Hey there! I’m Sarah, an interior designer who’s created countless pink kitchens that actually work. Let’s transform your cooking space into something special.
Why Pink Kitchens Are Having Their Moment
Pink isn’t just for Barbie anymore.
This versatile color has become the secret weapon of modern kitchen design.
I’ve seen everything from subtle blush cabinets to bold magenta islands transform ordinary kitchens into Instagram-worthy spaces.

Choose your pink wisely:
- Blush pink: Perfect for a subtle, sophisticated look
