I never thought I would be decorating with pink and brown – but designers have convinced me this is the most sophisticated color combination for 2025 and beyond

Traditional cozy living room with pink walls, green sofa, brick fireplace, and plaid ottoman.

Pink and brown interiors are everywhere right now, and although I took a little convincing that such a pale, feminine hue would work with a dark, rich shade, I am fully on board with this beautiful, balanced combination and can imagine it's going to be sticking around way beyond 2025.

While many color combinations feature complementary hues, those that sit opposite one another on the color wheel, resulting in a high-contrast look, pink and brown feel unexpectedly soft and harmonious when used together, shares designer Lynn Kloythanomsup of Landed Interiors: 'Brown and pink seem to work in harmony since they are adjacent on the color wheel. Pink is a tint of red, and brown is a shade of orange. Red and orange are next to each other on the color wheel, and are close in relationship.'
