Magenta Enchantment
Playful, vivid and by no means shy, this vibrant pink adds drama wherever it goes
Houzz Contributor. I am a former magazine editor specializing in travel and design. I just completed my first remodel, turning my crumbling 1941 kitchen into a beauty of grays, whites and natural wood. If I could, I'd sleep on the countertop. That's how much I love it.

I have a thing for pink. Not the pale, girly pink of a baby's room. The vibrant, hot pink of tropical flowers, and Indian saris, and pinup girl lipstick. I have a thing for magenta.
There is a magenta pouf from Morocco in my living room, and although it's quite small, it is very powerful. I have made a lot of decorating choices around my magenta pouf. Magenta makes a statement. It is not to be taken lightly. But neither, under any circumstances, should it be avoided.

| A single spot of color in an otherwise neutral room is arresting and beautiful. It's the way to go if you're not prepared to go crazy with color. |
The pouf that launched a thousand decor decisions. I've kept other things mostly neutral and blue. But I also have touches of lime green and gold in the room. There is almost nothing it doesn't look good with.

| This magenta bed is such a drama queen, everything around her shrinks in comparison. |

| Charcoal and magenta have been married a long time, and they are still lovely together. Magenta adds playfulness, while charcoal keeps everything grounded. |
Magenta and blues — whether turquoise, navy or teal — always work well together.

| A touch of magenta can function as a room's exclamation points. |
If you are a big color person, let magenta be your friend. It goes with blues, yellows, greens and neutrals. It's the rainbow dater of the color wheel.
