Let’s all raise a glass to 2012, a year that’s full of promise! In honor of the many parties we’ll attend this month and the heady feeling of endless possibilities a new year brings, we selected a color that’s fresh, effervescent and downright bubbly.
Wanna know what it is?
Pink Champagne!

“No longer relegated to baby nurseries, today’s Pink Champagne is a whisper of a color, fast becoming a new neutral. Rich when paired with black, camel, or metallics in particular — Pink Champagne is an unexpected and utterly lovely choice for the revelry of January.” —Marianne Canada, HGTV Home Studio
1. apartment therapy 2. Gourmet
“I’ve never been much of a ‘girly-girl,’ but I’m so drawn to this refined shade. It’s sweet without being cloying and soft without being boring. It works equally well for walls and sofas as it does for lips and nails. I’ll raise my flute of pink champagne to that!” —Briana Mowrey, Senior Online Editor
1. This is Glamorous 2. Style Me Grasie
“To me, there’s nothing more beautiful than a soft, feminine shade of pink. Whether it’s in a luxurious bedroom or an elegant living room with chocolate accents, I could literally surround myself in a sea of gold and champagne pink in any room in the house. And to think that only years ago I swore off all-things pink!” – Kayla Kitts, Assistant Editor

“January is a time for celebration and rejuvenation, and champagne pink represents that very well. The soft pink tone brings a refreshing, cheerful touch to any space and can add elegance when paired with the right color.” —Farima Alavi, Assistant Editor
So, have we inspired you to ”think pink” and add a splash of the bubbly to your decor?
To step back from my busy life and enjoy my family after all they are whats really important to me in life
To show love to my family as if every day is my last! To help others more.

Ooh la la! How refined! This shade made even the most modest of homes seem straight out of Park Avenue!
My resolution for this year is to get moving! I need to start walking to get ready for my hiking vacation with my sister in June.
Such a pretty and delicate colour!
A perfect color for the New Year. I especially love the headboards. So pretty and elegant,

I love the color. I just put down ice pink, beige and gray ceramic tile and gray Vertical blinds. Boy was i lucky this time. I just fell in love with the color but figured it was probably outdated. I am so glad because i was going to do it anyway.
Too Girly! I have 3 boys a husband and 2 golden retrievers there is no place in my home for that color.
I makes me think of my grandmother or even my great grand mother! Way too girly and pale.
This isn't for me
Must say it is the prettiest color of recent months, but the orange pink I do not care for. But I am using a lot of soft pastel pinks right now in my home and I love them
Hi Doris so do I.
I love it..but it might be too feminine for the main area, with guys living in it too..I have one bedroom and bathroom, in what I call ANTIQUE PINK..it is a little "dustier" than this:) It looks wonderful with chocolate brown and silver accents..
I love it! I think it would compliment so many different colors depending on what style you were using it with. Plus I think it gives you so many options to change things up.
It would be a good color if you didn't have to live in it. I have grandbabies and great grandbabbies that would destroy such pretty and delicate rooms.
Definitely not for me….reminds me of eldery ladies and nursing home wall colors.
Wwaaaayyyy too girly! Few men would feel welcomed by this color… unless it were in a bordello. My husband would HATE it! (It seems all or most of those who liked it are female.)
It's just too tame for me. I love pinks, but my taste runs towards the magenta side of pink. I liked the sofa piped in black, but it just wouldn't work in my home.
this is a color that will looked dated very easily- like the mac and cheese colored walls of the past- i love the color-in small doses
Love it very calming and beautiful !
I don't care for this color at all. Too pale, too pink. I guess I am for the earth tones all the way!
What can I say? Nope am not inspired in the least.
Love pink, use it as an accent color in most of my house. Please,please starting showing something else besides house hunters on Fri. That's why I am no watching hgtv right now!
House hunters could be taken off the air every day and I would be happy.
Sorry,am typing on kindle. Meant not.
I am not a fan of pink at all.
I think my granddaughter would love this color. Might consider painting the guest room pink champagne.
The only pink I like is fuchsia used as an accent.
:p
To all the people who are dissing pink and this pink champagne in particular as "too girly" are doing a disservice to men. When paired with gray, silver, black, pewter and white it is sophisticated and stunning, not "girly". Take a good look at the tailored furniture and accessories. Part of design is to look at the whole picture not just the so called connotation of the color name
I also agree about way too much House Hunters on Friday nights.
I came close. My kitchen is pink vanllia. It's a soft pink and subtle. I love it!
Pink Champagne is a beautiful soft shade. I would probably use it in a bedroom or maybe a little in the dining room. I would not be comfortable using it in a sofa or chair. I would like to see more Decorating. Gardening and Craft shows aired on HGTV.
I agree that this color pink can be used as a neutral. I have it on the walls in my living room and have grounded it with taupe, charcoal grey and dark brown wood. I love it and no man has ever thought it was too girly.
Just learned of tis color over the holidays. My aunt has used it in her formal dining room. Very soft and neutral. Love it
I have a 14 year old that would never leave her room with one like this.
It is pretty but not what i would like too much pink.
I love the fresh light color but it is too much for me. Used as accent would be great. My granddaughter loves HGTV but pink is her new "I hate" color right now. She thinks it is to baby for her, she is a great big 11 years old now.
Looks “little old lady”ish. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. But…I am not ready to go there yet. Bring on beachy blues, greens with white, maybe your pink champaign as an accent…but not ready to drown in pink champaign color.

vintage pink…
Thumbs down. Who invited the eighties to this party?
maybe small touches like the curtains with gray walls and silver accents for spring, but definitely trendy, I would tire of it soon…
Mary Kay……
what era did you dig this up from ? the 20's ? my grandmother loved this in her home, our place is way to active to have a room you just look at and can't live in. great for showing model homes and furniture, not for us at al. we are ocean colors, blues and whites and yellows and creams and greens. love those colors. sorry, its a NO on the pinks
One of the great things about living in this century: Women finally make enough money to have their own houses decorated in any color they choose — including pink. I painted the walls and ceiling in my main living area a pink named Romance (by Sherwin Williams); it has a touch of brown in it — just enough to bring the pink down so it feels like you're in a cloud — the color is really light and soft. The men and women that have seen it love it. One man actually walked in and said, "Wow!"
Would love to have a personal space such as a home office with some of this inspiration. If anyone had to be in my personal space with me that didn't like it, well that would be just their problem.
I don't mind it as an accent, but NOT on a sofa or as a room color. I do like it with a taupe/gray background, however.
I think it is absolutely and totally delicious – perfect for young ladies, all the way to old ladies. My husband would balk but secretly love it. It's pure romance and light. Yummm
I am not a pink fan……..but I do like a more shrimpy, peachy pink more toward the orangey side
Really refreshing color. This color will work beautiful in small doses..

Its a retro color again…no, been there done that!
I bought an ice pink, gray and beige ceramic tile and am accenting my entire 1st floor with gray vertical blinds. I thought I was going to be still outdated but I am so glad to hear I am designing in style for January. I still have to remove my black carpet in my livingroom and put the rest of the tile down. One day I will be an interior decorator. Is there a place to find out how to paint my fireplace white? Where do i go for HELP. I am on a budget so I have to do alot of it myself. if you have any answers please let me know.
Pink Champagne on ice! I love the charcoal gray and silver with it! FAB.
