A few months ago, when I told a neighbour we were applying for planning permission to erect a pink steel structure at the front of our house, she just laughed: “In Lewisham? You’ll be lucky!” But we DID get lucky, and ours was given the go ahead just last week. Hooray! Break out the pink champagne!
Here at The Pink House, we unabashedly LOVE pink and everything it denotes – irreverence, playfulness, flirtation and yes, an unabashed celebration of the feminine (whatever gender you are). So we rustled up The Pink House’s most on-brand shopping edit ever. Here are 11 perfect pieces to pink up your pad…
