Emma Stone may be making waves with her latest film, Poor Things, but her interiors lean more towards a (refined) Barbie dream house.
The actor recently listed her Los Angeles home for sale for just under $4 million, and one of the main highlights (apart from the ample green space and spa-worthy bathroom) is the bright and cozy living room, featuring white couches adorned with hot pink pillows.
With painted green ceilings and tiles, the room is infused with just the right amount of bright, complementary colors.
There's no question that decorating with pink continues to prevail. According to Lick, searches for ‘Barbie pink’ had a 116% increase last year, while searches for ‘Pink Paint’ increased by 22%. We can only put that down to a phenomenon by a certain Greta Gerwig, whose influence continues to tap into the interior world months after the movie's release.
So, how can we follow Emma's lead and experiment with a chic but bold twist on the ever-popular hue? Martin Waller, the founder of Andrew Martin, encourages incorporating bold colors, such as pink, by drawing from the Sunshine State.
'It is the exuberant Miami nightlife that defines its architectural and interior style,' he says. 'Elaborate Art Deco shapes meet sunset oranges, pinks, and the flash of neon lights. This trend is for the bold, the sensual, and those who pursue the fun.'
Pink meets its match with green, a color that Martin says 'will leave your friends full of envy.' It doesn't only evoke jealousy; green has expansive and energetic properties.
'More and more, I’ve seen clients leaning towards these fresher blues and greens due to their uplifting, contemporary feel,' adds Lick's color expert Tash Bradley. 'They make a room feel bigger and brighter and will leave you feeling refreshed when you’re around them.'
The perfect combination of the trend-forward and mood-boosting, pink and green are the ideal combination for those looking to stray away from the classic neutral. As Andrew Martin's Head of Digital Helena Flynn put it, 'Green is most definitely the new gray.'
