonious blend to the area. And I am not alone in my thoughts.
'About a year ago, Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling’s kitchen also caught my eye with its bold bubblegum pink accents and swirls of white-and-pink marble, a combination that feels even more relevant in 2026,' comments Megan Slack, the head of Celebrity Style at Homes & Gardens.
'Pink room ideas are not just playful; they can transform a space with energy and warmth. Here, the color dominates through the fridge, cabinets, and painted walls, yet never overwhelms, balanced beautifully by the calm, veined white marble. The mix of textures and varied shades keeps the room dynamic and sophisticated, proving that pink can be both bold and harmonious when used with intention.'
Plus, you don't need to paint your cabinets to play with pink the same way as Eva.
To recreate the look, invest in a pink statement piece, like this KitchenAid stand mixer, alongside some more traditional accessories, like these ceramic bowls from Amazon.
Ultimately, Eva and Ryan’s kitchen reminds us that color is about personality, mood, and statement all at once. Pink is no longer a kitchen cabinet color trend to tiptoe around; it’s a bold choice that can define a space while feeling timeless. In 2026, embracing it with confidence is the surest way to make any room feel alive, modern, and unforgettable.
