Pink bathroom with brass taps and shower and gold and pink sink

Breaking the loo taboo: Part 2!

September 6, 2020

I’ve never lived anywhere with a bathroom big enough to swing a cat. The littlest room in every home I’ve ever occupied would only just accommodate a revolving hamster. Or possibly, at a push, a whirling guinea pig. And my current home, The Pink House in South East London, is definitely no different…

REVEALED! The Pink House Shower Room

March 4, 2020

This shower room had big boots - or should I say massive faucets - to fill. My previous bathroom renovation, in my Edinburgh Victorian terrace, became something of a viral digital sensation, seen by more than 1 million people across the world. That’s a lot of (water) pressure on my London littlest room.

The scarcely-seen loo side of my Edinburgh bathroom

Breaking the loo taboo

July 31, 2019

When it comes to bathrooms, everyone’s happy to chat pretty taps, rolltop tubs and lovely lighting. But despite the fact that using the loo is the main reason we go to the littlest room, when it comes to designing a sanitary space, no-one really talks about toilets. How very British of us!

What pink means to me

September 12, 2017

Given that it’s basically just red with some white chucked in, pink’s impact is extraordinary. To pay homage to this most polarising of colours, I asked four pink-passionate, super-inspiring people to give me their take on this incredible colour...

3 beautiful blush and brass bathrooms my husband hates

August 5, 2017

Although I'm feeling the pressure to create a bathroom as Pinterest-popular as my last one, at least I have my trump card (surely we need another term - "obama card"?): PINK. And not just pink - blush pink and brass!

6 rooms that rock pink

February 10, 2017

Pink is not just for bedrooms. Or bathrooms. And it no way needs to have 'girly' or 'starve yourself' (thanks Kendall Jenner) connotations. I hope this post inspires you to add a bit more rose-tintedness to your life, whichever space you're renovating...

"Fabulous family living!"

Emily Murray founder of The Pink House Living

"Hello! I’m Emily Murray, founder and editor of The Pink House. I’m a lifestyle journalist who has written and edited for loads of different publications, including Stylist, The Guardian, Grazia, Cosmopolitan, Conde Nast Traveller, Brides, and Mother & Baby. Here I am in the bricks-and-mortar Pink House in South East London, where I live with the Pink House Husband (PHH) and our two small, semi-feral boys. Our fabulous Christopher Farr sofa is covered in marker pen and chocolate, and the Eames rocker has a few suspicious stains. Come in and make yourself at home. No need to take your shoes off."
