There's no need to be scared of using this feminine colour. In moderation, it looks soft and sophisticated – not sugary! And we have just the pieces for you to try, all taken from the Ideal Home ranges at Very. Get ready to think pink!
1. The curtains
Here's an simple way to introduce a pretty block of blush to any room – made even easier by an eyelet header, which means you can hang them from a pole without having to fiddle about with rings or hooks. The pair of curtains comes in a choice of two drops (182cm and 229cm) and two single-curtain widths (208cm and 284cm), so you have a high chance of finding a combo that works for your window.

4. The headboard
Who wouldn't want to wake up to this beauty every morning? It's plenty tall enough to prop yourself up against and enjoy breakfast in bed, and its velvet finish ticks another trend box.
