I Was Skeptical About Pink Decor – But Mariah Carey’s Dusty Rose Sofa Has Me Rethinking How Blush Can Elevate a Sophisticated Space
Mariah Carey's blush pink sofa adds the perfect amount of color to her living space, adorned by orange and white pillows for contrast
There's no other way to say it: pink is powerful. Whether you opt for a bright hue or a muted shade, this dopamine-inducing color straddles the line between elegance and play.
For those who prioritize sophistication in their home design, a dusty rose is always a winner, and Mariah Carey proves our theory with her blush pink sofa. As seen on her Instagram page, the singer adorns her rose sofa with orange and white pillows, adding some contrast and texture to the piece of furniture.

Designers say that living rooms allow for an array of pink shades, but she recommends being economical with how much of the space is dominated by the color.
'When using pink shades in the living room, there are a variety of options available, depending on how bold you want to go,' Ally Dowsing-Reynolds, co-founder and interior expert at Dowsing & Reynold. 'If you’re looking for a subtle pop of pink, incorporate a muted shade as a feature wall or upgrade picture frames and light switches to pink ones for a fun look.'
She continues, 'Adding a pink sofa to your living space will give it an instantly striking look; pairing this with other shades of pink throughout the room can also give it a cohesive feel. Be sure not to use more than 3 shades of pink in each room, as it can become overpowering and disjointed.'
With that in mind, we love this sleek, modern rose sofa from CB2 , which would look fantastic with this ruffled cushion cover from H&M for some pattern contrast, like Mariah's. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm totally sold.
