Blushing beauty

Blush is the perfect neutral with a hint of color. This calming hue is the ideal color for various interiors, including Feng Shui settings.

Blush, created from infusing pink (a color universally known for love) with beige (a hue associated with balance), makes this shade a harmonious neutral that inspires serene decor.

Across the globe in Africa, the walls of the Majorelle Gardens (known as the Yves St. Laurent Gardens) are washed with this soft hue, as is the entire city of Marrakech in Morocco. They intentionally surrounded the city in blush to reflect the natural sands of the desert and landscaping.

Of course, the concept of using blush in cosmetics is to subtly enhance one’s natural beauty and to provide a healthy glow.

Whether used to enrich the skin tone, architecture, or interiors, this new neutral demands attention…so don’t be shy, blush a little and bring natural beauty to your home.

The wall design Frut a di Mare, above right, was designed from a 19th century watercolor and pencil sketch and is featured in the Damask Collection. The photo of the Bougainvilia and blush wall is from my recent trip to the Majorelle Gardens in Marrakech, Morocco.   SensationalColor.com
