I live in the Washington, DC, area, where many people are waiting for the city's famous cherry blossom trees to bloom into a sea of soft pink petals. This annual spring event provides an amazing source of color inspiration for pink lovers everywhere, who know that pink is a gentle, soothing color that represents love and romance. Here are some pretty ideas for bringing cherry blossom pink into your home this spring.
Pink and gray is a classic color scheme that works well in a contemporary or traditional setting.

Create a unique space with pink stripes. Use a wall covering or paint with different shades of light and midtone pinks.
Dress up your bedroom for spring with pink pillowcases, a cherry blossom print duvet and a floral patterned area rug.
Go ahead and paint your bathroom cabinets pink. Use a slightly darker shade on the walls for a monochromatic look.

If you have a room with a low ceiling, consider painting or wallpapering both the walls and the ceiling. This will also help a small room feel bigger.
For only a couple of weeks each year, nature's perfect pinks are on display when cherry blossoms are in full bloom.
