Looking to create a subtle, romantic dining room? You can’t go wrong with pastel pink. “I love the softness and sophistication of this color for summer,” says Caitlin Murray of Black Lacquer Design. “Super-subtle pastels feel so fresh right now, but they also offer a timeless quality (and are safe since they read as neutrals).” Serena & Lily’s pink is a soft and sweet shade that looks best with warm camel tones and other dramatic neutrals.
