Electric Pink Is the Latest Color We're Taking Straight From the Runway and Into Our Homes — Here's How
This trending color is hot off the runway, and it really is la vie en rose
Interiors always draw inspiration from the runway, so in our Off the Catwalk series, we take the latest looks and see how designers and brands are interpreting them for the home.
If the Spring/Summer 2026 runways were any indication, pink is big right now. Across the collections, blush pink was a clear standout, and while you can’t go wrong with this dusty favorite, it was the electric pops of fuchsia — in Alaïa and Chloé collections — that truly stole the show for us.
The trending pink shade is flirty and fabulous, but not only on the runway. Decorating with pink is having a renaissance in interiors, too.

Whether you’re looking to lean into Memphis style, or you are just hoping to tap into your inner Material Girl like Madonna, here are a few ways you can incorporate this trend into your own home (and why).
